The Government of Change and Construction is placing the utmost emphasis on enhancing coordination and cooperation between ministries, consolidating government institutional work in line with its overall program to establish a modern and strong state founded on institutional principles.
The government is working to implement a qualitative organizational and structural transformation as part of establishing sound, clear, and rational institutions.
Over the past week, a series of coordination meetings were held to strengthen cooperation between relevant agencies, monitor the implementation of plans and projects, and exchange views on challenges and opportunities. These meetings produced important recommendations to enhance institutional integration and support efforts to achieve the desired strategic objectives efficiently and effectively.
Government officials conducted field visits to assess the performance of state institutions, identify challenges and needs in the governorates, and oversee economic, development, and service projects. They also reviewed local authorities' efforts to achieve self-sufficiency and expand the local production base.
On the external front, the Government of Change and Construction, represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, continues its regional and international engagement regarding the repercussions of the aggression and blockade, as well as the consequences of the Zionist aggression against our country. This engagement focuses on strengthening relations with Arab and Islamic countries, enhancing the diplomatic presence of the Republic of Yemen, and maintaining coordination with the United Nations and other international organizations operating in the country. It also includes monitoring the situation of refugees from the Horn of Africa and overseeing measures aimed at curbing the increasing flow of illegal immigrants into Yemen.
The Government of Change and Reconstruction is focusing on activating the role of cooperatives and organizing community work, thereby contributing to the establishment of an effective development leadership capable of formulating a future vision grounded in reality, responding to citizens’ needs, and fostering a more aware and active society in managing its resources and developing its environment. It also seeks to train “development knights” and support community initiatives aimed at advancing services and development, while building a genuine partnership between government agencies and local communities to enhance the requirements of comprehensive development and achieve self-sufficiency.
Yemen—its leadership, government, and people—continues to support the Gaza Strip in confronting the brutal Zionist aggression, reaffirming its steadfast stance in support of the just Palestinian cause until the Palestinian people attain all their legitimate rights. From qualitative military operations to popular chants in public squares and fields, Yemen’s voice rises to declare its categorical rejection of the Zionist aggression and its full support for the Palestinian people’s right to life, freedom, and dignity. It affirms that steadfast Gaza will remain in the heart of every Yemeni until victory is achieved and the occupation comes to an end.
Last week, the armed forces carried out fourteen missile and drone operations targeting Lod Airport and Israeli sites in Jaffa, Haifa, and Ashkelon, in addition to naval operations in the far north of the Red Sea. The maritime embargo remains successful, effective, and influential, with the port of Umm al-Rashrash still closed.
At the popular level, an expanded meeting was held in Raymah Governorate for scholars and preachers, while a large group graduated from the “Al-Aqsa Flood” courses at Sana’a University. Massive university and school marches, along with tribal and women’s gatherings and protests, were also organized.
The Humanitarian Coordination Center imposed sanctions on sixty-four companies that violated the naval blockade imposed on the Israeli enemy. The entire fleets of these companies were prohibited from crossing the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, and remain subject to targeting in any area within the range of the Yemeni armed forces. These sanctions aim to pressure the occupying Israeli entity to halt its aggression and lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Among the activities held over the past week, the Ministry of Education and Scientific Research, together with the local authority in Sana’a Governorate, organized two seminars titled “The Nature of the Conflict with the Zionist Enemy.” In Amran Governorate, the Graphic Design Department at the Community College opened its second annual exhibition in solidarity with the people of Gaza. The exhibition showcased creative artworks expressing the suffering of the people of Gaza and the importance of standing with, supporting, and backing the Palestinian cause, as well as Yemen’s brave and heroic stance in supporting Gaza.
In this context, the spokesman for the Government of Change and Construction, Minister of Information Hashem Sharaf al-Din, affirmed that Yemen’s position on the Palestinian cause remains as firm and unshakable as the mountains, both at the official and popular levels.
He declared: “Yemen, with its dear people and wise leadership, will always stand as a defender of Gaza and its people. The Yemeni position is not fleeting; it is a firm commitment embodied in the positions of millions of our people—consistent with those of the leadership—and materially and morally translated into numerous manifestations and major operations carried out by our valiant armed forces against the Israeli enemy and its American partner.”
He stressed that Yemen does not recognize, accept, or ever accept the usurping Israeli presence in Palestine or any other Arab land, nor the shameful and treasonous deals promoted under false pretenses to liquidate the Palestinian cause.
Minister Sharaf al-Din further noted that the Palestinian cause is a sacred issue uniting all Yemenis, with no room for compromise or retreat. He concluded: “In the battle for the promised conquest and holy jihad, we will continue our unwavering support for our brothers in Gaza by all legitimate means until the aggression ends and the siege is lifted.”
Commemorating the Prophet's Birthday
Over the past week, the capital secretariat and various governorates witnessed intensive preparations to commemorate the birth of the Holy Prophet for the year 1447 AH.
Official bodies and local authorities are working to prepare celebratory plans and programs and organize central and community events that befit the greatness of the occasion.
The preparations include equipping celebration squares and coordinating efforts to ensure the holding of distinctive events that reflect the status of the Great Messenger in the hearts of Yemenis, and highlight the spiritual and faith-based nature that distinguishes this blessed occasion.

The directives urge everyone to highlight the role of Yemenis with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) in confronting the first age of ignorance and the age of modern ignorance, and to expose the cultural trends that seek to separate the nation from the Prophet and the Holy Quran.
The Council assigned the Prime Minister's Office to prepare a specific timeline for holding events in ministries, bodies, and authorities, to ensure the proper arrangement of events and achieve discipline in their timing.
The activities for the Prophet's birthday celebration were launched, and school tournaments began in several governorates, including competitions in football, volleyball, Taekwondo, athletics, Kung Fu, karate, swimming, and judo, with the aim of developing students' physical and intellectual abilities and strengthening their connection to the true faith.
