Yemeni Parliament Condemns Global Silence over Gaza, Calls for Accountability
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Yemen’s parliament criticized the lack of response from Arab and Muslim nations to Israel’s crimes against Palestinians in Gaza, urging immediate action to halt the regime’s genocide in the besieged territory.
The legislative body, in a statement on Wednesday, appealed to Arab and Islamic parliaments to intervene and protect Palestinians from ongoing Israeli operations.
It highlighted the toll of over 45,000 deaths and 107,000 injuries among Palestinians during the Israeli war spanning more than 440 days.
The parliament also demanded accountability for Israeli “war criminals” responsible for atrocities against Palestinians.
It condemned recent comments by Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar, who suggested labeling Palestinian supporters as terrorists, countering that true terrorism is reflected in the actions of the Israeli regime against civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
The statement reaffirmed Yemen's commitment to safeguarding its unity, security, and sovereignty through all available means, emphasizing its readiness to repel foreign aggression.
The parliament urged Yemenis to remain united and vigilant in resisting any threats to the country’s stability.
It further denounced ongoing American, British, and Israeli attacks on Yemen, calling these actions violations of international law and United Nations Security Council resolutions, which it said undermine global peace and security.
Since October last year, when Israel launched its Gaza offensive, Yemen’s forces have intensified support for Palestinian resistance, targeting Israeli vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
Yemeni armed forces have also conducted missile and drone strikes on Israeli-occupied territories, including Tel Aviv, vowing continued operations as long as Gaza remains under attack.
The US has played a direct role in the escalation of the conflict in Yemen by sending B-2 stealth bombers to support Israel. The United States, United Kingdom, and Israel have previously launched attacks in order to stifle Sana'a's retaliatory actions.
