In an extraordinary meeting held on the shores of the Red Sea in the Fifth Military Region, Yemen’s armed forces and security convened to discuss the latest developments in the region and the escalating American-Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
The meeting included Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs and Minister of Finance Dr. Rashid Abu Luhum, Defense Minister Major General Mohammed Al-Atifi, Interior Minister Major General Abdul Karim Al-Houthi, Chief of Security and Intelligence Major General Abdul Hakim Al-Khiwani, Chief of General Staff Major General Mohammed Al-Ghamari, Commander of the Naval Forces Major General Mohammed Abdul Nabi, Commander of the Central Military Region Major General Abdul Khaliq Al-Houthi, Commander of the Fifth Military Region Major General Yusuf Al-Madani, Deputy Interior Minister Major General Abdul Majid Al-Murtada, Inspector General of the Ministry of Interior Major General Abdullah Al-Hadi, and Head of the Coast Guard Major General Shaher Al-Qahum.
The meeting affirmed the readiness of the armed forces and security to implement the directives of the revolution leader in his last speech and deter anyone who thinks of bending the Yemeni Republic from its firm and principled position towards the oppression of the Palestinian people.
Leaders of the armed forces and security discussed the options put forward in the face of tensions that the Americans are trying to stir up in the Red Sea to protect Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine. They warned America and its partners against the folly of militarizing the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and harming international navigation in service of the occupying Israeli entity.
The leaders reviewed the combat readiness of various military and security units and formations, land, sea, air, air defense, missile, and security, and the overall tasks assigned to them in this sensitive and pivotal stage.
In the meeting, Major General Mohammed Al-Atifi confirmed the readiness of the Yemeni armed forces with all its units and military formations to teach the enemies the harshest and strongest blows if their crimes and siege on the Palestinian people continue or if they think of tampering with the security and sovereignty of the Yemeni Republic.
He clarified that the Yemeni Republic has many strategic options that it will not hesitate to take when it is forced to do so. He stressed that the Yemeni position to stop the genocide crimes against the oppressed Palestinian people and lift the suffocating siege on them is a religious and moral position that is consistent with all humanitarian and international laws.
On his part, Major General Abdul Karim Al-Houthi confirmed that all security forces are in a state of general alert, high readiness, and full preparedness to perform their duty in cooperation and joint coordination with the armed forces to implement the directives of the revolution leader, Sayyid Abdul Malik Badr Al-Din Al-Houthi.
He pointed to the greatness of the faith positions of the Yemeni people as they represent the living conscience of all Arab and Islamic peoples and all the free people in the world demanding to stop the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian people and break the unjust siege on them.
The meeting was attended by the Governor of Hodeidah, Mohammed Qahim, and the Director of Security of the Governorate, Major General Aziz Al-Jaradi.
