Why it matters:
The rallies signal deepening regional solidarity with Gaza amid an escalating humanitarian crisis. With participation across 14 governorates and strong remarks from Ansarullah leaders, the protests amplify calls to end Israel’s blockade and challenge Western complicity, pressuring global actors to respond to growing grassroots outrage.
The big picture
Yemen’s mobilization reflects a broader shift in public opinion in West Asia. As Gaza’s crisis worsens, such movements may reshape regional alliances, embolden anti-Israel narratives, and intensify demands for accountability from global powers backing the ّIsraeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
What happened:
The rallies were organized by Yemen's Ansarullah movement, whose officials spoke at the event and reaffirmed their support for Gaza.
Demonstrators condemned what they called the “Zionist-American conspiracy” and vowed to stand with Palestinians “until victory.”
The movement aimed to send a message to the international community about ending oppression and upholding Palestinian rights.
What they’re saying
In a statement titled “Rejecting the Zionist-American Conspiracy and Standing with Gaza Until Victory,” organizers said their faith-based commitment grows stronger as global conspiracies intensify.
“We become more convinced of our position the more the enemy plots,” the statement read.
It described U.S. and Israeli leadership as “faces of the same criminal system,” and called on Arab nations to reject submission and take action.
