Yemen’s Government in Sana’a has welcomed the statement issued by the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, calling for action to confront a crime involving an insult to the Holy Qur’an committed by a US–Zionist election candidate.
In a statement condemning the incident, the government said confronting repeated and deliberate insults to the Qur’an is a religious duty incumbent upon all Muslims worldwide, particularly governments and elites, to collectively stand against all forms of abuse and targeting of Islam, its symbols, and sanctities.
The government urged Yemen’s free people and all institutions to engage responsibly and consciously with the Leader’s call to act and publicly declare their stance against the recurring insults, ongoing Zionist violations of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and to take part in the planned mass rally scheduled for Friday.
It described the US insult as part of a broader trajectory of explicit Zionist-American-Western hostility toward Islam, the Holy Qur’an, and core human values.
The statement said decades-long Zionist targeting of Islam and the Muslim nation—escalating in recent years—has been enabled by the alignment of client regimes and Zionist-aligned media with hostile regional projects.
The government warned that failure by the Ummah to fulfill its responsibilities in confronting these provocations and ongoing violations of Islamic sanctities would embolden Zionist actors to persist in targeting the Muslim nation, its identity, and its sacred sites.
It called on scholars, intellectual, political, and media elites to take urgent action and express rejection through all available means, including expanding the boycott of US and Israeli goods. The statement also cited the Zionist aggression against Gaza over the past two years as exposing to the world the brutal criminal nature of Zionist policies.
