— 🇾🇪/🇺🇳 NEW: After 9 years, all factions in the Yemeni civil war have reached an agreement to work towards a permanent settlement to end the conflict - UN

According to Hans Grundberg, special UN rapporteur to Yemen, the warring factions including the Houthis & the internationally recognized Yemeni govt. have agreed on basic steps towards peace, including:

1. A permanent nationwide ceasefire.
2. The improvement of basic living conditions throughout the country.
3. Resumption of oil exports.
4. Opening the roads in Taiz & easing the restrictions on Sana'a and Hudaydah ports.
5. An inclusive political process under UN supervision.

According to sources, negotiations regarding the political future of Yemen will begin in 2024, with a real possibility being the restoration of the country to its pre-1990 borders, which would mean the Houthis gaining legitimate rule over much of Western Yemen, including the nation's capital, Sana'a.

— 🇾🇪/🇺🇳 UN press release regarding the roadmap for peace in Yemen:

'The UN roadmap will include, among other elements, the parties’ commitment to implement a nationwide ceasefire, pay all public sector salaries, resume oil exports, open roads in Taiz and other parts of Yemen, and further ease restrictions on Sana’a Airport and the Hudaydah port.

The roadmap will also establish implementation mechanisms and prepare for a Yemeni-owned political process under UN supervision.'

This is super important.

Ansarullah (the Houthis) will now finally have their own internationally recognized state in the near future.

An Iranian-backed Pro-Resistance Axis state controling the Bab Al-Mandab and Red Sea for the next few decades is a huge blow to the US-Zionist project in the region.

Not to mention that Yemen will be able to receive Iranian arms shipments without any restrictions or foreign controls, considering they'll be recognized as a legitimate nation by the UN.

ISIS - Failed
Syrian Revolution - Failed
Kurdish Independence - Failed
War against the Taliban - Failed
War against the Houthis - Failed
Regime change in Iran - Failed
Occupation of Palestine - Failing

The US project for the Middle East is failing. It's only a matter of time before they will be forced to pack their bags and leave.

Merry Christmas to my Christian followers! May God's blessing be upon you all.

Jesus Christ and his values should be an inspiration for us all, especially during these dark times in the world.

I hope you have a wonderful time with your family & friends the next few days! 🎄✨🎁

ACT UPON TEACHINGS OF JESUS

Merry Christmas to the oppressed nations of the world, to the Christian nations and the Christians of Iran. Christ was a great messenger whose mission was to establish justice and mercy, and who with his heavenly words and deeds condemned the tyrants and supported the Oppressed

The 'Tala'eeyeh' anti-ship cruise missile, former designation 'Abu Mahdi', has a range of up to 1000km with pinpoint accuracy against large moving targets, meaning it can cover the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea.

— It was a small tree put up by locals, not a big tree or in an official square, for those wondering.

Bethlehem municipality limited all official celebrations and major decorations in solidarity with Gaza.

⚡️🇪🇬🇵🇸 Egyptian authorities have presented a mechanism for the de-escalation that would both insure a complete Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip and the return of Israeli detainees to Israel.

Israel has not rejected the proposal, and is supposed to review it in an official capacity on the 25th of December, while the response of Palestinian officials from Hamas and the PIJ is not noted - they were there in Cairo during the talks.

The Egyptian proposal includes "one or two weeks of ceasefire" in exchange for the release of 40 Israeli women, as well as any men above the age of 60 + the ones in dire medical need.

Thus concludes the first stage - the second stage involves an exchange of all bodies between the Palestinian and Israeli side, moving into the third stage - includes an All for All deal - all Israeli military personnel in captivity in exchange for the release of all Palestinians in Israeli prisons, followed by an Israeli withdraw from the Gaza Strip.

@themediterraneanman

📄 Hamas and other resistance factions are rejecting all current ceasefire and prisoner exchange deals, as they stress that they won't accept a temporary halt to this war.

The demand is to end this war, and that to be followed by the prisoner swap. This was rejected by the Israeli government who is adamant at achieving further damage to Hamas and increase pressure on Gaza to pay less for the hostages.
