The Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the international silence towards the war crimes and genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people in Gaza, which are escalating daily, the latest of which is the threat to commit a massacre against the displaced in Rafah city.

In a statement, a copy of which was received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered the massacres and genocidal war committed by the Zionist entity an infringement and blatant challenge to the international legislative system, especially international law, international humanitarian law, the purposes of the United Nations Charter, and the decisions of the International Court of Justice, which will bring the world into conflict legal chaos and will cause many wars to ignite in different regions of the world, with a cover similar to what is currently happening in Gaza.

The statement stressed the steadfastness of Sana’a’s humanitarian and moral position towards supporting Palestinian
civilians in Gaza Strip and its continued imposition of the naval blockade on the Zionist entity and targeting its military capabilities and installations until the aggression stops and humanitarian, food, medicine and fuel aid enters Gaza Strip without any obstacles.

The Ministry also affirmed freedom of international maritime navigation in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, with the exception of ships heading to the Zionist entity or occupied Palestinian ports.

It renewed its warning to the Zionist entity against a major escalation in the Yemeni response to its attacks in Rafah and the transfer of the military scene to higher and more painful levels for Tel Aviv.

The Ministry called on the Organization of the Islamic Conference, the Non-Aligned Movement and the free people of the world to take a strong humanitarian and moral stance to pressure the countries supporting the Zionist entity to stop their unlimited military, political, material and logistical support, in light of the continued failure of the Se
curity Council to carry out its responsibilities.
