Sheikh Hamid al-Ahmer, a member of the Yemeni Parliament and a prominent leader of the Islah Party, took a strong stance against the Israeli aggression that targeted Sana'a International Airport and the ports of Hudaydah earlier today. Al-Ahmer condemned the attack on Yemen’s infrastructure and vital facilities, describing it as an assault on the nation’s resources.

These statements by al-Ahmer sparked significant controversy, especially among the Houthis, who launched widespread campaigns against him after he expressed his intent to liberate Sana'a from the grip of the Iran-backed Houthi militias. Al-Ahmer recently stated that recent movements in Riyadh aim to minimize the human cost of retaking Sana'a.

In a brief post on the X platform, al-Ahmer affirmed that Riyadh is the "capital of Arab decision-making," noting his meetings with Yemeni leaders in Riyadh and others who had gathered there in response to the growing demands to utilize international and regional developments to end the Houthi coup and restore the state.

Al-Ahmer explained that these popular demands and pressures are further reinforced by the following points:

1. The Houthis have proven their lack of commitment to peace and missed the valuable opportunity for peace offered by Saudi Arabia.
2. The Houthi military mobilizations and reckless statements will not alter the decisive decision to end their coup; they will only increase the cost of this decision for the Houthis and their system, as their actions confirm they are incapable of realistically assessing developments, and the voice of reason is completely absent within their group.
3. The international community's stance has changed, and there will be no repeat of the situation where the international community hindered the liberation of Hudaydah port or the advance of the Yemeni army towards Sana'a.
4. The anger and frustration of the Yemeni people in areas controlled by the Houthis have reached unprecedented levels, and the ongoing policy of repression and violence will only escalate this discontent.

In conclusion, al-Ahmer expressed his firm belief that the Houthi coup and their inflated power will eventually collapse, stating, "I have never doubted that the Houthi coup and its inflated power will be eradicated, no matter the circumstances. The real challenge today is how Yemen’s wise individuals can avoid any potential societal costs in the days ahead."
