Jaldia Abubakra, a member of the executive committee of the Masar Badil, said, “This petition was signed by hundreds of parties, popular and revolutionary forces, liberation movements, and trade unions around the world to express their support for the brave Yemeni position, and their commitment to stand alongside the Yemeni people confronting siege and aggression.” .

Abubakra said, “The Yemeni people are fighting a just battle in support of Gaza, and the Yemeni armed forces were able to impose a naval blockade on the Zionist entity. The Yemeni people are contributing to the struggle by putting their strength, blood, and security on the line, and they continue to go out to the squares and streets to strongly express their noble and principled position in unprecedented popular marches.”

The international coordinator of Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, Charlotte Kates, said that “the petition expresses an international popular support for the Yemeni position in support of the steadfastness and struggle of the Palestinian people confronting the war of extermination waged by the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip.”

Kates said that “the war of siege and aggression against Yemen has been waged by the United States, Britain, and the Zionist regime for years, with the participation of regimes such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and others, and they are the same forces that have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza since October 7.”

It is worth noting that about 250 organizations and parties signed the international petition.

We stand with Yemen confronting U.S. and British aggression

We, the undersigned parties, organizations and associations, condemn the U.S.-British aggression and attacks on the struggling people of Yemen, we express our support for the principled Yemeni position towards the Palestinian cause rights, and we declare our solidarity with the Yemeni people in the historic battle that they are waging to end the genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, to stop Zionist war crimes and to break the siege. We also stand behind the heroic Yemeni armed forces and their legitimate, natural right to respond to aggression as they implement the demands of the Yemeni people and the directives and decisions of the revolutionary leadership in Sana’a.

The people of Yemen, who have remained committed to their firm and advanced revolutionary position, continue to confront all forms of siege and aggression at the hands of the U.S. and British colonial forces and their agents in the region. They will not be intimidated by the recent U.S.-British massacre on May 31, 2024, which caused dozens of martyrs and casualties. The people of Yemen continue to express their position with unparalleled strength and courage, especially on Fridays, through the massive and solemn public demonstrations in “Sabaeen Square” in the center of the capital, Sana’a, and in various governorates, squares, and streets of the country.

The heroic Yemeni position, which has been embodied in word and deed in confronting war and aggression over the past ten years, and in supporting the Palestinian people for more than eight months, constitutes the true and necessary response against the Zionist-U.S. war of annihilation against the Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip. It also embodies an effective revolutionary model in true solidarity with the Palestinian people. This exceptional stance has become a source of pride and inspiration for all peoples and movements for justice and liberation in the world, proving the strength of free peoples and their ability to change the equations of conflict and shift the balance of power as they confront imperialism, Zionism and their agents in the world.

Glory to the martyrs and speedy recovery to the wounded

The criminal camp of U.S.-British-Zionist aggression and and their agents in the region will be defeated

Victory for the Palestinian and Yemeni peoples and for the resistance camp in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq

Long live international solidarity
