Sana'a - Saba:
With tireless dedication, persistent effort, and unwavering resolve, the Government of Change and Construction has continued to fulfill its responsibilities by closely monitoring the evolving situation and taking decisive action to ease the suffering of citizens both at home and abroad.
Over the past week, the Government, in coordination with various state agencies, has operated with the unity and intensity of a beehive—working diligently to address urgent needs, implement key priorities, and reinforce its steadfast support for Gaza. This included executing strategic military operations, organizing mobilization efforts, and leading demonstrations in solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip.
Supporting Gaza
Yemen’s position in support of Gaza remains unwavering. The nation continues to take decisive measures to pressure the Israeli occupation, including the imposition of air and naval blockades. The Yemeni Armed Forces recently announced the enforcement of a maritime blockade on the port of Haifa in the occupied Palestinian territories, building on earlier actions targeting Ben Gurion Airport in Lod and the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat).
The Humanitarian Operations and Coordination Center (HOCC) has issued formal communications to international shipping companies, warning of the heightened risks associated with vessels entering or departing from the port of Haifa. These include the potential for sanctions against shipping fleets that violate the embargo or collaborate with entities that do.
In a continuation of military operations, the Yemeni Armed Forces launched ballistic missiles and drones deep into Israeli territory, including four missiles targeting Lod Airport. The attacks triggered air raid sirens across multiple occupied cities, prompting millions of residents to seek shelter.
Impact and Continued Mobilization
The Yemeni operations have had a significant impact on the Israeli enemy across various levels—most notably on the economic front. Several international airlines have extended their suspension of flights to the occupied Palestinian territories. In addition, maritime traffic through key regional waterways—such as the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea—toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) has been effectively disrupted.
Across the capital, Sana'a, and other governorates, mass marches continued with great momentum. These demonstrations reflect deep faith, human conscience, and unwavering loyalty to the sacrifices of the martyrs and the wounded. They also serve as a heartfelt expression of solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are enduring a brutal campaign of genocide.
To reinforce combat readiness and support the frontlines with fighters, arms, and advanced equipment, general mobilization efforts have continued throughout the week. These activities have included training exercises, tactical maneuvers, and military parades. Armed tribal gatherings have also taken place, showcasing the courage, resilience, and steadfast determination of the Yemeni people—rooted in their faith, dignity, and unwavering trust in God Almighty.
While the Security and Intelligence Service (SIS) plays a vital role in early response to enemy plots and criminal activities targeting the country's national security, Prime Minister Ahmed Al-Rahwi, during his meeting with the SIS's Deputy Chief, Major General Abdul Qader Al-Shami, praised the efforts made by the SIS's leadership and cadres and the security and intelligence successes achieved, including the uncovering of numerous spy networks affiliated with the American, Israeli, and Saudi enemies.
He affirmed the government's support for the SIS to enhance its vital performance in serving security and stability and thwarting enemy plots targeting the internal front and the country's security.
Addressing Social Problems and Serving Security
Within the framework of strengthening the complementary relationship between the government and the Shura Council, particularly with regard to contributing to strengthening the internal front, national resilience in confronting enemies, and consolidating security, stability, and social peace, Prime Ministers Ahmed Al-Rahwi and Mohammed Al-Aidaroos reviewed the field efforts of Shura Council members at the local level, their tangible contributions to addressing social issues, and their impact on serving security and stability.
Commitment to Red Sea Security
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed Yemen's commitment to the safety and security of the Red Sea, limiting its protection to the coastal states and categorically rejecting its militarization. The Ministry noted that the maritime navigation ban is limited to the Zionist entity only and comes after the international community's failure to lift the blockade imposed on Gaza and halt the ongoing genocide crimes for more than 19 months.
A Message of Steadfastness from Sana'a Airport
In a remarkable achievement that reflects the will of national steadfastness in the face of systematic targeting, civilian flights have resumed at Sana'a International Airport, following the completion of work to restore its technical and operational readiness after being subjected to more than 30 airstrikes launched by the Israeli enemy on May 6.
Flights were operated between Sana'a International Airport and Queen Alia International Airport in Jordan, along with humanitarian flights from the United Nations, a practical indication of the complete technical and operational readiness and the provision of navigation and ground services in accordance with international standards approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
Yemenia Airlines announced the commencement of the Hajj pilgrimage from Sana'a International Airport to the Holy Land starting Saturday, May 24, 2025, after obtaining official permits from the relevant Saudi authorities.
The airline confirmed the flight schedules for approximately 2,000 pilgrims on the first day, despite the challenges it faces, including operating only one aircraft through Sana'a Airport.
The 35th Anniversary of the Republic of Yemen
As part of Yemen's celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Republic of Yemen on May 22, the Government of Change and Construction organized a speech ceremony to mark this national occasion.

In the same context, Prime Minister Ahmed al-Rahawi discussed with the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Dr. Ali al-Yafei, the cultural activities and events that the ministry will organize on the occasion of the National Day, with their national, political, and humanitarian dimensions, in light of the aggression and occupation of part of its territory to which the country is subjected.
The events highlighted the crimes of the Saudi-Emirati occupier in the occupied governorates, regions, and islands, as well as the policy of starvation and the destruction of the daily lives of citizens there.
The need to support the people of the occupied territories through all available means was emphasized, based on national and moral responsibility, which represents the essence of the Quranic journey and the national project led by Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi.
The need to strengthen cultural activity in confronting the aggression through various creative arts was also emphasized, and to activate the cultural front to confront the enemy's plans that target the faith and cultural identity of Yemeni society and its authentic values was also emphasized.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism organized a folk arts festival under the slogan "From Sana'a to Gaza" in Tahrir Square to celebrate and celebrate the National Day. The festival, funded by the Heritage and Cultural Development Fund, lasted four days.
Through the festival, the Yemeni people sent a message to the world, to traitors, and to mercenaries that projects and schemes to divide the nation and return it to the pre-May 22, 1990 era will fail in the face of the determination and resolve of honorable people in the various governorates, north, south, east, and west, and their adherence to and defense of their unity as a strategic option that cannot be retreated or compromised.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism, with support from the Heritage and Cultural Development Fund, also organized a military music parade to celebrate the National Day. The parade began at Bab al-Yemen, passing through al-Zubairi Street and arriving at Tahrir Square in the capital. The bands played pieces from national anthems expressing the greatness of Yemeni unity, concluding with the national anthem.

This came in a letter sent by Amer to his Egyptian counterpart, in which he expressed concern over information about some Yemenis being detained on charges related to dealing in hard currency, despite following official procedures.

The workshop covered several topics related to media deception, its methods, and tools, as well as ways to counter rumors and confront the American-Zionist media machine and its tools. It also addressed the deception it spreads to public opinion as part of its war on Yemen, aiming to dissuade the Yemeni people from their support for Gaza.
Enhancing Traffic Safety and Eliminating Illegal Activities
To enhance traffic safety and coordinate efforts to reduce congestion and eliminate illegal activities, a meeting held in the capital's secretariat approved the implementation of several awareness-raising and advisory activities, followed by a joint field campaign to regulate informal markets that obstruct traffic and oblige commercial establishment owners to provide parking spaces and organize parking.
The attendees emphasized the need to regulate bus routes, clear main streets of street vendors, and create appropriate spaces for them.
Developing Agricultural Extension
The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources, Dr. Radwan Al-Rubai, discussed with the Agricultural Extension and Training Department staff ways to develop and enhance the role of agricultural extension and improve the extension message. This will contribute to developing production and marketing practices and processes, as well as indicators for reducing costs, improving quality, reducing waste, increasing economic returns, and raising farmers' awareness of the importance of applying sound practices.
Demand for an International Investigation into the Targeting of Fishermen
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Water Resources called for an urgent international investigation and a clear condemnation by the United Nations and human rights and humanitarian organizations of the crime committed by the Eritrean Navy against Yemeni fishermen in territorial waters. This crime resulted in the deaths of two fishermen and the serious injury of a third. The fishermen were then taken to Eritrean waters, detained for hours, and their property and fishing equipment were looted.
The Ministry called for urgent action to protect Yemeni fishermen from these grave violations, which contravene all international norms and conventions.
Without tiring or faltering, Yemen's leadership, government, and people continue to work tirelessly to overcome challenges and move steadily toward building a modern Yemeni state, in parallel with support operations in Gaza and mobilization activities to confront the escalating aggression against the Yemeni and Palestinian people.
