A statement issued by the rally emphasized that Yemenis’ participation today is grounded in Islamic, ethical, and moral duty, aimed at honor, success, and salvation in this world and the Hereafter. It is a jihad in Allah's sake, carrying the banner of Islam against the modern-day tyrants—the Jews, Zionists, Americans, and their allies—as their ancestors, the early Ansar, once did. The event also commemorates Al-Furqan Day (Battle of Badr).
The statement reaffirmed Yemen’s stance with the Muslim Iranian people and its Islamic system, announcing full readiness to face any developments, and reiterated continued support for the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and all free nations.
It blessed the Islamic Ummah on the occasion of the Battle of Badr, highlighting this key moment in history as a reminder that the triumph of truth is inevitable, regardless of material limitations, over falsehood, no matter how powerful.
The statement continued: “On this great occasion, we renew our covenant with Allah, His Messenger, and our leader, pledging to remain steadfast on the path of jihad in the cause of God, offering our lives and wealth in obedience to Him, trusting in His definite promise of victory.”
It reaffirmed Yemen’s principled and ethical stance against global Zionism, its corrupt instruments—the United States, the Zionist enemy, and Western regimes—and against all hypocrites, committing to prepare day and night in all fields to confront and defeat them by Allah's will.
The statement echoed al-Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Houthi’s speech yesterday, emphasizing: “We are fully prepared, our hands on the trigger regarding military escalation and operations at any moment that developments require. We consider this the battle of the entire Ummah against the Grand Israeli Plan, which seeks to impose obedience to Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir, turning us into their slaves, Allah forbid.”
It continued: “We confirm we are in an open war with them. We stand with the steadfast Muslim Iranian people, their Islamic system, army, and heroic Revolutionary Guards, as well as with the jihadist Hezbollah, who are fighting the Ummah’s battle on behalf of everyone.”
The statement praised the great heroism and devastating strikes carried out against the Zionist enemy and American bases in the region, as well as the effective operations of the Iraqi resistance.
It called on Arab and Islamic regimes that allowed enemies into their lands to repent for this crime and their loyalty to the enemies, which Allah forbade in His Holy Book, urging the expulsion of these bases from Muslim lands, as they have become a burden and a lasting shame.
The statement condemned American and Zionist attacks targeting civilian sites in the region, often deceptively, to draw them into fighting under the banner of Zionist war criminals Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and their allies, warning them against participating in such disgraceful crimes that will certainly not benefit them.
Finally, it called on the Ummah’s peoples to remain vigilant, aware of the dangers, and to act decisively, relying on Allah and confident in His promise of victory for the faithful.
