Sanaa Renews Pledge to Palestine: A Momentum of Faith and Jihad Affirms Yemen’s Steadfast Position and Readiness for the Next Round
In an extraordinary scene that encapsulates the awareness and steadfastness of the Yemeni people, millions gathered in Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sanaa, answering the call of Palestine and responding to the invitation of the leader of the revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, raising the slogan: “In response to and in support of the Palestinian people… We are steadfast and ready for the next round.” This massive turnout reaffirmed that Yemen, with its free will, is present at the heart of the nation’s struggle, and that supporting Gaza is not a fleeting event, but a firm stance that is renewed with every stage.
Al-Sabeen Square: The Beating Heart of Yemen
From every corner of the country, crowds converged on Al-Sabeen Square, waving Yemeni and Palestinian flags, banners denouncing the enemies of God, and images of the Holy Quran. This massive demonstration expressed a unified stance and profound awareness, embodying the fact that Yemen—despite the siege and aggression—remains steadfast in its commitment to dignity and honor, unwavering in its choice of jihad and supporting the oppressed.
The millions gathered reaffirmed their pledge to uphold their principled position in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters until the promised victory and the demise of the criminal Zionist entity.
They also declared their full solidarity with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Lebanon in confronting American and Zionist tyranny and their expansionist and destructive projects targeting all the peoples of the nation.
Readiness for the Next Round
The march carried a clear and unequivocal message: a state of high alert and readiness to engage in the next round of confrontation with the Israeli enemy and its allies and partners. This message reaffirms the equation of popular and military deterrence, emphasizing that any renewed aggression will be met with stronger support and unwavering resolve.
The crowds condemned the ongoing crimes of the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people and its violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and other holy sites, amidst global silence and Arab and Islamic inaction. They called upon the peoples of the nation to break the wall of silence and take action to confront American-Zionist arrogance and thwart its dangerous schemes that target everyone.
The chants… a roar of popular consciousness
The squares resounded with chants expressing anger, mobilization, and loyalty, and the Yemenis’ yearning to punish and deter the enemy. Among the most prominent were:
“With Gaza, the Yemen of the honorable… anger, mobilization, and loyalty,” “With Gaza, our first stance… unwavering, unchanging,” “We are ready and eager… and we are quick to support you,” “If Zionism continues its aggression… support will return with force,” “Yemen of wisdom and faith… with Iran, with Lebanon,” “O all Muslim peoples… silence is complicity in crime,” “Jihad, Jihad… long live Jihad,” “O Gaza, O Palestine… all Yemenis are with you.” These chants encapsulated Yemen’s steadfast message and solidified its presence in supporting all the peoples of the nation subjected to aggression.

The March Statement: A Principled and Unwavering Stance
The statement issued by the March, read by the Supreme Political Council Advisor, Sheikh Muhammad An’am, clarified that the million-strong demonstration stems from faith in God, striving in His cause, seeking His pleasure, responding to the call of the resistance fighters in Palestine, showing solidarity with Iran and Lebanon, and preparing for the next round of confrontation with the Israeli enemy and its allies.
The statement affirmed the steadfastness of the principled and unwavering stance in support of the Palestinian people and their resistance fighters, in light of the crimes of murder, siege, displacement, destruction, kidnapping, and torture of prisoners, all with American and Western support, despite agreements that the enemy has failed to uphold since their inception.
Exposing the Zionist-American Projects

Trust in God’s Victory and Strengthening the Factors of Strength
The statement emphasized redoubling efforts to strengthen the factors of strength, resilience, awareness, and general mobilization, and to protect the home front from any infiltration, with absolute trust in God’s victory, and that He, the Exalted, will stand with the believers as they confront the most tyrannical oppressor known to humankind.
The march included a poem by the poet Saqr al-Lahji and a choral operetta by the Ansar Allah group entitled “Building and Preparing,” which embodied the cultural and mobilization dimensions accompanying the popular movement and reinforced the meanings of preparation and steadfastness.
The September 21 Revolution: A Free Decision and Continued Momentum
This massive popular movement cannot be understood in isolation from the glorious September 21 Revolution, which liberated Yemeni decision-making, freed the country from the shackles of American and Gulf subservience, and solidified Quranic awareness and faith-based identity. It served as the cradle for this conscious and supportive popular presence in support of Gaza and Palestine, and in backing the axis of jihad and resistance.
A Stance Reflecting an Irreversible Path
With its awe-inspiring million-strong demonstration, Sana’a renewed its pledge to Palestine and clearly declared its complete readiness for all future rounds and stages. This stance embodies the awareness of a people who have decided to stand where they must: on the side of truth, supporting the oppressed, and in the trenches confronting the forces of tyranny and arrogance. A position that expresses an irreversible path and an uncompromising choice, which Yemen is pursuing with steadfastness and faith, unconcerned by the threats and conspiracies of the enemies, until God’s promise is fulfilled and victory is written for Palestine and the free people of the nation.
