With unprecedented million-strong crowds.. Yemenis affirm escalation against Zionist enemy in response to its crimes in Gaza
[23/ May/2025]
Sana'a - Saba:
In unprecedented million-strong crowds, the people of Yemen poured into the streets in the capital of the free, Sana'a, and across various provinces, reaffirming Yemen's steadfast and distinguished position in providing all forms of support and solidarity to the Palestinian people.

This massive turnout came as a strong response to the Zionist enemy's escalating aggression against the people of Gaza.

The massive public marches, held under the slogan "Steadfast with Gaza... We will escalate in Face of Genocide and Starvation," emphasized the continuation of jihadist resistance at all levels against the arrogant enemy, which persists in exterminating Palestinians without any significant Arab or international move to stop the bloodshed.

Through these marches, the Yemeni people affirmed that the genocide and unjust siege against the Muslim Arab people in Gaza have exposed the hypocrisy of many Arab and Islamic regimes. These regimes have betrayed their people and surrendered to the nation's primary enemy—the Zionist entity—losing all sovereignty over their decisions.

The roaring crowds expressed popular support and endorsement for the heroic operations carried out by the armed forces against the Zionist enemy, which have successfully enforced a naval and aerial blockade, inflicting heavy economic losses.

The massive marches also sent a clear message to Arab and Islamic nations, urging them to fulfill their religious, moral, and humanitarian responsibilities toward their brethren in Gaza. Their silence and submission have only emboldened the enemy to escalate its criminal and brutal actions against children, women, and entire Palestinian families in Gaza.

The following statement was issued by the million-man marches in the capital and the provinces:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our Master Muhammad, his pure and virtuous family, and his righteous companions.

God Almighty said: "Fight them, and God will punish them by your hands, disgrace them, give you victory over them, and heal the hearts of a believing people." (Quran 9:14)

In this bloody week, the Zionist enemy escalated its horrific crimes and genocide against our brothers in Gaza, who, alongside the ongoing killings and destruction, suffer from the major crime of starvation and thirst in an unprecedented tragic situation. Additionally, the enemy has destroyed all necessities of life—water, electricity, health facilities, and the most basic forms of shelter—amid a shameful Arab , Islamic stance and humiliating global inaction.

Driven by our religious, humanitarian, and moral responsibility, we took to the streets today in our million-man marches to reaffirm our unwavering and honorable stance in support of the Palestinian people, entrusting the leadership and fully endorsing all decisions, options, and military operations against the Zionist enemy entity. We emphasize the following:

First:In the face of the most heinous genocide crimes of modern times, which stain the conscience of this generation, we, as a Muslim Yemeni people, declare that we will not accept being part of this disgrace or this dark chapter in human history. Instead, we record our stance before God, His creation, His religion, and His noble Book: We have not accepted, will never accept, will never remain silent, and will never retreat. We will continue with full determination, faith, loyalty until God grants victory and relief to Gaza, fulfilling His promise. With anger and pain, we call upon the nations of our Ummah to act and rise from this disgrace, taking a practical stance against these heart-wrenching crimes. They must wash away the shame of silence and inaction—otherwise, the punishment of God in this life and the hereafter is the inevitable fate of every conspirator and betrayer. God Almighty said: "If you do not march forth, He will punish you with a painful torment and replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. And God has power over all things." (Quran 9:39)

Second: We reiterate our absolute support, pride, and honor in the military operations of our Armed Forces against the Zionist enemy entity, which have inflicted significant damage. We pray to God Almighty to grant success to our sons and brothers in the Armed Forces in developing and enhancing their capabilities to deliver even greater and more severe blows to this criminal, oppressive, and disbelieving enemy—until it is deterred and forced to stop its aggression and lift the siege on Gaza, leading, God willing, to the liberation of Palestine and Al-Aqsa. Victory comes only from God.

Third: We commend and take pride in the historic resilience, immense patience, and heroic epics written by the resistance and people of Gaza. We call upon the Ummah to draw lessons from their steadfastness, patience, and sacrifice, knowing that Gaza today—under the harshest and most brutal conditions—rejects surrender and thwarts the enemy from achieving any goal. So what is the excuse of those who hesitate and surrender under the pretext of incapability, despite possessing vast resources and immense capabilities for confrontation—unmatched by Gaza?

We ask God Almighty to hasten victory and relief for the oppressed Muslim Palestinian people and their noble mujahideen, to grant us victory through His support, to have mercy on the martyrs, heal the wounded, and free the prisoners. He is the All-Hearing, the Answerer of prayers.

And the last of our call is: Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds.
