Parliament Speaker praises positions of Member of UK Parliament

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yahya Ali Al-Ra'i, praised the positions of the Member of the UK Parliament, Apsana Begum, including what she addressed in her question regarding the tragedy in Gaza and Yemen. In a letter he addressed to 'Apsana Begum', he appreciated its call for the necessity of stopping the bombing of Gaza and Yemen due to the catastrophic dangers it entails. The Speaker of the House of Representatives added in his message, "We followed with great interest your question to the British Prime Minister about the bombing of Yemen and the warning of humanitarian organizations that the bombing threatens the lives of the civilian population and limits the access of humanitarian aid." He stressed that she was successful and right in saying, 'Instead of escalating the risks to the civilian population, why does the Prime Minister not support the increasing international calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, put an end to the attacks on Yemen, and call for peace and justice?' The Speaker of the House of Representatives considered the British Prime Minister's response and his insistence on bombing Yemen to be in violation of the voice of reason and international and humanitarian law, despite the Republic of Yemen repeatedly affirming its commitment to protecting navigation in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Explaining that the ban was limited to Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine until the aggression against Gaza stopped and food and medical aid was brought to the Palestinian people. Yahya Al-Ra'i pointed out that the United States and Britain are constantly bombing Yemeni cities and terrorizing citizens without any legal justification, but rather because of Yemen's position in support of the Palestinian people. He pointed to the American and British support for the Saudi and Emirati aggression coalition against Yemen and their provision of weapons, logistical and intelligence support to the coalition and the resulting bombing and destruct ion of the nation's infrastructure. The Speaker of the House of Representatives linked these attacks to the bombing that is happening today in Yemen, because of his humanitarian and moral position, which stipulates stopping the aggression against Gaza by the Israeli enemy and bringing urgent humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, as a result of the catastrophic situation caused by the Zionist entity in Gaza by preventing the entry of food and medicine to the Palestinian people which has been subjected to a war of extermination for more than four months.
