Sana'a - Saba:
Minister of Culture and Tourism Dr. Ali al-Yafei has honored delegates from Arab, Islamic, and foreign nations participating in the "Palestine: The Central Issue of the Nation" conference.
During the ceremony, Minister al-Yafei welcomed the delegates to Sana'a, praising their role in raising global awareness about the Palestinian cause.
The Minister stressed the importance of the conference in reframing the Palestinian issue as a central and non-negotiable cause for the Arab world. He highlighted the conference's critical timing, as it coincides with what he described as the "most horrific war of genocide in history" being waged against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The Minister also emphasized the conference's role in shedding light on the regional and international repercussions of this "war of extermination," and the challenges faced by Palestinians in confronting the "American-Israeli war machine."
Minister al-Yafei praised the participants' commitment to attending, viewing it as a victory for "human values" against "falsehood" and "imperialist forces" seeking to dominate and exploit resources. He noted the conference's significance in raising awareness of the Palestinian cause as a human rights and humanitarian issue, and in facilitating the exchange of expertise among academics and politicians from around the world.
He further pointed out the conference's contribution to highlighting the tragic humanitarian situation in Gaza and increasing global awareness of the ongoing human rights violations there.
The Minister called for the conference to expand solidarity with the Palestinian people and encourage the development of an international support network of academics and activists working towards justice and opposing "American-Zionist oppression."
Delegates, along with the Minister and other officials, toured historical landmarks in Sana'a's Old City, gaining insights into its ancient industries and cultural heritage, dating back to the 5th century BC.
