Member of the Supreme Political Council, Sultan Al-Sami, blessed the Al-Aqsa Flood operation carried out by the Palestinian resistance movements.

In a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Supreme Political Member al-Sami’i considered Operation Al-Aqsa Flood to be the decisive response and the voice rejecting all the Zionist occupation’s attacks, describing it as “one of days of Allah in history of the Arab and Islamic nation.”

He said: Gaza is now achieving the victory that every free person has long awaited, and is disciplining the enemy whose violations have wreaked havoc on the land.

He added that the Al-Aqsa Flood operation confirms to the normalizers that the Zionist entity is unable to protect itself against the heroic mujahideen in Palestine, so how can protect them?

Al-Sami pointed out that the support marches witnessed in Sana’a and some governorates for the Al-Aqsa flood confirm the unity of the issue.
