Wide Condemnation Over Saudi Claims About Medina as ‘New Desperate Fabrication’

Facing this moral, political, and military bankruptcy, the Yemeni people—popularly and officially—stand firm against the Saudi claims, affirming the right to respond to this heinous fabrication and to all those who align with the criminal Saudi regime.

The Shura Council issued a statement on Friday evening describing the Saudi claims as “flagrant fabrication and unparalleled political and moral bankruptcy.”

It affirmed that the repetition of these claims comes within the framework of the Saudi regime’s desperate attempts to mislead Islamic and international public opinion, cover up its failure and incapacity, and conceal its crimes and ongoing siege against the Yemeni people.

The Shura Council called on the peoples of the Islamic nation, its scholars, and all free people of the world to verify and not be drawn behind rumors and lies promoted by the aggression’s media, affirming that the Yemeni Armed Forces target legitimate military objectives in deterring the Saudi enemy and defending Yemen’s sovereignty, security, and independence.

The National Human Rights Commission considered the poisonous and bankrupt propaganda campaign promoted by the criminal Saudi regime and its paid media about Yemen targeting Mecca and Medina as a “moral, political, and religious fall.”

The Commission stressed in its statement that the whole world knows with certainty that Yemen is the only Arab and Islamic state that defended the first qibla and the third holiest site, standing firmly—leadership, people, and Armed Forces—in supporting the Palestinian people for two full years and still, defending Palestine “sanctities, land, and people.”

It noted that this proves the Saudi enemy’s moral, material, and legal partnership in acts of genocide—a crime of incitement and contempt for the suffering of a people under genocide. It asked: “Who betrayed the sanctities? Who closed their sky and land to supporting Al-Aqsa, and who opened them to the enemy’s aircraft?”

The Commission noted that Yemen was, is, and will remain the guardian of the faith and all sanctities across the earth, affirming that those who come out in millions in thousands of squares across the free Yemeni provinces from Saadah to Taiz in support of Quds cannot target Mecca and Medina.

It renewed the affirmation that the Saudi enemy’s desperate and exposed attempt came after the Saudi regime reached the highest degrees of religious, moral, and military bankruptcy. When it could not achieve a field victory on the fronts after the fall of its project on the western coast, it resorted to inventing its monstrous fabrication to win the hearts of Muslims.

The Ministry of Justice and Human Rights condemned in the strongest terms the Saudi regime’s continued fabrication of lies and false accusations against the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces, considering the Saudi regime’s resort to the “Islamic sanctities” card as “the peak of political and moral bankruptcy” and a desperate attempt to beg for sympathy and mislead Arab and Islamic public opinion to cover up its persistent crimes and unjust siege against millions of civilians in Yemen.

Regarding the legal and rights path of the claims, the Ministry of Justice affirmed that the defensive and deterrent operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces are based on all laws, including international law and the UN Charter’s “right of self-defense,” and are subject to strict military and legal controls that limit the target bank to purely military bases and facilities and logistical and economic centers that fund the aggressive war machine and manage the siege operations against the Yemeni people.

It noted that civilian objects and religious sentiments were never within the circle of targeting, based on a faith-based creed and a unifying Yemeni identity that venerates and defends the sanctities.

The Ministry of Justice concluded its statement by affirming that the Yemeni people’s right to deterrence and breaking the unjust siege is an inherent and established right in divine laws and contemporary international laws, and that the only way to establish peace and stability in the region is a comprehensive cessation of aggression, the complete lifting of the siege on Yemeni ports and airports, and an end to all forms of occupation and interference in Yemen’s internal affairs.

The Nasserist Popular Correction Organization affirmed in a statement that these Saudi lies express the state of incapacity and failure the criminal regime has reached and a desperate attempt to pin this crime on the Yemeni people and their Armed Forces.

The organization stressed that promoting and repeating this fabrication is an exposed attempt to mislead Islamic public opinion and mobilize positions by exploiting the sanctity of Mecca, Medina, and the Noble Sanctuary, at a time when everyone knows the reality of the practices and policies the Saudi regime pursues toward Islamic sanctities.

It held the criminal Saudi regime fully responsible for any attacks on Mecca, Medina, and the Noble Sanctuary, affirming that the Yemeni people who waged a wide battle with major military powers in defense of Al-Aqsa Mosque are fully prepared to defend Mecca, the Sacred House of God, Medina, and the Noble Sanctuary by all possible means
