Jordanian security forces disperse popular protest in Jordan Valley against aggression on Gaza & arrest dozens of people
Jordanian security forces prevented on Friday afternoon, the holding of a popular rally in the area of the unknown soldier in the Jordan Valley near the border with occupied Palestine, to reject the Zionist aggression against Gaza Strip.
According to the Quds Press Agency, since Thursday evening, Jordanian security forces set up dozens of checkpoints on all roads leading to the Jordan Valley from all Jordanian governorates, and cordoned off the area of the Sahaba Mosque, which was designated as a gathering point for the event, and when it could not be reached, hundreds of Jordanians gathered in the vicinity of Abu Aisha Mosque, also located west of Amman, and organized a popular rally after Friday prayers.
After Friday prayers, the security services quickly dispersed the popular stand in front of the Abu Aisha mosque by force, and a number of people were arrested, including Ahmad Barakat, a member of the executive office of the Islamic Action Front Party (a Jordanian political party), Mustafa al-Saqer, a member of the executive office of the Islamic Movement (Muslim Brotherhood), and youth activists: Osama al-Hardan and Issa al-Jitawi, among others.
Hassan al-Riyati, a member of the Islamic Action Front, said: "At a time when Jordan needs to strengthen the internal front to confront the aggression and its expansionist plans towards Jordan, we see a sudden action by Jordanian officials to arrest participants in marches in support of Gaza and others who provide other forms of support for the resistance."
Al-Riyati added: "What is happening today is painful and we must maintain unity in defense of Jordan, as well as Palestine, and what is happening today of judicial rulings on charges of destabilizing relations with a friendly state, the Zionist occupation state, which will only be an eternal enemy to the entire Islamic nation, these are dangerous indicators that we must overcome, and decision-makers in our country Jordan must support the resistance and support everyone who moves for our people in Gaza, as the resistance in Gaza is the first line of defense for Jordan."
Abdul Qader al-Khatib, a lawyer for the IAF's Freedom Committee, said: "The banning of today's march is surprising and reprehensible because the event is peaceful and supports the official Jordanian position related to rejecting the Judaization of the West Bank, not changing the status quo in Al-Aqsa Mosque and stopping the aggression on Gaza."
Jordanian popular forces, including the National Forum to Support the Resistance, the Islamic Movement, the Popular Unity Party (a left-wing nationalist party) and a number of other popular events had called for a series of events that were met with prevention by the Jordanian official side, the last of which was today's march that was scheduled to reach the unknown soldier's square in the Jordan Valley.
About four weeks ago, the enemy resumed its aggression on Gaza Strip after a two-month truce and committed many massacres amid a total blockade of the Strip, to renew the Jordanian popular movement rejecting the aggression on Gaza.

OIC: Decision to Reoccupy Gaza Represents Dangerous Escalation in Ongoing Genocide Crimes
Jeddah – Saba: The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has condemned the Zionist enemy's decision to fully reoccupy the Gaza Strip as a dangerous escalation in the ongoing series of genocide crimes, destruction, starvation, displacement, and the Israeli blockade on Gaza. In a statement issued on Friday, the OIC emphasized that these crimes represent a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and a blatant challenge to relevant United Nations resolutions, as well as the legal rulings of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including the provisional measures ordered by the court. The OIC held the Zionist enemy, the occupying force, fully responsible for the consequences of these crimes, which exacerbate the unprecedented humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip. The organization also strongly denounced the dangerous escalation in crimes committed by extremist settler groups under the protection of Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, including continued settlement expansion, land seizures, home demolitions, repeated attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites, and the ongoing withholding of Palestinian tax revenues. It described these actions as egregious violations of international law and the decisions of the international community. The OIC called on the UN Security Council to take immediate and decisive action to fulfill its responsibilities by enforcing a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire, ensuring the unhindered delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid and basic necessities to all parts of Gaza, providing effective international protection for the Palestinian people, and taking the necessary measures to end the occupation and enable Palestinians to establish their independent and sovereign state on the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, with Quds as its capital.

Mass rallies in Marib in solidarity with Gaza & readiness to confront enemy plots
Marib - Saba: The governorate of Marib witnessed on Friday 17 massive rallies and dozens of gatherings under the slogan: 'Steadfast with Gaza… Our readiness is high to confront all enemy conspiracies.' In Al-Jubah Square, residents of the southern sector held a large rally, raising banners and chanting slogans condemning the ongoing massacres and crimes committed by the Zionist enemy against the people of Gaza, as well as the collective starvation and siege policies backed by the U.S., Western powers, and enabled by Arab and Islamic inaction. In Sarwah District, residents rallied in the squares of Sarwah Market, Habab, and Al-Mahjaza, with the participation of Marib Governor Ali Tuaiman. Participants affirmed that the mobilization of the Zionist-American enemy's agents from inside and outside the region against the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon, and the activation of its tools in Yemen, is part of the American aggression targeting the free peoples of the region. In Majzar District, a mass rally was held in Al-Husoon Square, where participants denounced Zionist assaults on Al-Aqsa Mosque, describing them as part of the so-called 'Greater Israel' plan—met with suspicious silence from the peoples of the Muslim nation. Harib Al-Qaramish District witnessed rallies in the squares of Bab Hurra, Shujaa, Al-Hazm, Hurra, and Al-Liwa, where participants stressed their high vigilance to confront enemy schemes targeting the home front, and authorized the revolutionary leadership to deal firmly and decisively with agents of betrayal and treason. In Badbedah District, residents praised the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces deep inside the Zionist entity and the imposition of a naval blockade on its ports, calling for intensified qualitative operations until the aggression stops and the siege on Gaza is lifted. Mass rallies were also held in the squares of Qaniyah, Al-Amoud, Jabal Murad, Rahba, and Harib Al-Janah, emphasizing the need to expand mobilization activities, support the fronts with funds and fighters, and maintain high combat readiness to confront enemy plots and achieve victory for Gaza. A statement issued by the rallies reaffirmed steadfast, clear, firm, and escalating support for the people of Gaza and all of Palestine, and for their steadfast, courageous, and faithful resistance. The statement called on all Muslims to support Gaza with money, arms, and all means that strengthen its resilience—describing this as the sound and wise choice, commanded by God, dictated by reason and logic, demanded by the current reality, and proven in its correctness and effectiveness compared to the failure of all other options. It stressed that the mobilization of Zionist-American agents from inside and outside the Muslim nation against the resistance in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon—using local and regional tools to pressure for disarmament of the resistance under the guise of 'interests'—and the intention to apply the same approach in Yemen, is part of the broader Zionist-American aggression, executed through deceptive tools and slogans. The statement affirmed the need to confront this with all forms of rejection, especially popular action, as the people ultimately bear the highest cost if they fail to move against such dangers. The rallies reiterated the readiness of Marib's people to confront any enemy plots or conspiracies and to continue supporting Gaza, placing their trust in God. The statement noted that Yemen's honorable stance has disturbed the enemies, who will not remain silent and will keep trying by all means to stop the Yemeni people and strip them of the honor of this position. It warned that the Muslim nation's neglect in the face of growing and escalating assaults on Al-Aqsa Mosque—aimed at conditioning the Ummah to accept them—will open the door to greater danger, encouraging the enemy to pursue its so-called 'Greater Israel' project, which includes control over Mecca and Medina. The statement concluded that those who do not rise for Al-Aqsa will not rise for Mecca or Medina. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Women's Authority in Hajjah organizes solidarity vigils with Palestinian people in Gaza
Hajjah – Saba: The Women's Authority in Hajjah governorate organized on Friday several solidarity vigils with the Palestinian people under the slogan: "Steadfast with Gaza... Our Readiness Is High to Face All Enemy Conspiracies." Participants in the vigils held in various areas raised both Palestinian and Yemeni flags, along with banners expressing disavowal of the enemies of Islam, traitors, and collaborators. The participants condemned the horrific crimes committed by the Zionist enemy against children and women in Gaza, including its policy of starvation and thirst aimed at exterminating the people of the Strip and using humanitarian aid as a trap for killing. They also denounced the ongoing efforts of the usurping Zionist entity to Judaize Jerusalem through the expansion of settlement outposts and demolition of Palestinian homes. The vigils strongly condemned the disgraceful stances of Arab and Islamic regimes regarding the brutal crimes committed by the Zionists in Gaza and the West Bank, and the aggression against Lebanon, in full view of the world. A statement issued by the vigils affirmed continued broad-based activity as part of a principled stance of jihad for the sake of Allah, fulfillment of responsibility, and steadfastness in a comprehensive, clear, firm, and escalating position in support of the Palestinian people. The statement called on all Muslims to support the courageous resistance in Gaza with weapons and everything that would strengthen their steadfastness, considering it the sound and wise option. It also warned that the Zionist-American enemy's activation of its agents inside and outside the Ummah to pressure the resistance in Gaza, Palestine, and Lebanon — using local and regional tools under the guise of 'interests' — is merely part of the broader aggression against the Ummah using deceptive tactics. The statement concluded by calling on all Arab and Islamic peoples to rise up, raise their voices, protect al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites, and stand in solidarity with Gaza and the Palestinian people.
