Yemen’s President Al-Mashat: Aggressors Delay Peace Plan, Yemeni Patience Will Not Last
Yemen’s President Mahdi Al-Mashat criticized the continued delays by the Saudi-led coalition and its US backers in implementing the truce and the agreed peace roadmap.
Speaking on the 11th anniversary of Yemen’s National Day of Resilience, Al-Mashat stressed that the Yemeni people’s patience “will not be without end” and that they will reclaim their rights by the means they deem appropriate.
Al-Mashat highlighted repeated opportunities for achieving genuine peace, noting that the coalition refuses to release public salaries and continues to enforce economic sanctions and blockades.
He called on Riyadh to act sincerely to meet the requirements of peace, including ending the aggression, lifting the siege, withdrawing foreign forces, and addressing issues of prisoners, reparations, and reconstruction.
The president praised the resilience and sacrifices of the Yemeni people over the past 11 years since the March 26, 2015,` aggression, considering the coalition’s campaign as “treacherous and devoid of all values,” targeting civilians, infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and places of worship.
He emphasized that Yemen has never posed a threat to any state and that the war was carried out at the urging of the Zionist entity and under US direction, as part of a broader plan linked to the so-called “Greater Israel” and “New Middle East” projects.
Al-Mashat lauded Yemen’s Armed Forces, security units, and tribes for defending the country and noted that their steadfastness has restored Yemen’s historical stature among nations.
He reaffirmed Yemen’s support for the Islamic Republic of Iran, emphasizing Iran’s right to self-defense against the US-Zionist aggression, and warned Arab and Islamic countries against aiding the implementation of the Zionist-American agenda.
Yemen has been under continuous foreign aggression since March 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition, backed by the United States, launched a military campaign aimed at toppling Yemen and controlling its strategic territory. The conflict has caused one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure, schools, hospitals, roads, ports, and economic lifelines, while millions of Yemenis have faced famine and displacement.
The coalition’s repeated failure to implement peace initiatives—including ceasefires, salary payments, and withdrawal of foreign forces—reflects its broader goal of consolidating influence rather than achieving genuine peace.
Yemen’s Armed Forces, allied tribes, and popular resistance have consistently defended the country, turning the conflict into a symbol of national resilience and resistance to foreign domination. The ongoing struggle underscores the region’s strategic importance, from the Bab al-Mandeb Strait to the Arabian Peninsula, and highlights Yemen’s role as a key actor aligned with the resistance axis in opposing US-Zionist ambitions.
