Sana’a – Saba News Agency
Since the outbreak of the brutal Israeli aggression against the besieged Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, fragile Arab and Islamic regimes have consistently turned their backs on Gaza. They have ignored desperate pleas for help—pleas that carry blame and sorrow from the residents of Gaza who hope that both the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation would take meaningful action to stop the assault.
Daily cries for help from Gaza's people continue, against the backdrop of massacres, widespread destruction, and acts of genocide committed by the Israeli army against defenseless civilians. The current escalation, especially after the renewal of aggression during Ramadan on March 18, has made the situation far more tragic than in the previous 15-month campaign. The Israeli army is now carrying out unprecedented ethnic cleansing, erasing what remains of life in Gaza.
Despite their suffering, the people of Gaza have not stopped appealing to the Arab and Islamic world. Yet, in reality, they see no genuine diplomatic efforts to restrain or hold the Israeli enemy accountable for its ongoing crimes.
In stark contrast to this Arab and Islamic inaction—and amid international silence—Yemen stands out with its firm and unwavering support for Gaza, sending a clear message to the world that the Yemeni people will continue supporting Gaza and Palestine regardless of consequences.
In response, the U.S. and the U.K. have launched attacks on Yemen to pressure it into halting its support for Gaza and lifting its blockade on Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea.
Yemen retaliates by launching hypersonic missiles and strike drones at Tel Aviv (Yafo) and other cities deep within the occupied Palestinian territories in support of Gaza.
Revolutionary leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi consistently affirms Yemen's steadfast position in supporting Gaza and the Palestinian cause.
He warned the Zionist enemy before it resumed its aggression on March 18 that if the ceasefire were violated, Yemen would escalate in response. In a speech on Sunday, January 26, 2025, marking the martyrdom anniversary of the “Martyr of the Qur’an,” Sayyed Hussein Badr al-Din, Sayyed Abdul-Malik declared, “We continue our comprehensive military and all-around movement in support of Palestine, just as we have done effectively for the past 15 months against the Israeli enemy.”
He emphasized that the Yemeni people stood by Gaza in all conditions—through heat, cold, rain, fasting, and under bombardment—unmoved by hostile media campaigns.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik stressed that the Ummah must recalibrate its positions to ensure they are grounded in faith, ethics, values, and divine principles.
He clarified that the American and Israeli agenda operates within frameworks of loyalty and hostility. When the Ummah aligns its stance with them, it becomes complicit. The stance toward enemies, he argued, is not just political or material—it’s rooted in moral, humanitarian, and religious principles.
U.S. President Donald Trump turned his back on promises made during his election campaign to promote global peace, openly declaring his aggressive war on Yemen for its unwavering support for Gaza.
Trump adopted a more hostile tone toward Yemen, stating on Saturday, “We will not tolerate attacks on American vessels. We will use overwhelming lethal force until we achieve our goal.”
On Saturday, March 15, he ordered criminal airstrikes on Yemen to force it to abandon its support for Gaza and lift the maritime blockade imposed by Yemen’s armed forces on Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea.
The first day of American aggression resulted in at least nine civilian deaths and nine injuries in U.S. airstrikes on Sana’a.
This situation raises urgent questions about the effective role of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), comprising 57 Arab and Islamic countries, and the Arab League, which includes 22 member states. What are these institutions doing to stop the Zionist aggression and genocide in Gaza? What actions are expected of them to protect Palestinians, defend their rights in international forums, and pressure the criminal Israeli regime to cease its attacks?
