"Democracy" : Palestinian People Have Right to Self-Determination
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) affirmed on Tuesday that "the fate of our Palestinian people in the 1967 occupied territories the West Bank (with Quds at its heart) and the Gaza Strip is not a matter to be experimented with in political laboratories in Western capitals."
In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the DFLP emphasized that "the Palestinian people's right to self-determination on their own land, the establishment of a fully sovereign and independent state, and the resolution of the refugee issue in accordance with UN Resolution 194 - which guarantees their right to return to their homes and properties from which they were displaced in 1948 - is a sacred right that cannot be manipulated or reinterpreted."
The Front called on Western powers to "stop turning the cause of our people - especially in the Gaza Strip - into a testing ground, governed by a mindset of superiority and colonial arrogance that still lingers in the consciousness of several Western capitals, including the United States and Europe."
It stressed that "resolving the situation in Gaza is not a puzzle nor a matter to be exploited by colonial ambitions or the West's obsessive desire to interfere in the affairs of rising nations."
The DFLP emphasized that the solution in Gaza lies in "an immediate end to the genocide and starvation, the full and immediate withdrawal of the occupation army from the entire Gaza Strip, lifting the siege, and opening all crossings to allow the flow of humanitarian and life-saving aid - including food, water, medicine, sanitation supplies, and dignified shelter materials. It also includes the evacuation of the wounded and critically ill for treatment abroad, the facilitation of efforts to recover the bodies of martyrs and those missing under the rubble, and the dismantling of the 'American death-for-food company.'"
The statement also called for enabling and overseeing the distribution of aid by international and humanitarian agencies, especially UNRWA, and for the restoration and reconstruction of the fragmented society in Gaza.

Sultanate of Oman condemns Israeli statements regarding so-called "Greater Israel"
Muscat - Saba: The Sultanate of Oman condemned in the strongest terms the statements and allegations made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding so-called "Greater Israel." The Sultanate expressed its categorical rejection of his illegal expansionist plans, which flagrantly violate international law and infringe upon the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state on their lands in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with Quds as its capital. In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday, the Sultanate of Oman stressed that these expansionist proposals pose a direct threat to the security and stability of the region and fuel hostility and tension at a time when there is a dire need for calm, cooperation among the countries of the region, and respect for the principles of national sovereignty. The Sultanate of Oman also affirmed its firm position in support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries of the region, and its firm rejection of any plans aimed at undermining national entities or changing the political geography of the region. The Sultanate of Oman reiterated its firm commitment to supporting the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them their right to establish an independent state on the June 4, 1967, borders, with East Quds as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. The Sultanate of Oman called on the international community to take a firm stance against these aggressive policies, work to protect the rights of the Palestinian people, and ensure the achievement of a just and comprehensive peace in the region.

Russia Prepares to Test New Missile Ahead of Alaska Summit
Washington - Saba: Reuters quoted American researchers and a Western security source as saying that Moscow is working on testing what appears to be a new nuclear-powered cruise missile, as Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares for talks with his US counterpart, Donald Trump, next Friday in Alaska. According to Reuters, these assessments were reached separately by Jeffrey Lewis of the California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies and Decker Eveleth of the Virginia-based research and analysis organization CNA, by examining images taken by commercial satellite company Planet Labs in recent weeks and up until Tuesday. The two researchers agreed in their conclusions that the images reveal extensive activity at the Pankovo test site on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Barents Sea, including increases in personnel, equipment, vessels, and aircraft related to previous tests of the 9M730 Burevestnik missile. "We can see all the activity going on at the test site, which is massive amounts of supplies coming in to support operations and movement around the place where they're actually launching the missile," Jeffrey Lewis said. A Western security source confirmed to Reuters that Moscow is preparing to test the Burevestnik missile. Lewis indicated that the test could take place this week, raising the possibility that it could impact the summit between the Russian and US presidents in Alaska. The Russian president has previously described the missile as "invincible" against current and future missile defenses. Lewis, Eveleth, and two arms control experts noted that the missile's development has gained greater importance for Russia since the US president announced in January the development of the US "Gold Dome" missile defense shield. However, experts say it is unclear whether the missile is capable of penetrating the defenses, and that it will spread radiation along its flight path. Researchers and experts said the missile test was scheduled to take place long before the Trump-Putin summit was announced last week.

Armed Forces Target Lod Airport in Occupied Jaffa
Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip... The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and suspending airport operations. The Yemeni Armed Forces are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza and affirm their full confidence in the ability of the heroic Mujahideen from all factions to thwart the enemy's moves and foil its plan to occupy Gaza and displace its people, Allah willing, just as they foiled the previous aggressive military operation, named "Chariots of Gideon," and its predecessors. With Allah's help, we will remain with you and by your side until victory, utilizing all our available capabilities. We will escalate our support operations until the aggression against you stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Safar 20, 1447 AH August 14, 2025 AD
