Kuwaiti initiative to support Abu al-Saad receives reaction
Kuwait - Saba:
The initiative of Kuwaiti businessman Abdullah Al-Dabbous received widespread interaction on social media platforms after he offered a job to Moroccan engineer Ibtihal Abu Al-Saad, who was fired from the American company Microsoft for expressing her solidarity with the victims of the genocide in Gaza.
Al-Dabbous wrote on the X platform, "We tried to contact engineer Ibtihal Abu Al-Saad to make a job offer, but we found that her LinkedIn account had been deleted."
He added sarcastically, "This is not surprising, as LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft."
Activists considered this initiative "a noble stance that reflects Arab chivalry and a practical vindication of the efforts to silence voices supporting Palestine."
Others emphasized that "this is not strange for Kuwait, which has always expressed its unwavering support for the Palestinian cause and stood by all who champion the truth and defend justice."
Former Kuwaiti MP Osama Al-Shaheen commented, saying, "A noble Muslim businessman from dear Kuwait. Salute to your generous initiative towards a worthy cause and a courageous heroine."
In the same context, organizational development expert Muhammad Tahami said, "The resignation of engineer Ibtihal was not just news, but a glimmer of human dignity that broke through the wall of silence in a digital world steeped in cold calculations."
He added to Quds Press on Wednesday, "She was fired because she spoke the truth and stood with Palestine. Not only did she lose her job, but she paid the price for her moral stance."
A video clip has gone viral showing Microsoft employee Abu Al-Saad interrupting a speech by the company's CEO of Artificial Intelligence, Mustafa Suleiman, during the company's 50th anniversary celebration.
In an unexpected moment, Ibtihal explicitly protested Microsoft's support for the Israeli occupation army in its aggression against the Gaza Strip, accusing Suleiman of complicity in this war.

Yemen :Houthis vow to strike US ships if America joins Israel's war on Iran
Yemen's Houthi rebels vowed on Saturday to resume attacks on US ships if American forces join Israel's war on Iran. "In the event that the Americans are involved in the attack and aggression against Iran alongside the Israeli enemy, the armed forces will target their ships and warships in the Red Sea," the Houthis said in a statement. Last week, Yemeni security sources told The National that the rebels are considering resuming strikes on US targets in the Middle East and intensifying attacks on Israel in support of Iran. US President Donald Trump said last month the Iran-backed Houthis 'capitulated' and that America would stop strikes on the rebels after they agreed to cease attacking ships in the Red Sea. The Houthis are part of the so-called Axis of Resistance, an Iran-led network that includes Hamas in Palestine, Hezbollah in Lebanon and armed groups in Iraq, whose aim is to deter Israel from conducting military action and countering its influence in the region. Many of the groups have fought against Iran's enemies in their respective countries. The groups launched attacks on Israel as part of a support campaign for Hamas and the Palestinian people after the Gaza war broke out on October 7, 2023. But months of fighting with Israel, which holds clear military dominance, have eroded the operational capacity of the axis considerably. Hezbollah was once considered Iran's first line of defence against Israeli attacks, but strikes against the group last year killed its political and military leaders and largely destroyed its arsenal. Lebanese officials have urged Hezbollah not to respond to Israeli attacks on Iran. In Iraq, sources close to the government told The National this week that some of the most prominent militant groups have made it known that any US military intervention would trigger a response.2222222aq

President Al-Mashat: We will work to prevent any participation in aggression against Iran by all legitimate means
Sana'a - (Saba): His Excellency Field Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, confirmed that he will "direct the Foreign Ministry to send a memorandum to notify the United Nations of our observations of preparations and readiness by some member states to participate with the Israeli entity in its aggression against Iran." President Al-Mashat said in a statement to the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), "We will work to prevent any participation in the aggression against Iran by all legitimate means." He called on all Arab, Islamic, and peace-loving countries to make the same decision instead of waiting for us to target one country after another. He added, "We have every right to our decision, humanitarian, religious, and moral, and it is supported by international and regional conventions and Yemeni laws." President Al-Mashat pointed out that when countries abandon their responsibility to protect international peace and security and become supporters and accomplices of the aggressor in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, the solution lies in a strong and unified stance from all. He said, "The fire will reach every country if we do not all take action and stop the scheme of the arrogant powers to violate it." He pointed out that "any hostile act targeting any Islamic country will be opposed and confronted by us. This is our position, and we have previously announced it." His Excellency the President reiterated that America will not achieve anything new if it participates with the Israeli enemy entity in its aggression against Iran, except for its further involvement, and everyone will see that. He added, "We will direct the Humanitarian Operations Center to take the necessary measures in accordance with Yemeni law," stressing that anyone who supports or participates in Israel's aggression must pay the price for their decision.

'Palestinian Ahrar Movement: What is happening in West Bank, Quds is full-fledged war crime'
Gaza – SABA: The Palestinian Ahrar Movement stated on Saturday that 'the crimes of settlers in the West Bank and Quds are a continuation of the extermination-based Judaization policy adopted by the extremist occupation government,' stressing that 'the attacks, which coincide with a suspicious escalation in settlement activity and expansion in the occupied West Bank and Qud, are part of a de facto implementation of annexation and silent displacement plans without an official declaration.' In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the movement said: 'What is happening in the cities and camps of the West Bank and Jerusalem — including the complete closure imposed by the Nazi Zionist occupation, alongside the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza — is a clear attempt to erase Palestinian identity, break the will of our people, and forcibly displace them. The occupation is tightening its grip on our people in the West Bank and Jerusalem through all possible means, including restricting their movement between villages, especially in Jenin and Tulkarm camps, and closing the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque to worshippers. This is aimed at forcing our people to leave their homeland, and it constitutes a full-fledged war crime under international humanitarian law.' The movement emphasized that 'the attacks by extremist settlers will not deter our people from clinging to their land and rights. Rather, they will serve as a motivation for further resilience and steadfastness, and as a driving force for escalating confrontation and embracing resistance as a strategic choice to liberate all of Palestine.' It called on 'the revolutionary Palestinian people and resistance forces in the West Bank and Jerusalem to unite and confront the Zionist colonial attacks, repel settler aggression against our people, land, and holy sites, maintain a continuous presence at Al-Aqsa Mosque, and activate and support all forms of resistance wherever the occupation and settlers exist.'
