News - Yemen: The Yemeni Shura Council praised the Palestinian people's response to the incursions of settlers and the Zionist occupation forces into the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In a statement issued, Monday, the Council condemned the criminal practices of the Zionist settlers from the occupying forces against the Palestinian people in occupied Al-Quds.

The Council indicated that the Palestinian people were able to confirm their Palestinian identity and their rejection of the Judaization of Al-Quds, and this was embodied through their massive rallies and raising the Palestinian flag in the sky of Al-Quds.

The statement affirmed full solidarity with the Palestinian people and their legitimate right to establish their independent state with Al-Quds as its capital, and the unequivocal rejection of the aggression and desecration of sanctities by the Zionist settlers.

The Council noted the importance of the government's completion of a bill criminalizing normalization with the Zionist entity.

For its part, at least 145 Palestinians have been injured during clashes with Zionist forces and illegal settlers throughout the occupied West Bank, including East al-Quds, where Israeli extremists staged a hugely controversial march.

The entire West Bank witnesses an upsurge in unrest every year prompted by the so-called “March of the Flags.”

The yearly event features extremist settlers marching through the heart of the main Palestinian thoroughfare in East al-Quds’ Old City, and waving Zionist flags and chanting provocative slogans.

It commemorates the Israeli regime’s 1967 occupation of East al-Quds, which Palestinians want as the capital of their future state. The parade is associated with violence against Palestinians and the "display of incitement, Jewish dominance, and racism," according to Israeli NGO Ir Amim.

This year’s march was reportedly partaken by around 25,000 settlers, who were being accompanied and protected by Zionist forces.
