Palestinian Al-Ahrar Movement: "Anyone who thinks resistance in Gaza ended & will raise white flag is delusional"
Gaza – Saba: The Palestinian Al-Ahrar Movement affirmed on Wednesday evening its commitment to "national unity, which we urgently need in the face of this aggression and the war crimes committed against our children , women, amid international silence and full alignment with the Zionist occupation." In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement emphasized that "our unity lies in our cohesion, strengthening our steadfastness, and unifying our goal: confronting this occupation by all means, foremost among them armed resistance." The statement noted that "amid the ongoing Zionist aggression and genocide in Gaza, voices have emerged calling for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority to take over the administration of the Gaza Strip." In response, the movement asserted that "anyone who thinks the resistance in Gaza has ended and will raise the white flag is delusional. Our heroic fighters continue to shackle the Zionist enemy daily through deadly ambushes, unleashing hell with the stones of David, inflicting human and material losses on their soldiers, equipment, and Gideon forces. Resistance operations remain at their peak despite the scorched-earth policy implemented by the Zionist occupation army in Gaza." The statement added: "Once the war ends and the aggression against our people stops, the next day will be purely Palestinian. Through national consensus—and while we recognize that the PLO has been afflicted by senility and Alzheimer's—there is no harm in it assuming Gaza's affairs after restructuring and rebuilding its internal system, integrating all Palestinian factions, and forming an honorable stance aligned with our people's resilience and sacrifices. Without this, no party, regardless of its status, has the right to lead the Palestinian scene." The movement further stated: "We view these calls, at a time when our people's blood is being shed, as a systematic and reprehensible intelligence operation aimed at exploiting the current security situation to benefit the Authority at the expense of our people's suffering. These voices ignore the Authority's complete silence regarding the crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, as well as documented reports and videos implicating some of its elements in security chaos, internal strife, and collaboration with the occupation. Their stance seems to say: 'When will Gaza be entered, even if on the back of a Zionist-American tank?'" The movement concluded: "Those demanding the Authority's rule over Gaza are either blind in sight and insight or complicit in its security, moral, and national collapse. Its disgraceful model of governance in the West Bank is evident to all, with its security agencies' violations against resistance fighters under the guise of 'sacred security coordination,' as declared by its leaders, and its crimes against our people—suppressing rights and freedoms while playing interchangeable roles with the occupation."

Zakat authority launches project to distribute 10,000 cash crop baskets
Sana'a - Saba: The General Authority of Zakat launched on Wednesday the eighth phase of the cash crop distribution project under the slogan "Food and Sufficiency," targeting 10,000 poor families. At the launch, First Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed Miftah congratulated the Zakat Authority on the launch of the project, which coincides with Eid al-Adha, especially since part of the project covers Eid requirements for poor families, including honey, almonds, raisins, sesame, coffee, and other crops. Miftah pointed out that the project is a bounty and blessing from Yemen, thanks to the efforts of farmers and producers and the efforts of Zakat Authority employees, reaching the poor and needy. He noted the launch of the project and the preceding packaging, roasting, and distribution of cash crop baskets to the poor, bringing joy to their hearts. Sheikh Miftah urged those in charge of the Zakat Authority to investigate and ensure that Zakat is delivered to those most in need. For his part, Ali al-Saqqaf, Deputy Director of the Zakat Authority, praised the farmers' initiative to pay their Zakat on cash crops, a right God Almighty has enjoined upon the poor, out of their good will, and hand it over to the Zakat Authority for distribution to those who deserve it. He stated that the project stems from the efforts of the Authority's staff and the farmers' initiative to distribute 10,000 baskets at a cost of 400 million riyals, with each basket costing 40,000 riyals. The basket benefits 10,000 beneficiaries, including poor families, people with special needs, thalassemia patients, war wounded and disabled, and members of African communities. Al-Saqqaf noted that in-kind Zakat is steadily increasing due to the trust of zakat payers in the Zakat Authority and its role in distributing Zakat to its legitimate recipients.
