Sana'a - Saba:
Yemen's parliament on Wednesday expressed its deep appreciation for the supportive stances of parliamentarians and countries standing in solidarity with the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples and their just cause in the face of what it described as "American aggression and arrogance."
The Parliament specifically lauded the position of Irish Member of Parliament and former Member of the European Parliament Mike Wallace, who affirmed Yemen's adherence to international law in its operations supporting Palestinians, a stance the Yemeni Parliament believes the international community should have adopted.
In a letter addressed to the European Parliament member, the parliament conveyed the pride and gratitude of all "free people" for the courageous stand Yemen has taken in confronting "imperialism" and its "heroic role" in resisting the "Zionist-American aggression and their allies in the region."
The Parliament asserted the "falsehood of Western civilization," labeling it "barbaric" and accusing it of attempting to mask its "ugly face" with a "fake democracy" that can be "bought with money." The Parliament stated that 90 percent of Europeans support the Palestinian cause, with only "politicians and profiteers" backing the "criminal Zionist entity" in its "war crimes and genocide" against the Palestinian people.
The Parliament emphasized the crucial role of "free parliamentarians" in mobilizing and activating diplomacy and relations with "free countries" to convey the injustices faced by the Yemeni and Palestinian peoples to all parliamentary and international forums. It urged them to push for a strong and influential role for the international community in addressing these issues.
The Parliament expressed the pride of the entire Yemeni people and all "free people" in these "courageous and sincere positions" supporting Yemen in the face of the "aggression and siege" it endures due to its solidarity with Palestine. It expressed hope that the heads and members of Arab and Islamic parliaments would recognize their "humanitarian and moral responsibility" and learn from the stances embodied by the "free people of the world," including the widespread protests in European and American cities denouncing the "crimes committed by Zionist war criminals against the children of Gaza."
In a related development, the Parliament and its Presidency sent a letter of thanks and appreciation to the Speaker of the People's Assembly of the Republic of Maldives, warmly welcoming and blessing the Maldives' "courageous decision" to ban Israelis from entering its territory. The Parliament praised these "courageous and sincere positions," which it noted many rulers and leaders affiliated with some Arab and Islamic countries have failed to take.
The Parliament expressed its hope that other "free countries" would follow suit in declaring their rejection and condemnation of the "crimes committed by the Israeli enemy entity" against the Palestinian people. It called on all "free people" to take urgent action to save the Palestinian people from the "brutal massacres committed by Zionist war criminals" and to pressure the "Zionist entity" through all political and economic means to halt the "aggression," end the siege on Gaza, and demand the accountability of "Zionist war criminals" in international courts for their crimes against Palestinian children and women.
