Hamas envoy thanks Yemenis over support, love for Palestine

The representative of Hamas in Yemen has expressed gratitude to the Yemeni people and government for supporting the Palestinian cause, almost a month after a military confrontation broke out between resistance groups in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli regime which martyred over 250 people in the besieged enclave.

“We feel brotherhood and comfort in Yemen, and this indicates the Yemeni people’s love for Palestine and al-Aqsa Mosque,” Moaz Abu Shamala said during a meeting with Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, in Sana’a.

Abu Shamala pointed out that all signs confirm the resistance as the right way to liberate occupied Palestine, Yemen Press Agency reported.

He also conveyed the Hamas leadership’s greetings to the Yemeni leadership.

For his part, al-Houthi reaffirmed the Yemeni people’s resolve to support the Palestinian cause in response to a call by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the Leader of Yemen’s popular Ansarullah Movement.

He underlined that protecting Palestine is the most important issue and the first step in defending the Palestinian nation and its dignity.

Al-Houthi also told the Hamas representative to convey his warmest regards to the Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh.

At the end of the meeting, Abu Shamala gave the honorary award of Hamas to al-Houthi, in appreciation of his role in supporting the Palestinian people.

The meeting came days after the leader of the Ansarullah Movement called on Muslim nations to join hands in order to remove the Israeli regime from the Palestinian territories of the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds.

In a televised address on Thursday, al-Houthi called for the total boycott of Israel and slammed some Arab states over the so-called normalization deals with the regime, saying, “Those who collaborate with the United States and Israel are committing crimes against the peoples of the region.”
