Meanwhile, Yemen’s grand Mufti, Sayyed Shams Al-Din Sharaf Al-Din addressed the crowds at the funeral, calling for confronting the collaborators with the US and Israeli enemies.
“Remaining silent about criminals and those who collude with the nation’s enemies is religious and national treason,” Sayyed Sharaf Al-Din stated.
For his part, Mohammad Ahmad Muftah, the acting Prime Minister of Yemeni government in Sana’a, praised the “great faith-driven and jihadi stance embodied by the martyr” Al-Ghamari.
“Today we bid farewell to one of the great men of this nation — a man distinguished by purity of intention, sincerity, and noble purpose,” Muftah said in a speech during the funeral ceremony.
He affirmed that the mass funeral “represents a historic milestone, reflecting the people’s loyalty to their great men and their sincere commitment to the cause of martyrdom and victory.”
