[00:00:12] These courses were held in
[00:00:22] governorate and were linked to a number of
[00:00:31] full solidarity with May God bless your time, dear viewers.
[00:00:35] Welcome to the news bulletin. We start
[00:00:38] with the headlines.

[00:01:49] Welcome
[00:01:58] and its repercussions, stressing in cooperation with their colleagues in again to the details. and weapons depots,
[00:02:01] ammunition, vehicles, and means of transport
[00:02:05] and supply. In Taiz, Al-Nazili said that
[00:02:08] the air strikes crushed the militia's reinforcements and convoys
[00:02:12] pushed to the fronts, and scattered their gatherings
[00:02:15] and thwarted their attempts to support their positions and reorganize
[00:02:18] their forces, adding that the targeting was carried out
[00:02:22] It affirmed that these claims do not in accordance with the rules of international humanitarian law and in a manner
[00:02:25] that respects the principles of distinction and proportionality and the taking of
[00:02:29] necessary precautions to protect civilians and civilian
[00:02:32] objects. The official spokesman for the armed
[00:02:36] forces indicated that military engineering units continued to clear
[00:02:40] the militias are still the recaptured sites and areas from mines and explosive devices
[00:02:43] and secure them for the forces and the return of citizens.
[00:02:47] And in
[00:02:52] of the governor of Taiz issued on the Marib governorate fronts, the armed forces continue their operations against the Houthi militias
[00:02:56] supported by Iran within the theater of operations
[00:03:00] of the Seventh Military Region as part of Operation
[00:03:03] Yemen Dawn. The armed forces are fighting direct
[00:03:07] and continuous battles with the rebel and terrorist militias.
[00:03:10] The armed forces have targeted the militia's capabilities
[00:03:13] with painful strikes carried out by warplanes,
[00:03:17] unmanned aircraft,
[00:03:19] Al-Zouba, also warned, in a phone call with artillery, and rocket
[00:03:20] launchers.
[00:04:08] In the Marib fronts, the unmanned aircraft of the Third Military
[00:04:12] and is working in coordination with Region targeted fortifications and concentrations of the terrorist Houthi militia.
[00:04:25] in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, does
[00:04:32] And outside on the outskirts of Aden, not inside.
[00:04:49] The official spokesman for the coalition to support legitimacy,
[00:04:52] Major General Turki Al-Maliki, announced the interception
[00:04:56] and destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the terrorist Houthi militias
[00:05:01] forces, in short, on towards Khamis Mushait. Al-Maliki also announced earlier
[00:05:05] the rest of the ministry, in the interception and destruction of a drone in the Eastern Region of the Kingdom
[00:05:08] of Saudi Arabia. Major General Al-Maliki also indicated that the coalition
[00:05:11] forces had tracked a threat
[00:05:14] with drones and cruise missiles targeting the Kingdom, and that work was underway
[00:05:18] the threat.
[00:05:22] After more than 11 years of siege by the Houthi
[00:05:25] terrorist militias on the terrorist
[00:05:28] militias that suffocated the city and its residents throughout
[00:05:32] the past years, these days it is trying, while doubling
[00:05:35] its siege on the city, to promote its claims
[00:05:38] of opening roads, but the field facts
[00:05:42] expose its falsehood and lies and reveal its attempts
[00:05:45] to persist in doubling restrictions and military escalation that exacerbates the humanitarian
[00:05:49] tragedy and expands the circle of threats
[00:05:53] to include the governorate's districts, its rural areas,
[00:05:56] and its areas. The Houthi militia's closure of roads
[00:06:00] in Taiz is not just a passing measure that accompanies
[00:06:03] its recent escalation, but rather a policy that has extended throughout
[00:06:07] the past years since the coup.
[00:06:10] On the contrary to its claims, it rejected all previous
[00:06:14] humanitarian and UN initiatives to open roads
[00:06:17] and crossings, isolating the residents from their surroundings
[00:06:20] and imposing on them the hardship of moving between rugged
[00:06:24] mountain roads and raising the cost of obtaining food, medicine,
[00:06:28] and basic necessities, while shelling, sniping,
[00:06:31] and mines claimed civilian lives, and thousands
[00:06:35] of victims were killed or wounded.
[00:06:37] Today, the paradox is clear between
[00:06:40] its alleged discourse about roads and its practices
[00:06:44] and military battles within the city of Taiz and what
[00:06:48] it causes in terms of threatening the security of the governorate and cutting
[00:06:51] the arteries of life and supply, and these
[00:06:54] practices contradict its claims.
[00:06:58] More than six million citizens inside the city
[00:07:01] of Taiz are facing the repercussions of the escalation and the expansion
[00:07:04] of the scope of confrontations in a scene that makes
[00:07:08] the responsibility of ending suffering a humanitarian
[00:07:11] and national priority. Taiz today and its people are fighting
[00:07:15] the battle of supply, and these are practices that contradict
[00:07:19] its claims. More than six million
[00:07:22] citizens inside the city of Taiz are facing
[00:07:25] the repercussions of the escalation and the expansion of the scope of confrontations in
[00:07:29] a scene that makes the responsibility of ending suffering
[00:07:32] a humanitarian and national priority. Taiz
[00:07:36] today and its people are fighting the battle. Governor Al-Khanbashi
[00:07:39] stressed the importance of redoubling efforts to improve
[00:07:43] the level of institutional and field performance of the fund,
[00:07:46] stressing the need to enhance collection efficiency and resource development
[00:07:49] and direct available capabilities towards developing
[00:07:52] services. The meeting also discussed collection and follow-up indicators
[00:07:56] and the most prominent challenges facing the work progress
[00:07:59] and reviewed observations and proposals aimed at addressing
[00:08:03] shortcomings and improving performance and enhancing the efficiency
[00:08:06] of implementing plans and programs during the second half of the current
[00:08:10] year.
[00:08:13] Prime Minister Dr. Sha'a Mohsen Al-Zindani praised
[00:08:17] the continuous efforts exerted by the Ministry of Interior
[00:08:20] and the security and intelligence services after
[00:08:23] arresting a number of terrorist cells belonging to the terrorist Houthi
[00:08:27] militia in the interim capital Aden and the governorates
[00:08:30] of Lahj and Abyan, which were planning to target
[00:08:34] security and military leaders and supply and reinforcement
[00:08:37] lines. The Prime Minister commended the vigilance and professionalism
[00:08:40] of the security men who foiled these plots before
[00:08:44] their execution and prevented any harm to the security of citizens and the stability
[00:08:48] of the liberated governorates, affirming that protecting the internal
[00:08:51] front is an integral part of the battle to restore authority
[00:08:54] and state sovereignty within the framework of Operation Yemen
[00:08:58] Dawn, and that the government will continue to provide the necessary support to the security
[00:09:02] services to enhance their readiness. The Prime Minister called
[00:09:06] on citizens to continue cooperating with the security
[00:09:09] services and report any suspicious activity, stressing that
[00:09:13] those involved will be referred to the competent judiciary to receive
[00:09:16] their just punishment according to the law. He also appreciated the support
[00:09:20] of the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the security
[00:09:23] services.
[00:09:27] The Ministry of Interior announced the arrest of a number of terrorist cells belonging
[00:09:30] to the terrorist Houthi militia supported by the Iranian
[00:09:33] regime during last September. These cells
[00:09:37] intended to spread chaos and carry out operations targeting
[00:09:40] security and military leaders, the interim capital Aden
[00:09:43] and the governorates of Lahj and Abyan, in addition to
[00:09:47] military reinforcements and logistical
[00:09:49] supply lines. Everything the Houthi militias have reached
[00:09:53] today bears the fingerprints of Iranian Revolutionary Guard
[00:09:56] experts and Hezbollah. Starting from
[00:09:59] recruitment and mobilization methods, up to
[00:10:02] training and manufacturing, including booby traps and explosive devices,
[00:10:06] and various types of weapons in their possession. We
[00:10:10] obtained information during the investigation
[00:10:13] with elements of Houthi cells that were arrested
[00:10:16] that these elements received training courses on
[00:10:20] carrying out terrorist plots and explosive
[00:10:24] devices and booby traps
[00:10:26] and carrying out suicide
[00:10:29] operations at the hands of experts from the Revolutionary Guard
[00:10:33] and Hezbollah.
[00:10:37] many governorates occupied by
[00:10:40] the Houthis. Investigations also revealed that the specialized
[00:10:43] courses for the elements of these
[00:10:46] cells are held in Saada governorate with the participation
[00:10:50] of advanced Iranian experts in
[00:10:53] the field of work.
[00:10:56] The last of these arrested cells at the end of last September
[00:10:59] was a very complex Houthi network
[00:11:03] consisting of 18 terrorist
[00:11:06] elements and directly supervised by the terrorist
[00:11:09] called Amjad Khaled and with him
[00:11:12] the terrorist leader Ahmed Jarid, appointed by
[00:11:16] the Houthi militias as governor of
[00:11:19] Lahj governorate. They received training courses in more
[00:11:23] than one occupied governorate.
[00:11:25] The training period for some courses reached
[00:11:29] five months, and the militias had
[00:11:32] harnessed huge capabilities for this network
[00:11:36] and pinned great
[00:11:39] hopes on it to implement its terrorist plans in
[00:11:42] the governorates of Aden, Lahj, and Abyan.
[00:11:45] However, these plans failed
[00:11:49] and the network met the same fate that the terrorist
[00:11:53] cells that preceded it met. We also
[00:11:56] confirm to everyone that despite the unlimited
[00:11:59] support provided by the Houthi terrorist
[00:12:03] militias to these cells and the direct supervision of
[00:12:07] Iranian Revolutionary Guard experts and Hezbollah
[00:12:10] over the training of their elements,
[00:12:13] the readiness of the heroes of the Ministry
[00:12:15] of Interior and their vigilance and heroism
[00:12:20] the intelligence agencies contributed to thwarting these
[00:12:24] cells. In thwarting these cells successively
[00:12:28] and delivering painful blows to them during
[00:12:31] recent months. These demands came to frustrate the militia's
[00:12:34] bets on these cells to stir up
[00:12:37] chaos and destabilize
[00:12:41] security and stability and disrupt the situation on the fighting fronts
[00:12:45] in the governorates in general and the governorates
[00:12:49] of Aden, Lahj, and Abyan in particular, and to prepare
[00:12:52] the conditions for them to take control of the rest
[00:12:56] of the cities. Despite the losses incurred
[00:12:59] by the terrorist militia's cells due to the successive
[00:13:02] security strikes,
[00:13:05] continuing their terrorist approach and their attempts
[00:13:09] to destabilize security
[00:13:11] and stability.
[00:13:14] For his part, the Minister of State and Governor of Aden, Abdul Rahman Sheikh,
[00:13:17] referred to the terrorist Houthi militia's approach in exploiting the displaced, and also
[00:13:21] referred to what the local authority had done to contain the wave.
[00:13:29] The terrorist work that the Houthis are doing in
[00:13:31] Hodeidah
[00:13:34] and Taiz governorates and parts of
[00:13:37] Lahj governorate
[00:13:40] resulted in a sudden and large and unexpected
[00:13:43] displacement movement and was more than before
[00:13:46] then, meaning displacement camps.
[00:13:49] But these camps were established over 12 years.
[00:13:53] انشات خلال 12 سنه.
[00:13:57] But in the current situation, we were surprised by large numbers.
[00:14:00] And the issue of the displaced is, first
[00:14:04] of all, related to the humanitarian
[00:14:07] and religious aspect, and these
[00:14:10] people cannot in any way
[00:14:12] be discussed.
[00:14:15] But rather an administrative
[00:14:18] and organizational nature, as well as
[00:14:21] a security precaution, because these large numbers.
[00:14:42] were as follows: First, it was about the entry of any displaced people
[00:14:45] with weapons. This was the first. The second matter was that we quickly
[00:14:49] established, and this was the first time an initiative from the local
[00:14:51] authority, that it would be the one to establish it.
[00:14:57] And everyone knows that we have
[00:15:01] within less than half a month, meaning a camp was established that now has 800
[00:15:04] tents with all
[00:15:08] the facilities. It has a medical clinic, it has
[00:15:12] administration, it has a mosque, it has classrooms.
[00:15:15] And this was something
[00:15:19] that was not accustomed in the past that the local
[00:15:22] authority cooperating with the brothers in the
[00:15:26] the forces, meaning in
[00:15:30] the offices, whether health or Yemeni, to quickly establish a camp
[00:15:34] of this size. The first day, approximately
[00:15:37] 200 displaced people. Within half a month, we reached
[00:15:41] approximately 7,000 displaced people
[00:15:43] in the camp, and all
[00:15:45] the capabilities were prepared.
[00:15:47] This was admitted by the elements of the terrorist cells belonging to the terrorist Houthi
[00:15:51] militia supported by the Iranian regime, who were
[00:15:54] arrested, that they received training in Al-Hawban in Taiz
[00:16:00] Houthi terrorist leaders. Their plans
[00:16:02] included targeting leaders or
[00:16:05] targeting leaders.
[00:16:37] In coordination with Mamoun Al-Zagl, he
[00:16:41] contacted a person who came to Sabr, and I
[00:16:45] went out from Aden to
[00:16:47] person in Sabr and received the explosive
[00:16:51] device from him and brought it to
[00:16:53] Aden next
[00:16:57] to where I got off
[00:17:00] at the Nile, then I went to the Ochel
[00:17:03] office on Line 50 and placed it there.
[00:17:09] I was promised after carrying out the operation
[00:17:12] a sum of money. The car in Aden has my
[00:17:16] participation.
[00:17:24] The goal was
[00:17:27] to destabilize security within Aden
[00:17:29] governorate
[00:17:37] and to create chaos.
[00:17:54] The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Dr. Afrah Al-Zouba,
[00:17:58] discussed, during a phone call with the Egyptian Foreign Minister,
[00:18:01] Dr. Badr Abdel-Atti, the latest developments in Yemen
[00:18:05] and the region, and ways to enhance coordination to face the current challenges.
[00:18:08] Both sides discussed the security
[00:18:12] of navigation in Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea, and the need to enhance
[00:18:15] joint coordination between the two sisterly countries to secure international
[00:18:19] navigation lanes. The Minister of Foreign Affairs
[00:18:22] addressed the escalation of the terrorist Houthi militia in Taiz
[00:18:25] governorate, which threatens more than four million
[00:18:29] Yemenis, including thousands of displaced families who were forced
[00:18:32] by the militias to leave their homes in the western coastal
[00:18:36] district and the southern countryside.
[00:18:38] For his part, the Egyptian Foreign Minister affirmed his country's
[00:18:41] firm and supportive stance for Yemen, its unity and sovereignty, in a way that preserves
[00:18:45] its capabilities and meets the aspirations of the Yemeni
[00:18:47] people.
[00:18:51] The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Dr. Afrah
[00:18:56] the British Ambassador to Yemen, Abdul Sharif,
[00:19:00] of the seriousness of the Houthi escalation on regional security and international navigation,
[00:19:03] and stressed the need to take a firm
[00:19:06] and unified international stance to deter these attacks and not
[00:19:10] allow the militias to use force
[00:19:14] as a means of blackmail or to impose a fait accompli.
[00:19:17] Minister Al-Zouba and the British Ambassador discussed aspects of British
[00:19:21] support for the government's efforts in dealing with
[00:19:24] waves of displacement and alleviating the humanitarian suffering of thousands of displaced
[00:19:28] families. She praised British support for the government in
[00:19:32] various fields, expressing her aspiration to strengthen cooperation
[00:19:35] and coordination to meet the needs of the displaced
[00:19:38] urgently. For her part, the British
[00:19:41] Ambassador affirmed her country's continued support for the government and its keenness
[00:19:45] to continue working closely with it in various
[00:19:48] fields.
[00:19:52] The Minister of Information, Maamar Mutahar Al-Eryani, affirmed that the targeting
[00:19:56] by the terrorist Houthi militia, affiliated with Iran, of King
[00:19:59] Khalid International Airport
[00:20:03] not represent a military achievement, but rather a terrorist attack
[00:20:06] that reveals, once again, the nature
[00:20:09] of the Houthi militia. Al-Eryani stressed
[00:20:12] that civilian airports are not battlegrounds and that targeting
[00:20:16] civilians does not grant legitimacy to its perpetrators or bring
[00:20:19] them victory. He indicated that the Kingdom of Saudi
[00:20:23] Arabia is capable of protecting its security and sovereignty
[00:20:26] and confronting any attack targeting its territory and the safety of its citizens
[00:20:29] and residents. He affirmed that targeting an international airport
[00:20:33] constitutes a direct threat to the international civil aviation system
[00:20:36] and described the attack as a serious indicator.
[00:20:40] Al-Eryani warned against merely issuing condemnations and denunciations, calling
[00:20:44] for serious and effective international measures
[00:20:47] to hold those responsible for these attacks accountable
[00:20:50] and prevent their recurrence, pointing out that
[00:20:54] overlooking the parties proven to be involved in
[00:20:56] arming these groups and enabling
[00:21:00] them to carry out their attacks would encourage the recurrence of such
[00:21:04] crimes. He affirmed that what unites Yemen and the Kingdom
[00:21:07] of Saudi Arabia in terms of deep fraternal ties, strategic
[00:21:11] interests, and a common destiny makes the security
[00:21:14] and stability of both countries a shared responsibility that cannot be compromised.
[00:21:18] He reiterated
[00:21:21] the brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, leadership, government,
[00:21:25] and people, and condemned this terrorist attack in the strongest
[00:21:29] terms, expressing firm confidence in the Kingdom's ability to
[00:21:33] protect its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
[00:21:35] Al-Eryani called on the international community, led by
[00:21:39] the UN Security Council and relevant international civil aviation organizations,
[00:21:43] to assume their legal and moral responsibilities
[00:21:46] and take practical steps to hold
[00:21:50] the perpetrators of these attacks and the parties involved in supporting
[00:21:53] them accountable and work to prevent their recurrence.
[00:21:55] Al-Eryani stressed that the security of civilian
[00:21:59] airports and the safety of passengers is not a local matter, but
[00:22:03] a shared international responsibility, warning against any
[00:22:06] leniency with
[00:22:08] their targeting.
[00:22:12] The Grand Mufti of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Head of the Council
[00:22:14] of Senior Scholars, Scientific Research, and Ifta, Sheikh Dr. Saleh
[00:22:18] Al-Fawzan, affirmed that the targeting by the terrorist Houthi militias of
[00:22:22] civilian facilities and the shedding of innocent blood and those heading to the Two Holy
[00:22:25] Mosques is a grave crime with
[00:22:28] severe consequences. He said that the Grand
[00:22:32] Mufti of the Kingdom stated that the targeting by the terrorist Houthi militias of civilian
[00:22:36] facilities and the shedding of innocent blood, including those heading to the Grand
[00:22:40] Mosque and the Prophet's Mosque, is one of the greatest
[00:22:43] crimes for which Allah Almighty has promised severe punishment.
[00:22:46] He affirmed that throughout history, no one who followed
[00:22:50] the path of this criminal gang has escaped destruction
[00:22:54] and severe consequences.
[00:22:58] The Ministry of Human Rights condemned the continued promotion
[00:23:01] by the terrorist Houthi militias of claims of opening roads and their continued
[00:23:04] attacks and control over supply routes and their closure to
[00:23:08] residents and humanitarian shipments.
[00:23:12] change the reality of the siege and do not exempt the militias from responsibility for
[00:23:16] its repercussions. The ministry warned of the serious repercussions
[00:23:19] of the Houthi militias renewing their siege on
[00:23:22] the city of Taiz after their widespread attacks in the surrounding
[00:23:25] areas and their control over the road that connects the city to supply
[00:23:29] outlets to the rest of the governorates. It stressed
[00:23:32] that closing this road doubles the effects of the siege that
[00:23:36] the people of Taiz have suffered throughout 12 years.
[00:23:39] It affirmed that in light of the appeal
[00:23:42] October 11, and health warnings of the imminent depletion
[00:23:46] of medicines, medical supplies, and fuel,
[00:23:50] the response can no longer be delayed. The ministry
[00:23:53] called on the United Nations and international humanitarian
[00:23:56] and human rights organizations to an urgent response commensurate
[00:23:59] with the seriousness of the situation, which requires the international community
[00:24:03] to exert effective pressure to lift the siege and ensure safe
[00:24:06] and sustainable humanitarian access.
[00:24:09] Stressing that the priority is to deliver life-saving
[00:24:13] supplies, and emphasized that the seriousness of the situation in Taiz
[00:24:16] necessitates urgent measures. The ministry

[00:25:18] Our country participated in the 77th session of the Executive
[00:25:22] Committee of the United Nations High Commissioner
[00:25:25] for Refugees, held at the Palace of Nations
[00:25:29] in Geneva, with a delegation headed by the Deputy
[00:25:32] Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Mustafa Noman.
[00:25:36] The Deputy Foreign Minister said in his country's statement that
[00:25:39] Yemen is a country that has hosted refugees for decades, even in
[00:25:43] the most difficult circumstances, and still fulfills its obligations despite its limited
[00:25:46] resources. However, facing the displacement of millions is a deep
[00:25:50] economic and humanitarian crisis that exceeds the state's
[00:25:54] ability to bear its responsibilities alone. The Deputy
[00:25:57] Foreign Minister reviewed a package of commitments and policies
[00:26:01] presented by the government in the field of developing the national legal framework
[00:26:04] for refugees, affirming the government's commitment to implementing
[00:26:07] them. He called on the UNHCR to play
[00:26:11] an active role in aligning Yemen's commitments with those of
[00:26:14] donors and partners and mobilizing technical, financial,
[00:26:17] and developmental support to implement them before the humanitarian crisis
[00:26:20] worsens, stressing that Yemen is not asking the international
[00:26:24] community to replace its state, but rather seeks
[00:26:27] a genuine partnership that enables it to fulfill
[00:26:29] its responsibilities.
[00:26:50] The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Mustafa Noman, discussed in
[00:26:54] Geneva, Switzerland, with the UN High Commissioner
[00:26:58] for Refugees, Dr. Barham Salih,
[00:27:01] ways to enhance joint cooperation and the repercussions of
[00:27:05] the escalating humanitarian crisis in Yemen due to the military
[00:27:08] escalation of the terrorist Houthi militias. The Deputy
[00:27:12] Foreign Minister indicated during the meeting that the recent military
[00:27:15] escalation of the Houthi militias doubled the suffering of civilians
[00:27:19] and exacerbated waves of displacement, explaining that the number
[00:27:22] of internally displaced persons exceeded five million
[00:27:25] displaced persons after the addition of about one million displaced persons during recent
[00:27:29] months, in addition to the continued siege imposed by the militias on
[00:27:33] the city of Taiz. He addressed the large
[00:27:37] economic burdens borne by the state and the depletion of its limited
[00:27:40] resources due to the continued war, as well as the militias' intransigence
[00:27:43] and rejection of peace efforts. He affirmed the government's
[00:27:47] commitment to providing the necessary facilities and accelerating response
[00:27:50] procedures for humanitarian organizations. For his part, the UN
[00:27:54] High Commissioner for Refugees affirmed the Commission's
[00:27:57] interest in the Yemeni file
[00:28:00] the endeavor to intensify the Commission's field presence.
[00:28:04] He indicated the Commission's intention to proceed with
[00:28:07] the procedures for nominating and appointing a new representative to head
[00:28:10] its office in Yemen.

[00:28:21] Prime Minister, Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal, on the latest developments
