The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine strongly condemned the US decision to classify Ansar Allah as a “terrorist organization” and impose sanctions on its leaders.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, in a statement, considered the decision a step in the context of the aggressive US policy targeting the resistance forces and free peoples who reject hegemony and colonialism, stressing that Yemen continues to confront in defense of the just causes of the nation, most notably the Palestinian cause.
The Front pointed out that America, which ignites wars around the world and supports the Zionist entity, is not in a position to classify resistance organizations, explaining that America is the first enemy of peoples seeking liberation and independence.
It affirmed its full support for the Yemeni people and Ansar Allah in the face of these sanctions, aggression and siege, noting that the Yemeni steadfastness is a model to be emulated in resisting colonialism and its tools in the region.
The administration of US President Donald Trump had previously announced the entry into force of the classification decision he signed at the beginning of the year, and hours after the US decision, the Yemeni forces announced yesterday evening, Tuesday, the downing of an American “MQ-9” aircraft off the western coast of Yemen.
The American decision came against the backdrop of the support battle waged by the Yemeni armed forces and people in support of the Palestinian people who were subjected to a Zionist war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, which lasted from October 7, 2023 to January 19, 2025 and led to the martyrdom and injury of more than 160 Palestinians and the loss of more than 14,000, and the near-total destruction of the besieged Strip.
During the Gaza support battle, the armed forces succeeded in launching regular and escalating attacks with hypersonic, ballistic and winged missiles and drones on the Zionist enemy entity, including its center of gravity and the capital of its entity in occupied Jaffa. Sanaa also imposed a comprehensive ban on ships entering the ports of the enemy entity in occupied Palestine.
America and Britain failed to break the Yemeni embargo for more than a year, and the Yemeni armed forces even forced the American and Western fleets, including 4 American carriers, to withdraw from the theater of operations in the Red and Arabian Seas.
With the ceasefire coming into effect in Gaza on January 19, the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, confirmed more than once that Sana’a was ready to resume its operations immediately in the face of the enemy entity’s procrastination and failure to abide by the terms of the ceasefire. Washington is resorting to economic pressure on Sana’a in order to force the Yemeni people to stop their support for Palestine, which Yemen has not accepted, and the White House must await the Yemeni response to the latest American classification.
