Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Following the reaction of Yemeni officials to the ceasefire with the US, Mohammed Abdul Salam, spokesman for the Yemeni Ansarullah movement, announced today (Wednesday, May 7) that the agreement between Sanaa and Washington is to stop the US aggression against Yemen.
Abdul Salam stated in an interview with Al Jazeera: "We have the right to respond immediately to any aggression against our country."
Emphasizing Yemen's steadfastness in its position in supporting the Palestinian people, he said: "We will continue to target the Zionist ships until aid reaches the Gaza Strip." The ceasefire agreement we reached with Washington serves the Palestinian cause and worries the Zionists.
He added: "We will evaluate any future US support for the Zionist regime and will determine our position based on it. We do not accept that the issue of supporting Gaza is subject to any blackmail, and our response to the Zionist regime's aggression is inevitable."
This Ansarullah official noted: "The ceasefire agreement with Washington was not a momentary agreement, but was reached after long negotiations through mediators, and the change in America's position shows real pressure on the Zionist regime."
The Ansarullah spokesman said: "Our priority is to continue our efforts to support the Palestinian cause. We also cannot tolerate any aggression against our country and we will respond to any aggression. We will respond to the Zionist regime's aggression with all available means."
According to media reports, US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday evening that he would stop US attacks on Yemen. Trump claimed: The Houthis do not want to fight. We accept their word that they will no longer blow up ships and we will immediately stop bombing their positions.
After that, CNN reported, citing a US Department of Defense official, that the US military had received an order to stop attacks on Ansar Allah forces (Houthi).
According to the network, the ceasefire was the result of talks that were held last week between Washington and Ansar Allah with the mediation of Oman and led by a team headed by Steve Whittaker.
In response to Trump's position, Mohammed Abdul Salam, spokesman for Ansar Allah and head of the Yemeni negotiating team, stated in an interview with Al-Masirah: "Yemen's current position shows our strength and stability. This request for a ceasefire came to us from the US through Oman."
He emphasized: "We did not make any requests from America, but it was the Americans who sent us their messages and requests through Oman. Israel is very disappointed with America's position, because America tried to save itself from the Yemeni quagmire."
Mahdi Al-Mashat, head of the Yemeni Supreme Political Council, also said in this regard: "There will be no retreat from supporting Gaza, even if the price is heavy. What happened shows that our blows have been painful and will continue."
