Yemen urges Saudi Arabia to stop hostile actions, not follow US
A senior member of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council says Yemenis will continue to support Palestinians in the Gaza Strip despite the severe economic sanctions, urging Riyadh to end its hostile actions.
Mohammed Ali al-Houthi downplayed the unilateral economic sanctions by the United States and Saudi Arabia against Yemeni banks, stressing that such moves would not affect the pro-Palestine positions of the Yemeni nation.
“Yemeni people well know that those who targeted their wages are the same individuals, who targeted their economy. They are the ones who cut the payment of civil servants,” Houthi said.
Addressing Saudi authorities, he added, “It is in your best interest to stop these hostile actions. Following in Washington’s footsteps will never be to the benefit of Riyadh.”
Houthi underscored that stepped-up economic sanctions and financial blockade will never manage to weaken the position of the Yemeni nation and their solidarity with oppressed Palestinians in Gaza.
He added that Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansarullah resistance movement, has not threatened Saudi Aria but rather advised its ruling officials to review their actions.
“Saudis understand the meaning of the statements made by the Ansarullah leader. However, they continue to oppress and target the people of Yemen. They will find out the results of their hostile actions, which will benefit our people,” Houthi said.
The senior member of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council further noted that Yemenis will not sit idly by while their economy is targeted. “A major revenge awaits the United States, Israel and their associates,” he said.
Yemenis rally in Sa’ada to show support for Gaza
Meanwhile, Yemeni protesters have poured onto the streets of the northern city of Sa’ada in yet another rally in support of war-ravaged Gaza.
The demonstration was one of the biggest by the Yemenis in the past few months.
They have been holding rallies in Sa’ada and the capital Sana’a on Fridays since the Gaza war broke out in early October.
The Yemeni protesters denounced Israel and its main supporter, the US, for the genocidal war on Gaza.
The demonstrators also hailed the Yemeni Armed Forces for their military operations targeting Israel-linked vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
