News - Yemen: Millions of Yemeni people marched across the country on Friday to mark Quds Day and express solidarity with Palestinians, while condemning Israel's ongoing atrocities against people in the besieged Gaza Strip and other parts of Palestine.

In the capital Sana'a and other provinces, massive popular marches took place, in response to the call of Sayyed Abdulmalik.

The leader, Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, called on the Yemeni people to participate in the wide million-man march, Friday, to combine their weekly million-man march with the occasion of the International Day of Al-Quds, noting that this year's International Day of Al-Quds comes under exceptional circumstances different from previous years.

In his speech Thursday evening, on the occasion of the International Day of Al-Quds, the leader affirmed that the nation needs to be fully vigilant against the enemy's conspiracies and goals, and to confront it in all fields. 

He also called on the Islamic nation to feel responsible, and care about the Palestinian cause, and actively contribute to supporting the Palestinian people and practically strive to confront the enemies.

The statement of the march affirmed that the Palestinian cause is the top cause and issue of the nation, and it is incumbent upon the nation to protect and safeguard the sanctities and take the initiative to liberate them.

After it hailed the resilience of the Palestinian people, expressing deepest sympathy for the unprecedented crimes they are facing, the participants renewed demand for countries between Yemen and Palestine to open safe land corridors to allow Yemenis to go and fight directly against Israel.

The statement also emphasized the importance of continuing activities and popular marches in support of the Palestinian people and their sacred battle against the criminal Zionist entity.

The participants stressed the necessity of continuing Yemen’s military operations supporting the Al-Aqsa Storm battle until the Israeli aggression stops and the siege is lifted on the Palestinian people.

They called for a boycott of American and Israeli goods and companies supporting them, affirming that the boycott weapon is effective and accessible to all.

Since the commencement of the Israeli regime's relentless military campaign against Gaza in early October, the Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine's struggle against the Israeli occupation.

The Armed Forces have conducted recent attacks on ships with ties to Israel near Yemeni ports, including the interception and seizure of a vessel associated with the Tel Aviv regime on November 19.

The ongoing Israeli siege has inflicted heavy casualties on Palestinians in Gaza, who have been enduring the war since October 7.

Gaza's Health Ministry said over 32,500 people, mostly women and children, had been killed in the war that the regime started following an operation staged by the Palestinian territory's resistance movements.
