Sa'ada sees massive protests for International al-Quds Day
Sa'ada - Saba:
Thirty-five large-scale marches took place on Friday afternoon across Sa'ada province to commemorate International al-Quds Day, demonstrating strong support for the Palestinian cause.
Participants in the marches, held in various locations including the Prophet's Birthday Square and other district centers, chanted anti-Israel and anti-American slogans, declaring Israel a "cancerous tumor" and the United States the "Great Satan." They vowed that airstrikes would not deter their support for the Palestinian people.
Sa'ada governor Mohammed Awad praised the high turnout, emphasizing the Yemeni people's fearlessness and continued commitment to supporting Palestine.
A statement issued by the marches highlighted International al-Quds Day as a call for Islamic unity against Israel, particularly in light of the ongoing conflict in Gaza and alleged Israeli aggression against Lebanon and Syria. The statement criticized Arab and Islamic inaction and accused the United States of complicity.
The statement connected al-Quds Day marches to the tenth anniversary of Yemen's "National Day of Steadfastness," framing them as a continuation of Yemen's resistance against the Saudi-led aggression and the United States. They emphasized Yemen's unwavering support for Palestine, even amid their own aggression.
The statement reiterated Yemen's commitment to "jihad" against the United States and Israel enemy, expressing confidence in divine victory. They also praised the Yemeni people's resilience against the Saudi-led aggression, citing their ongoing support for Palestine as a testament to their principles.

Yemen:U.S. Embassy Condemns Continued Detention of Innocent Civilians by Houthis and Calls for Immediate Release
Aden- The U.S. Embassy to Yemen issued a strongly worded statement today, Friday, June 6, 2025, condemning the continued detention of innocent Yemeni civilians by the Houthi militia. Among those detained are employees of diplomatic missions, NGOs, and United Nations agencies—some of whom have been held since 2021. The embassy emphasized that these individuals have committed no crimes, noting that their work was focused on supporting their families and serving their communities. The statement described the detentions as a flagrant violation of human rights and international law. The embassy also pointed out that the Houthis are intimidating the families of detainees in an effort to silence them, preventing them from speaking publicly, sharing photos, or advocating for their loved ones. This campaign of fear effectively hides the plight of these innocent Yemenis from public view. The U.S. Embassy renewed its urgent call for the immediate and unconditional release of all detained civilians. It also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing diplomatic efforts to secure their freedom and ensure their safety and dignity. This condemnation follows recent reports by human rights organizations indicating that, since May 2024, the Houthi militia has arbitrarily arrested and forcibly disappeared dozens of UN and NGO workers without trial or disclosure of their whereabouts—acts that constitute grave breaches of international humanitarian law.

Due to Yemeni Forces' Blockade: Revenues from Israeli Port of Eilat Collapsed by 80% in 2024
Occupied al-Quds- Saba: The Israeli newspaper "The Marker" revealed that revenues from the port of Eilat collapsed by 80% in 2024, after ships stopped docking there following the blockade imposed by Yemeni forces on maritime navigation in the Red Sea in support of the Gaza Strip. The Israeli government will vote next Sunday on a draft resolution for compensation conditional on the payment of a debt of 3.2 million shekels accumulated by the port owners. The draft resolution reveals the extent of the damage to the port due to the blockade imposed by the Yemeni armed forces, which has prevented ships from sailing through the Red Sea, forcing them instead to circumnavigate Africa to reach Israel's Mediterranean ports, Ashdod and Haifa. From the beginning of 2025 to mid-May, only six ships docked at the port. The suspension of operations placed 21 employees on unpaid leave, compared to only 16 ships docked last year. In 2023, port revenues reached NIS 212 million. In 2024, they decreased by approximately 80%, reaching NIS 42 million, compared to 134 ships docking at the port in 2023.
