Millions took to the streets of Yemen on Friday to voice support for Gazans in the face of a brutal Israeli onslaught against the besieged territory.
The rallies in the capital San’aa converged in the Al-Sabeen Square, the largest square in the city.
The protesters waved Palestinian flags and stressed their support for the oppressed nation until all the Palestinian lands were liberated.
They also chanted slogans against the US and UK, condemning their support for Israel and their aggression against Yemen.
The demonstrators chanted slogans including “Oh Gaza, oh Palestine… all Yemenis are with you” and “Oh Gaza, we are with you… you are not alone”.
One of the signs carried by marchers read, “America is the mother of terrorism.”
In a declaration issued at the end of the event, protestors urged Yemeni armed forces to carry out larger attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden against Israeli interests.
The statement called on the Arab and Muslim people to put pressure on their governments, especially those governments who hold ties with the Israeli regime, to do more to support Palestine.
The statement also called for the globe to boycott American and Israeli goods, noting that this would increase the financial strain on the regime and its backers.
The northern city of Sa’ada and dozens of other cities across the Arab country also witnessed similar protests.
Yemenis have been holding massive rallies in solidarity with Gaza for 17 consecutive weeks since the regime’s brutal war on Gaza began.
The first pro-Palestine march was held on October 7, the day Hamas launched a surprise multi-pronged operation that caught the regime flat-footed.
Yemen has launched military operations against the Israeli regime in support of Gaza and targeted Israeli-linked ships in the Red and Arabian seas, vowing to continue such operations until the regime stops its military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
