Iraqi parliamentarian Hassan Al-Janabi described Yemen’s stance in support of Gaza as a “historic strategic shift,” noting that Sana’a succeeded in turning the conflict in favor of the Palestinian cause through exceptional steps that created unprecedented international pressure.

This came during his interview with “Arab Journal,” where he affirmed that the Yemeni maritime blockade on Israeli ships was the “decisive factor” in forcing the occupying entity to halt its aggression on Gaza.

Al-Janabi explained that disrupting Israeli shipping in the Red Sea not only weakened the economy of the Israeli entity but also forced it to accept the terms of Palestinian resistance. He added, “Despite its blockade, Yemen wrote a new chapter in the history of Arab struggle using simple tools that turned the balance of power.”

He pointed out that this blockade exposed the impotence of Arab regimes, which possess massive military arsenals but are incapable of mobilizing their people, even for symbolic solidarity.

In a striking revelation, the Iraqi MP disclosed details of what he called the “strategic defeat” of the Western coalition, stating that Yemeni forces under Sana’a inflicted heavy losses on the American and British fleets, achieving a military feat that reshaped the geopolitical map of the region.

He considered that these confrontations shattered the prestige of the great powers, while proving the Yemeni people’s ability to challenge the mightiest armies with unwavering will.

Al-Janabi sharply criticized the Arab countries, saying, “While Yemenis took up the weapon of their will to support Gaza, regimes that possess the latest aircraft were unable to organize a single solidarity march.”

He confirmed that Sana’a’s export of the model of popular resistance surpassed the impact of regular armies, considering that Yemen turned its blockade into a weapon, while Arab regimes turned their weapons into decorations.

These statements raise questions about the role of regional powers in the conflict, while recent shifts indicate that Sana’a has become a significant player in international equations, despite the internal and external challenges it faces.
