Yemen Hosts Global Summit on Palestine, Firmly Opposes Displacement Plans for Palestinians

On Sunday, a significant virtual international conference titled “Palestine: From the Nakba to the Flood – The Importance of the Role of the Palestinian Resistance in Preventing Displacement” took place in Sana’a. This important gathering gathered officials, diplomats, and over 50 researchers and academics from various countries to discuss the ongoing challenges faced by the Palestinian people.

The conference saw participation from notable figures, including the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Ismail Al-Mutawakel, and the head of the National Team for External Communication, Ambassador Dr. Ahmed Al-Imad. In addition, representatives from Palestinian parties, organizations, political factions, and others were in attendance.

During the event, Daifuallah al-Shami, a member of the Supreme Committee for Supporting Al-Aqsa, emphasized the conference’s significance in addressing the escalating Arab-Israeli conflict. He highlighted the enduring legacy of martyr leader Sayyed Hussein Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, who prioritized the issue of Quds since 2001, as well as the continued advocacy by his brother, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi, who consistently raises this issue in his speeches, calling for jihad with resources, words, and commitment.

Al-Shami also provided a historical overview of the conflict, tracing its roots back to the first Zionist conference held in Basel, Switzerland, in August 1897, led by Theodor Herzl, who advocated for establishing a national homeland for Jews.

Moreover, Al-Shami stressed the importance of Yemen’s position in supporting Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, emphasizing the strategic blockade of essential waterways such as the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, Arabian Sea, and Indian Ocean to hinder Israeli navigation, including ships destined for occupied Palestinian ports.

Meanwhile, Moaz Abu Shamala, the Hamas representative in Sana’a, pointed out the Zionist regime’s delay in fulfilling the ceasefire agreement, which he argued exploits the humanitarian crisis in Gaza to gain advantages that eluded them during the conflict, including displacing Palestinians from their land.

Abu Shamala accused the Zionist enemy of obstructing humanitarian aid access to Gaza while under the scrutiny of the international community, with apparent support from the United States. He reaffirmed Hamas’s commitment to Palestinian unity and its opposition to the presence of foreign forces in Gaza.

He urged attendees to voice their rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank, which he believes aims to strengthen enemy control over Al-Aqsa Mosque and Palestinian territories. Additionally, he called for continued delivery of relief supplies to the suffering Palestinian populace and for active participation in the reconstruction efforts of the Gaza Strip.

The conference also engaged academics, researchers, activists, human rights advocates, and politicians from around the globe, all of whom emphasized the necessity of supporting the Palestinians’ legitimate right to a sovereign state with Al-Quds as its capital. They stood firmly against any plans aimed at forcibly displacing the Palestinian people.

  • The panellists condemned the deteriorating humanitarian conditions faced by individuals in Gaza, the West Bank, Al-Quds, and other Palestinian regions.
  • They called for unified efforts to bolster the steadfastness of the Palestinian people and support their resistance.
  • There was a collective appeal to the international community to uphold its obligation to safeguard the Palestinian people’s rights and their right to return to their homeland.
  • Participants emphasized the importance of uniting the voices of global activists and rejecting U.S. plans for the forced displacement of Palestinians.
  • The need to strengthen the Palestinian resistance movement was highlighted as a crucial measure to confront the ethnic cleansing and apartheid policies of the Zionist entity.

The discussions also praised the initiatives of the Yemeni armed forces under the slogan “You Are Not Alone,” which coincided with massive marches, fundraising efforts, and the graduation of over one million mobilization trainees aimed at supporting the Palestinian cause.

This virtual conference not only served as a platform to address immediate issues but also aimed to foster solidarity among nations and organizations committed to the Palestinian struggle. The call to action resonated deeply among participants, reflecting a shared commitment to advocating for Palestinian rights and sovereignty in the face of ongoing challenges.
