Resistance Factions Condemn US Aggression Against Yemen

Resistance factions released statements condemning the US aggression targeting Yemen due to its solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance. Below we publish a few statements:

Hezbollah:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Statement Issued by Hezbollah on the American-British Aggression Against Yemen

Hezbollah condemns the blatant American-British aggression against dear Yemen, which targeted residential neighborhoods in the capital, Sanaa, and several provinces, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of innocent civilians. This aggression is a desperate attempt to deter the steadfast Yemeni people from continuing their heroic support for the Palestinian people and their ongoing pressure to lift the unjust siege on Gaza and allow the entry of humanitarian aid and relief.

The targeting of civilians and vital facilities in Yemen once again reveals the true and ugly face of the American administration, which practices terrorism and bullying against nations that oppose its hegemonic policies in the region and the world. This barbaric attack constitutes a war crime and a blatant violation of international laws and norms. It aligns with the “israeli” aggression—backed by the United States—against Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and the region.

The steadfast Yemeni people, who have sacrificed their martyrs’ blood in epic battles to support the Palestinian cause and stand with besieged Gaza, will not retreat in the face of this cowardly aggression. With their wise and courageous leadership, they will continue their honorable role in defending the causes of the nation. This aggression will only strengthen their determination and steadfastness despite the ongoing oppressive siege.

We in Hezbollah reaffirm our full solidarity with dear and brave Yemen, its leadership, and its people. We call on all free nations of the world and all resistance forces in our region and beyond to unite and stand together against the American-zionist project that targets the countries and peoples of our nation. We also urge raising voices loud against the Arab and international silence and the failure of international institutions that have surrendered to the oppressive American administration.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The Popular Front condemns the brutal American aggression against Yemen and affirms that Yemen will remain a thorn in the throat of the aggressors.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine strongly condemns the large-scale American aggression against Yemen, affirming that it is an extension of the war crimes and genocide practiced by imperialism and zionism against our Arab peoples.

We express our full solidarity with our brothers in Yemen, extend our condolences to the martyrs who have fallen in this unjust aggression, and wish a speedy recovery to the heroic wounded. We affirm that the blood of these martyrs will remain a beacon of resilience and resistance, and it will not be in vain; rather, it will strengthen Yemen’s determination to confront aggression.

This barbaric aggression will not succeed in breaking the will of the free Yemeni people, who have never hesitated to support Palestine and have embraced the cause of Gaza despite the siege and aggression they themselves face.

He who stands with Yemen stands with Palestine and with the Arab right in confronting colonial and hegemonic projects, while he who abandons Yemen today is abandoning Palestine and all the causes of the nation.

We affirm that Yemen, which has been on the frontlines defending Arab dignity, will neither be defeated nor raise the white flag. It will remain a thorn in the throat of the aggressors.

We call on the masses of the nation and the free people of the world to take to the streets in support of Yemen, to reject this brutal aggression, and to emphasize that resistance is the only inevitable choice to thwart the aggressors’ plans, as the will of the people cannot be subdued by planes and missiles.

Glory to steadfast Yemen, victory to the resistance, and shame and disgrace to the American and zionist invaders and their collaborators.

Hamas:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

We in the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) strongly condemn the criminal American-British air aggression that targeted a residential neighborhood in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa. We consider it a blatant violation of international law and an attack on the sovereignty and stability of our brotherly Yemen.

We express our full solidarity with Yemen and the Yemeni people, and we highly value their blessed efforts in supporting the steadfastness of our Palestinian people in Gaza as they face a genocidal war that shames humanity.

Popular Resistance Committees:
We condemn the criminal American aggression against the Arab Republic of Yemen, which comes as part of the United States’ alignment with and defense of the zionist entity.

The American aggression against our brotherly Yemen is a response to the courageous and wise Arab stance of the Yemeni people and leadership in supporting and backing the Palestinian people in their confrontation with the zionist genocide and blockade, which has been imposed on our people in Gaza for 18 months with the support of successive criminal American administrations.

This American aggression will not succeed in breaking the strong and steadfast will of the Yemeni people in confronting the forces of zionist-American tyranny and arrogance. Yemen and its courageous, sincere leadership will remain a symbol of honor, chivalry, and true Arab-Islamic authenticity.

We pray for the souls of the heroic martyrs of Yemen, the land of dignity and pride, and we salute the Yemeni people and their principled leadership. We affirm that victory will be on Yemen’s side, as its resilience, steadfastness, and unwavering stance reflect the pulse of the entire nation.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

The Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine strongly condemns the blatant American aggression against Yemen, which constitutes a brazen act of support for the zionist entity and its crimes against our Palestinian people and the peoples of the region, particularly in Syria and Lebanon. This hostile attack comes in the context of protecting the zionist entity and targeting all those who stand with our Palestinian people in confronting the brutal crimes of the occupation.

We affirm our pride in Yemen’s honorable stance, which has embodied a genuine Arab and Islamic position in supporting Gaza and backing the Palestinian people and their resistance. We extend our salute to the Yemeni people and leadership for their steadfastness in the face of this colonial assault.

Indeed, it is jihad of victory or martyrdom.

Hamas has Rebuilt Forces to Over 25,000 Fighters

A group of Zionist Knesset members (MKs) said on 16 March that Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) have “restored their military strength” in Gaza and that the occupatiuon military has failed to achieve its war goals amid stalled ceasefire negotiations, Zionist newspaper Walla reported.

“In recent days, we have been informed that the military strength of Hamas and Islamic Jihad has been restored, such that Hamas has over 25,000 and Islamic Jihad has over 5,000 armed terrorists,” stated the Knesset members.

The MKs, including opposition members of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, made the claim in a petition they sent calling for an urgent committee hearing with the participation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and War Minister Israel Katz.

A committee hearing is necessary due to the “failure to achieve the war’s goals and the harm to security and national interests.”

MKs Gadi Eisenkot, Ram Ben Barak, Meir Cohen, Elazar Stern, Moshe Tor Paz, Sharon Nir, and Merv Michaeli signed the petition.

“In the past month, the ‘Israeli’ government has not fulfilled its responsibility as the supreme commander of the IDF, and is not advancing the war goals of returning the kidnapped and destroying Hamas’ military and governmental power,” the petition stated.

The MKs further claimed that Netanyahu and his ministers are acting in violation of war cabinet decisions to “realize the goal of returning the abductees” and to immediately conscript ultra-Orthodox Jewish men studying the Torah in religious schools known as Yeshivas.

Efforts to exchange Zionist captives in Gaza for Palestinians in occupation prisons have stalled in recent weeks, with the regime refusing to move to the next phase of a ceasefire agreement reached with the Palestinian resistance in January.

Late on Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Zionist negotiators to continue the negotiations based on a proposal by US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff that calls for the “immediate release of 11 living hostages and half of the deceased hostages.”

Earlier, Hamas said it was ready to accept a previous proposal from US envoy Adam Boehler, which called for the release of a living Zionist-US soldier, Edan Alexander, along with the bodies of four other dual-US citizens in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

After Boehler held direct talks with Hamas officials, occupation leaders became angry, and President Donald Trump removed him from his position.

Hamas is seeking a permanent end to the war, a complete Zionist withdrawal from Gaza, the reopening of border crossings for aid, and the release of Palestinian prisoners.

The regime is seeking to extend the first phase until mid-April and insists that any transition to the second phase must include “the total demilitarization” of Gaza.

Despite the existing ceasefire, the Zionist military continues to conduct near-daily air strikes in Gaza.

On Saturday, Zionist airstrikes in the city of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza killed nine people, including aid workers and Palestinian journalists. Four young Palestinian boys were killed by an Israeli drone strike while scavenging for firewood on Friday.

After the crossings closed, this is our situation. This is our suffering, which hasn't ended 😞🥹 The gas has run out, and I have to cook over a fire during Ramadan, which is very exhausting. The cost of a gas cylinder is sky-high. Everything has doubled in price 😥

"For me love is central to our survival as Palestinians": writes Yara Eid, in a beautiful opinion piece for The New Arab.

newarab.com/opinion/face-genoc

How can one give up hope in the face of the Israeli/American genocide if the victims do not? I will give a bit to a favorite charity I like of the Palestinian diaspora in Canada: Zatoun. It will be in honor of Rachel Corrie, who died this day 22 years ago in Gaza, rather than see a Gaza home razed uncontested by an Israeli bulldozer. #Palestine

The New Arab · In the face of genocide, we Palestinians teach love & resilienceYara Eid explains how the love for land & people gave Palestinians resilience amidst Israel’s genocide in Gaza. They have taught the world about humanity.

The U.S. envoy "Whitkoff" stated: "Hamas' response to our proposal is completely unacceptable. I advise #Hamas to be more rational and to observe what we are doing to the Houthis."

المبعوث الأمريكي "ويتكوف": رد حماس على مقترحنا غير مقبول إطلاقاً، وأنصح حماس أن تكون أكثر عقلانية وأن تُشاهد ما نفعله بالحوثيين.

"In effect, the promotion of Israel’s national narrative not only remains exempt from the wholesale attack on DEI, but it also functions as a weapon used to attack people and communities previously protected."

#Palestine / Israeli settler attack on Khirbet al-Marajem near , a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank

On Thursday night, March 14, 2025, dozens of armed Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian community of Khirbet al-Marajem near #Duma in the occupied West Bank, Nablus Governorate.

According to resident testimonies, approximately 40 settlers, some in uniform and armed, attacked around 11:30 PM. Three homes and one car were burned. Two Palestinian infants were removed from a home during the attack. The Israeli military was present but made no arrests. No casualties were reported, but homes were severely damaged.

The village is located near a new outpost called Gal Yosef, which was established after the war on land previously occupied by the al-Rashash community. That community was entirely displaced at the beginning of the war following settler violence.

"They broke the door, then set the whole house on fire with gasoline and beat family members." - Rashid

Duma's council head, Hussein Dawabsheh, noted this was "the latest in a series of criminal acts, with the support of the Israeli government and army."

The town has a painful history - in 2015, an arson attack by settlers killed three members of the Dawabsheh family, including a toddler (the Duma arson attack). Amiram Ben-Uliel was convicted of three counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, three counts of arson and conspiring to commit a racially motivated crime as part of a "terrorist act" and sentenced to life imprisonment.

A week before this attack, Rabbi Arik Ascherman was arrested and removed from the area for 15 days after trying to prevent settlers from taking a Palestinian sheep.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"The university was also told to begin the process of placing Columbia's world-renowned Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership. This process requires an outside chair, who could be appointed by the government, to run the department for five years. "

"Other demands listed by the White House include a mask ban on campus, giving "full law enforcement authority" to campus security by allowing them to "arrest and remove agitators", and reforming the admissions process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. "
