The Kanaan Association for Palestine (KAP) kicked off last Thursday the First Cultural Ceremony to express support and solidarity with Palestinian people facing the Israeli occupation.
The ceremony came to deny the US Congress decision which considered al-Kuds as a capital of Israel.
In his speech, Yahia Mohammed Abdullah Saleh, head of the KAP said the association has conducted some activities to help the Palestinian people inside and outside the territories.
He pointed out that the association has sent some clothes and medicine to the Palestinians, and continues to support Palestinian students in Yemen.
He said the ceremony is an expression of support to Palestine and a denial of the US congress decision.
Abdulrahman Mahyoub delivered a speech on behalf of Yemeni political parties in which he stressed the importance of supporting the Intifadah, to bring freedom and restore dignity of the Palestinians and Arabs at large.
He said Yemenis condemn the biased US stand towards Israel and the interference of the US government in the internal affairs of the Palestinian people, trying to change their leadership.
Songs, poems and speeches were presented in the event. The participants also sent letters to the UN Secretary General and the US Secretary of State Department.
