Yemen says monitoring Netanyahu’s ‘crushing defeat’, pledges support for Gaza

The Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement has congratulated Palestinians on the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire deal, reaffirming its unwavering support for the oppressed nation and its resistance front.

“With faith and confidence in the promised divine victory, we reiterate Yemen's unfaltering support for Palestine and its resistance,” the group said in a statement on Monday.

It added, “Yemen will closely follow up on the full implementation of the agreement and its details, and will resolutely confront any possible escalation of aggression by the Zionist regime.”

The Ansarullah movement described the implementation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, as part of which 90 Palestinian prisoners were freed from Israeli jails, as the fruit of resilience in the face of the 15-month-long genocidal war and brutalities by the Israeli military.

“The genocidal war, launched by the Zionist regime, was waged with the full complicity of the United States and the unlimited support of Western European countries,” the Yemeni group stated.

It lauded the Gaza ceasefire deal and the release of the first group of Palestinian prisoners, which was achieved through sacrifices of the local Palestinian population, as a historic achievement.

“Palestinians have recorded an epic saga of patience and resilience. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood proved that we are facing a tyrannical and bullying enemy, which only understands the language of force and cannot be deterred by any means other than the language it comprehends [which is confrontation],” Ansarullah pointed out.

It underlined that the martyrdom of the late secretary-general of the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance movement, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh, and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar helped the attainment of this great achievement.

Israel: 90 Palestinian abductees freed in first exchange of Gaza ceasefire deal

Israel has released ninety Palestinian abductees as part of the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire deal with the Hamas resistance movement.

It noted that a complete fiasco was imposed on the Zionist regime, the United States and Britain, which brought “a great disappointment for criminal [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.”

Israeli authorities released 90 Palestinians from the Israeli Ofer military prison at about 1:30 a.m. local time (2330 GMT) on Monday.

The release came hours after Hamas released three Israeli captives from Gaza, on the first day of a ceasefire deal.

The freed Palestinians included politician Khalida Jarrar and journalist Rula Hassanein. Among the released prisoners were women from East al-Quds, and minors.

Several of the freed Palestinians described as difficult the conditions in Israeli prisons, including lack of medical care and solitary confinement.

The prisoner release is part of a Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that took effect on Sunday.
