News - Yemen: President Mehdi Al-Mashat is preparing to approve the draft law on hostile countries and entities against Yemen, a source from the presidency office has confirmed.

Earlier, President Al-Mashat participated in Friday afternoon's million-person march held in Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana’a.

In his speech, President Al-Mashat reiterated the continuation of Yemen's popular and official stance supporting the Palestinian cause, commending the large Yemeni presence for their extensive movement, awareness, interaction, and steadfastness in their position.

"From this place, I say to the trio of evil attacking our people in Gaza that they must stop the aggression and lift the siege on Gaza, and there is no solution for them other than this option," he said, confirming that Yemen will not accept bargaining.

President Al-Mashat added: "Anyone who attacks us must be met with a response regardless of the consequences."

Addressing the US-UK aggression, he said, "Our decision is firm, and you are the ones who started and are not the ones to finish," reaffirming that the Yemeni position may take paths higher than the expectations of the American enemy, forcing it to withdraw from the scene if the region does not comply.

Al-Mashat praised the roles of the Yemeni Armed Forces, addressing its heroes by saying, "You are preserving the face of the Islamic Nation, which has unfortunately become a laughingstock."

Al-Sabeen Square in the capital Sana'a witnessed Friday afternoon a million-man march in support of the Palestinian people. The largest squares of the capital were filled with a human flood for the 19th Friday, responding to the call of the Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badreddin al-Houthi.

The gathered masses raised Palestinian and Yemeni flags, freedom banners, and signs condemning the Zionist aggression and the genocidal massacres inflicted on the oppressed Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

Since the start of the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has killed at least 28,775 Palestinians and injured more than 68,552 others.

Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza, which is under “complete siege” by Israel.

In solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip, the Yemeni Armed Forces have targeted ships in the Red Sea with owners linked to Israel or those going to and from ports in the occupied territories.

In December, the US formed a multinational military coalition against Yemeni forces in the Red Sea, through which 12 percent of global trade passes.

The US and the UK have been carrying out numerous such attacks against Yemen to pressure the country into stopping a series of operations that it has been conducting in support of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

The Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik has said the rising aggression by the "evil trio" of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel would not affect the determination of the Yemeni people to support Palestinians in the besieged strip.

Yemen has been conducting operations against the British and American warships that have been dispatched to the Red Sea to confront the Yemeni strikes.
