Hadi: Military Operations Continue Until Liberation of Yemeni Territories

Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi said the military operations will not stop until all the Yemeni territories are liberated from Houthi rebel militants.

In a meeting with ambassadors of the G19 supporting Yemen, attended by GCC Secretary-General Abdulatif al-Zayani, Hadi said no dialogue or consultations can be held unless they are based on the three relevant terms of reference, which are ending the coup, handing over weapons to the state and withdrawing from cities and state institutions.

Hadi pointed out the campaigns of arrests, killing, intimidation and bombing of houses conducted by Houthi militias against members of General People's Congress (GPC) members.

"These acts reflect the militia's lack of readiness and capacity for peace." As long as the military power is in their hands, we believe that peace with them is impossible," said Hadi.

He also cited the radical militia's "recent atrocities in Sanaa and the killing of their former ally Saleh and the head of Saleh's negotiation team Aref Azooka” as Saleh's camp's renounced rebellion and called for talks with the government.

Hadi said that he is trying to regroup the Houthi-fractured GPC and has "opened doors to all those who suffered persecution by Houthis."

"We also treated the family of Saleh in a humanitarian way, according to Islamic morals and national customs.”

Hadi called on the international community to condemn the state of terror, repression, cut off communications, random searches, prosecutions and looting of houses, which are violations carried out by Houthi militias in Sanaa.

He also called on all world countries to help Yemen economically and participate in re-normalizing life in territories restored from the militia.

Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian West Bank town on Wednesday, sparking a confrontation that ended with Israeli forces killing three Palestinians, the Israeli military and Palestinian authorities said.

Three Palestinians were killed and seven wounded in the violence in Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, the Palestinian health ministry said.

An Israeli military statement said dozens of Israelis set fire to property, and military and police forces were dispatched to the scene after receiving a report of ensuing violence that included an exchange of stone-throwing.

The military statement said several Palestinians opened fire and hurled rocks at the forces, who returned the fire. Five Israeli suspects were arrested. An Israeli army officer was lightly wounded.

Video footage showed at least two cars had been set ablaze. Reuters could not independently verify the video.

Hussein al-Sheikh, the deputy to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, posted on X: "The government of Israel, with its behavior and decisions, is pushing the region to explode."

"We call on the international community to intervene urgently to protect our Palestinian people," he said.

Earlier on Wednesday a Palestinian boy was shot dead by the Israeli army during a raid on Al-Yamun, a West Bank town west of Jenin, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
