The Republic of Yemen called on the international community, represented by the United Nations and the Security Council, to assume its responsibilities regarding the Israeli occupation’s aggression and the crimes and massacres it commits against civilians in the Gaza Strip in occupied Palestine.

The Republic stressed - in its statement during the United Nations General Assembly meeting, today, on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, which was delivered by the Permanent Representative of Yemen to the United Nations, Ambassador Abdullah Al-Saadi - the necessity of working to establish an immediate ceasefire to save lives among civilians and avoid... Committing more horrific massacres against women and children.

The statement published by the official Saba Agency stressed that issuing decisions and statements is no longer sufficient, and that this human tragedy will remain a disgrace on the forehead of everyone who participated in it, supported it, or remained silent about it, regardless of the justifications.

He renewed Yemen's condemnation, in the strongest terms, of the brutal barbaric aggression by the Israeli occupation against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, and its targeting of relief and humanitarian workers, medical personnel, ambulance crews, and relief facilities.

The statement said, “The barbaric aggression by Israel, the occupying power, against the Gaza Strip, targeting civilians, infrastructure, and hospitals, half of which was completely out of service due to the Israeli bombing, preventing the entry of fuel, food, and medicine, targeting places of worship, churches, and schools, destroying buildings to their occupants, and killing families.” It is not entirely self-defense, but war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, and what is happening today is not a humanitarian crisis, but a crisis in humanity and the human conscience and the embodiment of double standards.”

The statement indicated that Yemen refuses to portray that the aggression taking place is nothing but a reaction to what happened on October 7, considering that to be a reversal of the truth and a deviance from the facts of history and the facts that the Palestinian people witnessed over 75 years of occupation, during which they were subjected to persecution, killing and collective punishment. Displacement, arrest, displacement, confiscation of its lands and property, and construction of settlements in light of the silence of the international community, which failed to implement humanitarian, moral and legal values, and the failure and abject inability that afflicted and continues to afflict the Security Council in implementing its resolutions related to this conflict in the region.

He said, "It is unfortunate that this Council remains incapable for a period of more than 44 days from the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and its failure to carry out its responsibilities in accordance with the United Nations Charter to maintain international peace and security, especially after the Israeli war entered a new turn with the deterioration and exacerbation of the humanitarian situation and the killing." And destruction and massacres, and after the number of civilian deaths exceeded more than 12,000 dead, including more than 5,000 thousand children and more than 3,500 women, in addition to more than 30,000 thousand wounded, and more than 4,000 are still under the rubble, and what is happening in Gaza must not be isolated from those massacres. committed by the Israeli occupation forces in the West Bank, and we remember the UNRWA employees who were killed as a result of the Israeli bombing while performing their humanitarian duty, and their number exceeded 100 killed.”

The statement added, “The Security Council’s adoption of Resolution 2712, which calls for a temporary humanitarian truce, which Israel rejected immediately after its adoption, will not lead to the protection of civilians, because those to whom aid is provided today are civilians in the Gaza Strip, if Israel allows them to do so, their lives remain threatened.” With danger and death, they are killed the next day in light of the continued barbaric and brutal Israeli aggression.

He pointed out that there is no safe place in Gaza, neither in northern nor southern Gaza, and the Israeli occupation forces are arresting and detaining civilians fleeing south and committing acts of violence that are inconsistent with moral and humanitarian standards and values.
