With or without ceasefire, Islamic Ummah will never abandon Palestine: Yemeni official
The secretary of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council says Muslim nations and their resistance groups will continue to stand by Palestine whether or not a ceasefire like the one in place in Lebanon ends Israel's ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Yasser al-Houri made the remarks in an interview with Iran's official news agency IRNA on Thursday, a day after a truce deal took effect between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah resistance movement following more than 14 months of fighting.
"There is hope that if the ceasefire in Lebanon is successful, a ceasefire will also be established in the Gaza Strip; Even if it does not come true, the Islamic Ummah, led by the Axis of Resistance, will never abandon Palestine," he said.
"The Axis of Resistance will do its best to keep supporting Palestine directly and indirectly, through military and civilian means."
The Yemeni official also stressed that the Resistance Front presses ahead with its plan to confront the enemy and that it changes its tactics based on political and battlefield developments.
He further noted that the disintegration of the Axis of Resistance in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, and Palestine is impossible.
In early October 2023, Israel waged brutal two-front aggressions that have killed tens of thousands of civilians and several resistance leaders in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon.
In September, the regime assassinated Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in a strike on southern Beirut.
Houri said before and after Nasrallah's martyrdom, resistance fighters rejected all "tempting offers" to leave the Palestinian people alone, and fired thousands of missiles deep in the occupied territories proving the failure of American and Israeli air defense systems.
Meanwhile, the Yemeni official described the ceasefire in Lebanon as a "great victory" for Hezbollah.
The victory is the result of Hezbollah's "unparalleled resilience and steadfastness" in a battle, during which the Zionist enemy, along with the United States, used all their new equipment, he added.
However, the martyrdom and injuring of hundreds of resistance fighters and civilians in Israel's acts of terror and aggression failed to bring the Lebanese nation to its knees, he added.
