People across Yemen rally against Israel’s military actions in Middle East

Gatherings and demonstrations occurred in many places in Yemen on Friday, as people protested against Israel's aggressive actions in many parts of the Middle East region.

On September 27, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and several important members of the group were killed in Israeli airstrikes targeting Hezbollah’s command headquarters in Dahieh, in Beirut's southern suburbs.

Following Nasrallah's death, the situations between Palestine and Israel and between Lebanon and Israel have remained tense.

On Friday afternoon, a large number of Yemeni people gathered at a square south of Sana'a, capital of Yemen, to express their anger at the killing of Nasrallah and their condemnation of Israel's continued violent actions against the Gaza Strip.

"The arrogance of Zionism will not last, the people will be motivated to respond, the resistance will respond. This long struggle will end with the demise of this entity (Israel) and the victory of the Palestinian people," said Muhammad Muftah, a senior official of Yemen's Houthi group.

In addition to Sana'a, people gathered in many other parts of Yemen on the same day to condemn Israel's actions.

Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Houthi group, delivered a speech on Thursday, calling on people from all over Yemen to hold large-scale rallies on the following day to support the Palestinian and Lebanese people.

The China Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (CCCEU) issued a statement on Friday, expressing strong dissatisfaction with the EU's protectionism measures to raise tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs).

The European Commission -- the executive arm of the 27-nation EU -- approved to impose tariffs of up to 45 percent on Chinese EVs after a pivotal vote on Friday, even after the bloc's largest economy and major car producer Germany rejected them.

The CCCEU urged the EU to act prudently, suspend the implementation of tariffs on Chinese EVs, and focus on resolving disputes and differences through talks.

This would help avoid the escalation of bilateral trade disputes, and jointly safeguard free trade and prosperity in the green and clean energy sectors on both sides, as well as worldwide, the chamber said in the statement.

The EU’s countervailing investigation against China's EVs is an unfair protectionist practice driven by politics. Imposing high tariffs will not only affect Chinese enterprises but also interfere with the production of EVs in China by European and other overseas enterprises, the chamber said.
