President Al-Mashat calls on rulers, peoples of Arab & Islamic countries to take strong & unified stance towards Zionist siege & starvation of our brothers in Gaza
Sana'a - Saba: H.E. Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, Head of the Supreme Political Council, called on all Arab and Islamic countries' rulers and peoples to take a strong and unified stance towards the Zionist siege and starvation of the brothers in Gaza. In a statement to Yemeni News Agency (Saba), President Al-Mashat said, "The world, which has been silenced by the Zionist machine of falsehood and propaganda, must hear our position in the face of the brutal extermination of our people in Gaza." "Everyone must realise that the Israeli entity is the problem and that pursuing illusions of solutions with it is a form of wandering and loss, and let us confront every voice that rises that would divert the compass of hostility to this criminal enemy and its supporters to inter-communal provocations, whatever their titles," he added. He pointed out that the children who are dying of hunger in Gaza have no affiliation except the humanitarian instinct, so let's not fail them by inter-group quarrels, silence and inaction. The President expressed hope that all Arab and Islamic countries, rulers and peoples, will take action to save Gaza from genocide, stressing that the nation is in dire need of a strong and unified stance to push back the imminent danger before it affects everyone. "Whoever has no position in Gaza and Palestine will not be able to pay the danger when it strikes, and whoever is not disturbed by the tragic scenes of the starving dead in Gaza is insensitive and has lost his pride, religion, Islam and humanity," he said. "Let us all go to wash away the shame of our nation before history curses us and the Zionists tread on our faces. There is no excuse for anyone before God and the responsibility falls on everyone," he added. President Al-Mashat reiterated that "we are ready in the Republic of Yemen to be at the forefront of the trend towards unity of position and cooperation in the face of the dreaded Zionist criminality and its evil supporters, and we are waiting for official signals from Arab and Islamic countries." Addressing Arab and Muslim rulers, he said, ": "If you are unable to act, let the peoples move to have a position, and if the peoples do not move, the penalty of silence and silence will reach all the peoples of our nation, and God will help us.

Road Opening Initiatives: Humanitarian Priority for Sana'a Leadership to Strengthen National Cohesion
Sana'a - Saba: The Revolutionary Leadership and the Supreme Political Council have placed road opening among their national and humanitarian priorities, based on their deep awareness of the daily suffering caused by closed roads to citizens, in light of the ongoing US-Saudi-Emirati aggression and blockade of the country. This concern has been evident in the successive initiatives launched by the Sana'a leadership, affirming its commitment to its moral and humanitarian responsibilities and embodying the goals of the September 21 Revolution, which aim to strengthen national cohesion and alleviate the suffering of citizens. Sana'a has pursued its revolutionary and liberation approach with awareness and responsibility, engaging with every initiative that would alleviate the suffering of citizens and improve their livelihoods, this comes at a time when the aggression coalition has been lurking in Yemen for decades, an extension of the era of British colonialism that extended its hegemony over the south of the country for approximately 129 years, during which it entrenched a policy of "divide and rule," dividing the nation into rival sheikhdoms and sultanates. The effects and repercussions of the aggression have multiplied, affecting various sectors, including depriving citizens of freedom of movement and communication through road closures and the targeting of travelers, either by enemy airstrikes or by banditry and looting gangs unleashed by the coalition on roads connecting governorates. Recognizing the vitality of this issue, the Sana'a leadership has presented a series of initiatives to open closed roads, believing in the importance of strengthening ties between Yemenis and facilitating freedom of movement between cities and regions, this is especially true since the closures were not limited to the north-south lines, but extended to include the interior districts and regions, exacerbating the daily suffering of citizens. The Sana'a leadership did not limit itself to the announced initiatives, but rather initiated their unilateral implementation on the ground, as a demonstration of good faith and a pretext for argument. However, the other side did not respond to these initiatives, given that the decision to open or close the road remained subject to the will of the Saudi and Emirati occupiers, who have transgressed all boundaries of neighborliness and Islamic and humanitarian values by launching a bloody aggression against a Muslim neighbor. Despite the repeated procrastination of the coalition's tools and mercenaries, and their continued rejection of road opening initiatives, the Sana'a leadership continued its humanitarian efforts with determination and national responsibility, these efforts resulted in the opening of several vital roads, including the Sana'a-Sirwah-Ma'rib Road, the Al-Bayda-Al-Jawba-Ma'rib City Road, the Al-Hawban-Qasr Al-Shaab-Al-Kamb Road, the Sana'a-Aden Road via Al-Dhale' Governorate, and finally the Aqabat Al-Mahalhal Road, linking the Abyan and Al-Bayda Governorates, this road was opened unilaterally, embodying the leadership's approach to alleviating the suffering of citizens and strengthening communication among the people of the nation. The road-opening initiatives would not have been possible without the Sana'a leadership's seriousness in addressing the repercussions of the aggression and blockade, despite the rifts created within the social fabric by the US-Saudi-Emirati coalition, in a desperate attempt to reproduce projects of hegemony and division. Despite this, the revolutionary leadership and the Supreme Political Council have been keen to overcome these challenges through a series of measures and steps, most notably the opening of internal and external roads, this will facilitate movement and trade, strengthen popular cohesion, and counter the attempts at division practiced by the occupying authorities in some governorates through regional division and identity discrimination. Opening roads between governorates is not merely a service-oriented measure; it is a fundamental right of Yemenis to freedom of movement, communication, and visitation, it contributes to protecting them from acts of banditry, kidnappings, and assassinations carried out by criminal gangs and armed militias loyal to the Saudi-Emirati aggression coalition in the occupied governorates, as part of colonial agendas seeking to destabilize security and impose a reality of chaos and division. The road-opening initiatives adopted by the Sana'a leadership were merely an extension of a steadfast humanitarian stance, a victory for the values of brotherhood and unity, and a rejection of all forms of fragmentation and division sought by the occupier and its tools. While the forces of aggression continue to obstruct every initiative that alleviates the suffering of the Yemeni people, the Sana'a government continues to present a responsible national model, with the spirit of the state, the morals of the revolution, and a firm stance.

Mohammed al-Houthi: What Israeli enemy is doing in Gaza full-fledged terrorism
Sana'a (Saba) – Member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, affirmed that the massacres committed by the Israeli enemy in Gaza constitute full-fledged terrorism and ongoing crimes of genocide. In an interview with Russia Today on the "Newsmaker" program, which aired this evening, Mohammed Ali al-Houthi explained that the Israeli enemy's terrorism and crimes against the people of Gaza are being supported by the United States and Europe, while Arab silence prevails. Regarding the Yemeni position in support of Gaza and its sustainability, the Supreme Political Council member affirmed that the Republic of Yemen has more and more options to support the people of Gaza. He explained that violating the Yemeni decision announced by the Leader to prevent ships from reaching occupied Palestinian ports constitutes support for terrorism and complicity with the Israeli enemy in its crimes against the people of Gaza. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab and Islamic regimes to take a clear stance on the crimes of the Israeli enemy, adding, "Today's aggression is in Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon, and tomorrow it will be in Egypt, Jordan, or any Gulf state." He called on the international community to prosecute the leadership of the Israeli entity for the war crimes and genocide they have committed against the people of Gaza. Below is the text of the interview: Russia Today: Dear viewers, good afternoon. Welcome to a new episode of "Newsmaker." We are pleased to host Mr. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Sana'a. Welcome to RT. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: Welcome. Russia Today: Let's start with the humanitarian tragedy the Palestinian people are experiencing. The Israeli massacres are ongoing, around the clock, the blockade is intensifying, devastating children, women, and the general population in the Gaza Strip. How would you describe what is happening in Gaza? Is it a war of genocide or an attempt to liquidate the Palestinian cause? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: It is terrorism in all its forms, and it is a crime of genocide, it is better to say it is a war of genocide than a war of genocide, because there is no war of genocide, but rather ongoing crimes of genocide. These crimes of genocide are being perpetrated deliberately and with clear American support and complicity, as well as European support from some European countries and clear European complicity. Russia Today: Despite the daily continuation of these Israeli massacres, there are currently indirect negotiations between Israel, on the one hand, and Hamas. How do you assess these negotiations? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: First, we trust the negotiators from the factions, whether Hamas or others, who stand with Hamas, in their ability, in their knowledge of deception methods, and in their familiarity with the enemy's tactics. Because the enemy seeks gradual progress, given the enormous pressure and global outrage, it is trying to reduce this outrage. But today we tell it: All its methods are exposed, and it will fail, Allah willing. Russia Today: You, the Ansar Allah movement, are at the heart of the battle with Israel. Why did you decide to engage directly in a confrontation with Tel Aviv, despite the geographical distance? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: This position is a humanitarian, Islamic, Arab, and fraternal one. This is our duty, and we must all move in this direction, the Yemeni position is an honorable one, and one that should not be questioned why. Russia Today: Does this mean you are engaged in an open naval war against Israeli shipping as long as the war and the blockade on Gaza continue? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: As long as the blockade and aggression on Gaza continue, the position is clear, the position has been announced by the Leader of the Revolution—may Allah protect him—and by the armed forces. The position has also been announced by the President of the Supreme Political Council and by all its members. Russia Today: Does this mean you are engaged in an open naval war against Israeli shipping as long as the war and the blockade on Gaza continue? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: As long as the blockade and aggression on Gaza continue, the position is clear, the position has been announced by the Leader of the Revolution—may Allah protect him—and by the armed forces. The position has also been announced by the President of the Supreme Political Council and by all its members. Russia Today: Recently, you conducted advanced naval operations in the Red Sea, the most recent of which was the sinking of two ships linked to Israeli shipping. What do these operations mean? Did you intentionally sink the ships? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: The Yemeni Armed Forces' announcement that they would target anything heading to the occupied entity or the occupied territories will be dealt with, they worked to violate the announced decision to prevent these ships from reaching the ports of occupied Palestine, because it is considered complicity with the enemy in its crimes. Russia Today: The Red Sea is an international waterway. You are carrying out your operations in support of Gaza in this vital waterway, some accuse you of threatening international navigation. How do you respond to that? What is your position on the Western military presence in this region? Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: The ships passing through—and we have said in previous interviews—confirm the lies of the American-Israeli media campaign, and those who stand with them, that our operations in the Red Sea target navigation. We have repeatedly said and emphasized, as has the Leader of the Revolution—may Allah protect him—that any ship that is not linked to the Israeli enemy and does not go to Palestinian ports to support this enemy cannot be targeted, and we continue to do so. Russia Today: Regarding the understandings reached between you and the United States through Omani mediation, are they still valid? I'm talking here about the understandings not to target American ships and warships in the Red Sea and the Mandab Sea. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi: They remain as they are, and these understandings are still being adhered to. If the Americans try to do it again, we will do it again, Allah willing.
