Yemen, in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The gathering condemned the ongoing Israeli actions in Gaza and expressed support for international calls to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant.
A statement from the rally, shared with Barran Press, praised international decisions calling for the arrest of Netanyahu and Gallant in connection with war crimes and genocide, asserting that these resolutions mark a significant milestone in the pursuit of international justice.
The statement highlighted that such political decisions would place the Israeli occupation in unprecedented diplomatic challenges, potentially isolating its leaders further and prompting their international allies to reconsider their political and humanitarian stances regarding the ongoing atrocities.
On a humanitarian level, the decision was framed as a fundamental victory for the Palestinian cause, conveying a message that crimes against humanity do not fade over time. It inspires hope among nations that international justice can break the long-standing impunity enjoyed by high-profile figures.
The rally’s participants condemned the systematic killings and deliberate destruction faced by Palestinians, describing the scenes of violence as horrendous and a testament to unprecedented brutality against an unarmed population. The statement characterized these actions as a "flagrant violation of international conventions and a stain on humanity," emphasizing that they reflect a long history of occupation and aggression aimed at breaking the will of a resilient people.
The participants called on the Arab and Islamic worlds to fulfill their historical, religious, and moral responsibilities in supporting the Palestinian people through all available means, especially in light of the International Criminal Court's historic ruling against the leaders of what they termed the terrorist entity.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with the unwavering support of the United States, has been accused of committing genocide in Gaza, resulting in over 145,000 Palestinian casualties, most of whom are women and children, along with more than 10,000 missing. The ongoing devastation has led to severe humanitarian crises, including starvation affecting countless children and the elderly.
Despite a United Nations Security Council resolution calling for an immediate end to these actions, Israel continues its operations, ignoring directives from the International Court of Justice to take measures against genocide and improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
