Yemen Reaffirms Commitment to Arab Unity and Palestinian Rights

President Alimi Addresses Arab Summit in Baghdad

President Dr. Rashad Mohammed Alimi, head of the Presidential Leadership Council of Yemen, reaffirmed the country’s unwavering commitment to Arab principles, particularly the Palestinian cause. He emphasized the right of the Palestinian people to freedom and independence, calling for an end to Israeli occupation and the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state in accordance with international law and the Arab Peace Initiative.

Yemen’s Historical Role in Arab Solidarity

In his speech at the Arab Summit in Baghdad, President Alimi stated that Yemen has historically served as a steadfast supporter of Arab issues. He pledged that Yemen would continue to be a vital partner in safeguarding Arab national security and defending the region’s interests.

Urgent Call for Collective Action

President Alimi highlighted the extraordinary circumstances and challenges facing the Arab region. He urged leaders to transform summit resolutions into concrete actions, advocating for a more serious approach to solidarity and the deterrence of shared terrorist threats.

Addressing External Interference

The President pointed out that external interventions in Arab affairs pose significant threats. He condemned attempts to fragment national states and undermine legitimate institutions through rogue terrorist groups. These groups prioritize their narrow interests over the collective security of the Arab nation.

Yemen’s Ongoing Struggle Against Houthi Militias

Alimi discussed the existential battle that the Yemeni people have faced for over a decade against the Iranian-backed Houthi militia. He expressed the determination of the Yemeni people to end their suffering and dismantle this cross-border agenda.

Support for International Efforts

The President reiterated Yemen’s commitment to exhausting all efforts to persuade the Houthi group to abandon its divisive ideology and respond to the will of the people and international resolutions. He asserted that the militia’s actions have solidified the belief that they represent a persistent threat to global peace and security.

Gratitude for Regional Allies

President Alimi expressed profound gratitude to the coalition supporting legitimacy, led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. He acknowledged their role in bolstering the resilience of the Yemeni people and alleviating their humanitarian suffering over the years.

Expectations for Strong Decisions

Looking ahead, Alimi expressed hope that the summit would yield decisive resolutions to enhance this resilience and deter militia aggression. He called for the strict implementation of the Arab League’s decision to classify the Houthi militia as a foreign terrorist organization.

Collective Commitment to Peace

A united stance on this classification would reaffirm the commitment of Arab states to the charters of the Arab League and the United Nations. It would also send a strong message to all militias challenging national sovereignty over arms and decisions of war and peace.

Path to Economic Recovery and Stability

President Alimi expressed his desire for the summit, alongside the concurrent economic summit, to launch collective initiatives aimed at aiding war-torn populations and supporting their economic recovery. He emphasized that rebuilding institutions is essential for combating terrorism and achieving lasting peace.

Recognition of Syria’s Progress

The President congratulated the Syrian Arab Republic on the recent lifting of sanctions, thanking Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for this historic achievement.

Conclusion: Yemen’s Commitment to Arab Unity

In closing, President Alimi reaffirmed Yemen’s commitment to Arab principles despite the ongoing challenges of war. He expressed confidence that Yemen would continue to be a loyal supporter of Arab causes and a proactive partner in ensuring regional security.

Final Remarks

President Alimi concluded his address by thanking President Abdul Latif Rashid of Iraq for the summit’s organization and wishing for its success. He extended his greetings to all attendees, emphasizing the importance of unity and collaboration in overcoming regional challenges.
