On Friday, Sana’a’s Al-Sabeen Square was packed with massive crowds that exceeded all expectations, in a million-strong demonstration expressing public outrage over the crimes committed in Gaza and reaffirming the central place of the Palestinian cause in the Yemeni conscience.
The demonstration — described by observers as the largest in Yemen’s history — marked a pivotal moment, not only in terms of the size of the crowd but also through the powerful political, religious, and humanitarian messages it conveyed. These messages affirmed the unity of the Yemeni stance — people and leadership — regarding what is happening in the besieged Gaza Strip.
This event came after more than 90 previous demonstrations held in the capital, but according to observers, it surpassed them all in size, momentum, and impact.
The march coincided with the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, driven by the continued Israeli aggression and accompanied by an Arab and international silence widely interpreted as an implicit cover for genocide.
The banners and chants in Sana’a reflected this reality, affirming that standing with Palestine is not a fleeting political position, but a deeply rooted moral and ideological commitment.
“Yemen stands with Gaza not just with slogans, but with action if necessary” — such was the cry of the crowds, sending a direct message to the Palestinian resistance: “You are not alone in this battle.”
Amid the ongoing massacres in Gaza, participants in the demonstration pledged to continue their support in all forms, stressing that their position is firm and unwavering, and that the battle with the Israeli entity is a battle for the entire nation — not Palestine alone.
