Deputy Chief of the General Staff – Head of the National Team in the Redeployment Committee, Major General Ali Hamoud Al-Mushki, stressed that the opening of roads should be through bilateral meetings and guarantees, not media propaganda that does not serve the interests of the people.

During a meeting between the national team in the Redeployment Coordination Committee and the Hodeidah Agreement Support Mission on Tuesday, Al-Mushki pointed out that peace is not in the interest of mercenaries because they live on the suffering of the Yemeni people and obstruct our efforts to end the aggression and address its effects.

He explained that 85 percent of the population lives under the authority of the Supreme Political Council and the blocking of roads is an aggressive policy aimed at besieging them.

“We support opening all roads for the interests of the people and not selective roads for the purpose of media propaganda only, as mercenaries do,” he said.

“We opened two roads in Hodeidah under the supervision
of the United Nations, and their outlets were occupied by UAE mercenaries,” Major General al-Mushki said.

For his part, the head of the United Nations Mission to Support the Hodeidah Agreement, General Michael Perry, pointed out that the ports of Hodeidah are free of weapons and provide basic and humanitarian services despite the recent developments in the Red Sea.

He explained that the field teams confirm that there are no military manifestations in the port of Ras Issa, contrary to the claims of some media outlets. “We have seen the Sanaa government seeking to bring peace to Yemen through all the efforts it provides to the United Nations,” he said.

Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Qadri, a member of the national team in the redeployment committee, said, “We expect the UN mission to implement quick-impact projects in the southern districts as it started in the areas of the other side.”

Mines and remnants of war kill people on an almost daily basis, he said, and the United Nations has not provided anything to demini
ng teams to date.

“We support peace, addressing the effects of aggression, opening roads and normalizing life in all regions of the Republic of Yemen,” Major General al-Qadri said

The next will be more painful, surpassing all the anticipations in naval confrontations, Sana’a defense minister said on Tuesday in a new warning for the Americans and Brits.

The evil trio – America, Britain and Israel – need to understand well the speech of Leader Abdulmalek al-Houthi and take it seriously, as his words are acts to be done without delay, General Mohamed al-Atifi added at meeting with morale guidance officers in Hodeida brigades.

The US-UK criminal aggression on Yemen comes in reprisal to the stance adopted by Yemeni and its armed forces in support of the Palestinian people and their brave resistance in Gaza, Atifi said.

If Washington and Lond
on think they are concerned to guard Zionist brutality, “we’ve – based on religion and human and moral values – to stand up with our brethren in Palestine, who are subject to genocide before the very eye of a dumb, colluding international community.

“We’ll lie in wait for every Zionist, American or British vessel trying to violate the ban we imposed on these ship’s traffic in the Red and Arab seas, until they quit their brutality,” he warned.

The shortest solution is through Zionist halt of crimes against the sieged people in Gaza and other Palestinian territories, the minister argued.

The head of the national negotiating delegation, Mohammed Abdulsalam, reiterated Yemen’s firm position alongside Gaza.

Mohammed Abdulsalam said in a tweet via the “X” platform after 150 days, and with the beginning of the sixth month, Gaza has endured what the Rawasi mountains cannot bear, and every drop of Palestinian blood represents a disgrace to America for its continuous support for the Israeli criminal entity.

“A week away from the holy month of Ramadan, we call on this nation, peoples and regimes, to realize their responsibility towards Gaza, and to realize that supporting them by all means of steadfastness and pressure on the enemy to stop his brutal crimes is more important to God than all other prayers and fasting,” he added.

Abdulsalam blessed the calls of the Palestinian factions for the month of Ramadan to be the month of alarm in support of Gaza. He stressed that it is shameful for the nation to fill its papers with various delicacies of food and Gaza for five months starving and thirsty.

He
continued, “We raise our voice loudly with all the free people of the world and say stop your aggression, O Zionists, and lift your siege on Gaza, enough madness, and do not be tempted by the support of America and other countries, the steadfastness of Gaza for so long proved that the Palestinian people, thanks to God Almighty, are unbreakable and will not abandon their cause, no matter how great the sacrifices.”
