Yemen stands with Palestine as it knows how oppression feels: Yemeni official

Yemen’s recent military operations against the Israeli regime in response to its genocidal campaign in Gaza are rooted in the fact that the Yemeni people have experienced oppression and occupation, says a Yemeni official.

Abdulelah Mohamed Hajar, an advisor to the head of the Supreme Political Council of Yemen, made these remarks in an interview with the Press TV website on Monday.

In recent weeks, Yemen’s armed forces have staged multiple attacks against the Israeli regime in solidarity with the Palestinian people who have been facing indiscriminate bombings since October 7 after the Hamas-led Palestinian resistance launched the ‘Al-Aqsa Storm Operation.’

Yemen has vowed more attacks against the illegitimate entity if its war on the besieged territory continues, announcing that it already fired drones and ballistic missiles in three separate operations.

Hajar said the Yemeni people have held massive marches in recent weeks in different parts of the country condemning the Israeli regime’s horrendous war crimes and urging the Yemeni leadership to take action to support the Palestinian people and avenge Israeli atrocities.

This support encouraged the leadership of Yemen to defy the US threats and take action to defend the Palestinian people, he told the Press TV website.

Hajar said the Yemeni people are staunch supporters of Palestine as they have experienced such aggression at the hands of the coalition of the US, Saudi Arabia and the UAE for years.

“It has become clear to the people of Yemen that the aggression against Yemen since 2015 has been carried out with the support of Israel and for the interests of this regime,” he remarked.
