Support for Ceasefire in Lebanon

The PLC welcomed the announcement of a ceasefire that took effect in Lebanon early Wednesday. The council expressed hope that this agreement would lead to a comprehensive halt of Israeli aggression and usher in a new era where Lebanese citizens can focus on building a fully sovereign national state, free from the control of armed militias.

Yemen’s Stance on Regional Aggression

The council reaffirmed Yemen’s position against the brutal Israeli aggression on Lebanese and Palestinian territories. It reiterated its support for Lebanese sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, and the empowerment of the Lebanese army to maintain control over its national territory. The PLC emphasized the importance of resisting expansionist projects within the region.

This meeting highlights the PLC’s commitment to addressing pressing national issues while also engaging with broader regional dynamics.
