The Houthi-run Yemeni foreign ministry has warned Israel against continued violations of the ceasefire in Gaza, citing the latest attack that targeted Qassam Brigades commander Raed Saeed Saad.

In a statement, the ministry said that “the crimes of genocide in Gaza have not stopped and are still being committed on a daily basis, causing the killing of dozens of people, including children and women”.

It added that Israel has failed to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and has not ended its military offensive or the blockade imposed on the Palestinian population in the territory. 

The ministry also warned of what it described as continued escalation in the West Bank, including killings, house demolitions and damage to property, as well as the ongoing expansion of settlement plans “in an unprecedented manner”.

It called on the international community to compel Israel to implement the ceasefire agreement, complete the first phase, allow humanitarian aid to enter without obstacles, move forward with the second phase, and stop escalation and settlement activity in the West Bank.

The statement reaffirmed Yemen’s official position, saying that the country’s leadership, government and people continue to support the Palestinian people and what it described as their just cause.
