US oil exports: reciprocity

US oil exports: reciprocity

Saba Yemen07-05-2025

Sana'a - Saba:
The decision by the Humanitarian Coordination Center (HCC) prohibiting the export, re-export, transfer, loading, purchase, or sale of American crude oil from US ports, whether directly or indirectly, including ship-to-ship transfers, in whole or in part, or through other means, expands the scope of the military confrontation with the United States and marks a new turning point in Sana'a's plans to undermine the US economy.
As is well known, America conducts its global policy and diplomacy based on two main entities: the military and the economic, both of which complement each other. On the military front, over decades and in a time of relative oblivion, America has built a powerful army based on its plunder of people's oil and mineral wealth, whether through direct or indirect occupation or the threat of occupation, to this end, it has built large military bases on various continents, deploying lethal weapons and highly trained soldiers, these bases have become focal points for any hostile US military action against any country that does not submit to Washington's dictates or harbors hostility toward its political agenda.
America has lavished billions of dollars on its military and equipped it with the latest weapons, making it a powerful tool to protect its interests. This is well-known worldwide.
Economically, America has built a strong economy by plundering the resources and wealth of nations, whether through occupation or the threat of occupation. This rogue state has largely succeeded in doing so. It has also controlled important waterways and countries with sensitive geopolitical characteristics, leading to its near-total dominance over the world, it has established itself as an international policeman to protect its interests and those of its allies.
Accordingly, the significance of the Yemeni Humanitarian Coordination Center's decision to ban US oil exports lies in the concept of reciprocity. It is a decision no country in the world would have considered taking. However, the Republic of Yemen, based on its leadership and national will, made this decision, demonstrating to the entire world the fragility of the American system, even if it is militarily and economically strong.
Yemen said it and will implement it, and the world will follow. It will start thinking about doing what the Republic of Yemen did in opposing the reckless American policy, and everyone will know after that that America is nothing but a vocal phenomenon if there is someone who says no to it and stands up to its reckless policy.

Hamas Leader Reveals Details of Ceasefire Negotiation Process

Gaza – Saba News Agency: A senior Hamas official, Mahmoud Mardawi, stated that the movement reached an acceptable draft agreement after weeks of serious negotiations with the American envoy. The draft met the minimum national demands and requirements to protect the Palestinian people. The U.S. mediator agreed to present the draft to the 'Israeli' side, but the enemy rejected it and insisted on treating it as a final, non-negotiable proposal. According to the Palestine Online website, Mardawi said via his official account on the 'X' platform that the proposed paper contained 'catastrophic loopholes' even worse than previous 'Israeli' proposals. He outlined the major flaws: It did not ensure a genuine withdrawal from Palestinian territories. It did not include a comprehensive ceasefire at any stage. It did not guarantee the sustained flow of humanitarian aid. It failed to include any binding commitments beyond the seventh day (when the exchange of Israeli prisoners is expected), instead leaving everything after that subject to 'Israeli' will and interpretation. Mardawi explained, 'In clearer terms: take what we give now, and we'll see later if we follow through.' Despite this, he noted that Hamas gave a positive initial response, agreeing to the paper in principle but rejecting the use of its vague terms as cover for continued genocide, starvation, or as a backdoor to political and security manipulation. The movement demanded revisions to sections that failed to guarantee an end to the killing, enable sustainable aid delivery, ensure the return of displaced people, or commit the enemy to a clear withdrawal and ceasefire. Mardawi stressed that these revisions precisely matched what was already agreed upon with the U.S. mediator over the past weeks. He expressed disappointment with the U.S. response, saying Washington labeled Hamas's reply a 'step backward,' despite knowing it was based entirely on mutual understandings. He asserted that Hamas is not obstructing the truce efforts or maneuvering politically, but rather gave a responsible response with necessary edits to protect Palestinians from extermination. Addressing the international community and involved parties, Mardawi said: 'We demand an end to the aggression, the delivery of aid, the return of displaced persons, and the freedom of prisoners. These are not political conditions but the bare minimum of human dignity.' He concluded by affirming that Hamas will continue all possible efforts to reach an agreement that leads to the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and ends the war, starvation, and genocide. Separately, senior Hamas official Taher Al-Nounou confirmed the movement had agreed to release ten Israeli captives, indicating the dispute centered around the timing of their release. Speaking to Alaraby TV, Al-Nounou said Hamas's response to the U.S.-proposed 'Wittkoff Plan' formed a valid basis for negotiations that could lead to an agreement, adding: 'We considered the inclusion of implementable clauses in the agreement.' He emphasized that the movement aims to strengthen the ceasefire agreement and begin a new round of negotiations, while remaining firm on the need for credible guarantees in any ceasefire deal. On Saturday, Hamas officially submitted its response to the 'Wittkoff Proposal' via mediators, reaffirming its commitment to achieving a permanent ceasefire, a full withdrawal from Gaza, and uninterrupted humanitarian aid to the people of the Strip. Following this, the U.S. envoy rejected Hamas's reply, saying it was 'completely unacceptable.' Wittkoff stated: 'I have received Hamas's response to the U.S. proposal, and it is utterly unacceptable. It will only set us back.' Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Government Media Office: "Zionist Enemy circulates fabricated video to cover up Rafah Massacre"

Gaza - SABA The Government Media Office in Gaza stated on Sunday that the Zionist enemy army's release of a "fabricated and misleading" video constitutes an attempt to cover up its massacre of civilians near so-called "Israeli-American humanitarian aid distribution centers" in Rafah city, which left 31 civilians martyred and 200 injured. In a press statement, the Office noted that "releasing the video over 15 hours after the massacre confirms it's part of a calculated media campaign to absolve the enemy," questioning: "If reconnaissance aircraft filmed the incident, why wasn't it released immediately?" The statement dismissed the enemy's claims about "local gunmen firing at crowds" as "blatant lies," contradicting survivor testimonies and field evidence confirming victims were hit by direct enemy gunfire in areas under full enemy control, with no crossfire. The Office revealed the published footage was filmed in eastern Khan Younis—not western Rafah where the massacre occurred—showing staged chaos involving "local gangs known for ties with the enemy" who looted aid and fired randomly to sow panic, creating pretexts for the enemy's subsequent shootings. The video's inclusion of "flour bags" exposes its fabrication, the statement added, as the purported "Israeli-American aid" contains no flour but consists of materials stolen from international organizations like the "Rahma" foundation. The statement further rejected enemy allegations about Hamas obstructing aid, stressing that for over 90 days, the enemy has systematically blocked aid flows, closed crossings, targeted trucks, and disrupted humanitarian coordination as part of its starvation and genocide policy. It recalled the enemy's repeated use of pre-edited fake footage to justify crimes, including recent claims about "armed militants" in UNRWA schools where all casualties were civilians. The Office concluded that the video cannot whitewash a documented crime—shooting starving civilians seeking sustenance—emphasizing that "Rafah massacres stand as evidence of mass murder no dark, fabricated video can erase." The enemy resumed its intensified aggression and siege on Gaza at dawn on March 18, 2025, violating a two-month ceasefire agreement effective since January 19. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Palestinian Al-Ahrar Movement: Zionist massacre during aid distribution is compound war crime

Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Al-Ahrar Movement condemned the massacre during aid distribution in Mawasi Rafah and the Netzarim axis in Gaza Strip, targeting children, women, and starving civilians, as a compound Zionist war crime. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement stated that this crime reflects a deliberate escalation in killing and a blatant disregard for human life, facilitated by American complicity and the international community's shameful silence. "The Zionist enemy and the U.S. administration have proven their ill intentions by exploiting aid centers, falsely claiming they are safe passages, while turning them into traps for the hungry to justify the indiscriminate killing of innocent women and children," the statement added. The movement held the "Zionist enemy and the U.S. administration responsible for this massacre, which claimed over 50 martyrs, mostly women and children, at supposedly safe aid centers—exposing the lie of international involvement aimed at shedding more innocent blood." It further noted that the Zionist enemy "has not been satisfied with bombing houses without warning, targeting crowded shelters, or attacking food distribution points. Now, it brazenly weaponizes starvation for mass murder, emboldened by the international community's silence and the exploitation of people's desperate need for food and water." Al-Ahrar emphasized that "the international community must act immediately to restrain this Nazi-fascist entity from its war crimes in Gaza, halt this barbaric aggression, open crossings, abolish so-called American 'death corridors,' and ensure aid delivery through UN institutions."
