News - Yemen: Yemeni Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Jamal Amer, sent a letter to the President of the UN Security Council and the Secretary-General of the United Nations. 

In his letter, Minister Amer urged the Security Council to reassess its unjust stance of siding with the oppressors against the victims. He called for a serious consideration of Sana’a's proposal to end war crimes and genocide committed by Israel against Palestinians in Gaza and to seek a resolution to the Palestinian issue.

The minister expressed Yemen’s disapproval of the Security Council’s persistent failure to fulfill its responsibilities to maintain international peace and security, as outlined in the UN Charter. He highlighted that Israel continues to flagrantly violate international law by committing war crimes, genocide, and brutal massacres in Gaza.

Amer also addressed the US-Israeli targeting of Yemen’s infrastructure, evidenced by statements made by the extremist Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, which he described as brazen and reflective of the ineffectiveness of international institutions complicit in unethical behavior.

The letter detailed terrorist attacks on several civilian sites in Yemen, including the three ports of Hodeidah—vital lifelines for humanitarian aid and commercial goods. It also noted airstrikes on Sana’a International Airport during the presence of a high-ranking UN delegation and attacks on power stations in Sana’a and Hodeidah.

The letter confirmed that Israeli airstrikes on Yemen resulted in civilian casualties, including workers in civilian facilities. It added that the aggression stems from Sana’a’s principled, humanitarian, and ethical stance against the genocide and forced displacement of Gazans, particularly by preventing ships linked to or bound for the occupying entity.

The Israeli regime initiated a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, following a historic operation carried out by the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group in response to the escalating atrocities committed by the occupying regime against the Palestinian population.

Israel has enforced a comprehensive siege on the densely populated region, severing essential supplies such as fuel, electricity, food, and water, affecting more than two million Palestinians residing within the territory.

Israel’s war on Gaza has so far killed at least 45,658 Palestinians and wounded 108,583.
