It reaffirmed the Yemeni people’s steadfastness in the path of truth and jihad without doubt or hesitation, pledging to never abandon Gaza or its people. “You are not alone, and you will never be alone—God is with you, and we are with you. Whoever has God on their side will never be defeated,” the statement declared.

The statement addressed the American and Zionist enemies, asserting: “Your aggression is a failure—whether in Gaza or Yemen. In Gaza, you have not freed a single prisoner or defeated the resistance. In Yemen, you haven’t secured a single ship or halted our operations. This isn’t because your weapons are weak or ours are stronger—it is because we are on the side of truth and you are on the side of falsehood. We rely on God, and you rely on Satan—that’s the source of our strength and your weakness despite your massive capabilities.”

It continued: “Your psychological warfare also fails and vanishes into the air in front of our people’s awareness and absolute trust in God. The fear and media warfare of Satan only affects his allies, as Allah says: ‘Indeed, that is Satan who frightens his supporters. So fear them not, but fear Me, if you are believers.’

The statement called for the activation of all official and popular resources to support Palestine and defend Yemen, including mass mobilization, training, financial contributions for God’s cause, economic boycotts, and media and cultural resistance.

It also urged security and judicial authorities to firmly punish anyone found collaborating with the Zionist or American enemies against Gaza or Yemen.
