Sana'a - Saba:

Speech by Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Badruddin Al-Houthi (May Allah protect him) on the One-Year Anniversary of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

Sunday, the 3rd of Rabi' Al-Thani 1446 A.H. (the 6th of October 2024 A.D.)

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the outcast.

In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful.

Praise is to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. I believe that there is no god but Allah, the Sovereign and the Manifest Truth, and that Muhammad, our master, is His servant, Messenger, and Last Prophet.

O Allah, confer Your salat and blessings upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad as You conferred Your salat and blessings upon Ibrahim and the Family of Ibrahim. You are Owner of Praise, Owner of Glory! And be pleased with Muhammad's good companions and all Your righteous servants and mujahidin.

Brothers and sisters, peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

As one year has passed since the Al-Qassam Brigades begun the jihadist Palestinian operation of Al-Aqsa Flood—where a criminal Zionist aggression has been carried out against the Gaza Strip ever since, along with attacks on the West Bank and Al-Quds, and followed by a criminal, brutal Zionist aggression on Lebanon—we will briefly speak in this speech about the outcome of a whole year and what the events and developments have led to regarding the fronts of support and the international and regional reality, Allah willing.

We will begin by discussing the brutal, criminal outcome of the Zionist enemy's actions, specifically its targeting of the Gaza Strip, as well as southern Lebanon and Lebanon as a whole. Afterward, we will discuss the significance of the blessed operation of Al-Aqsa Flood, along with a commentary on its importance, results, and implications. We will also speak about our responsibilities as an Islamic ummah in the current stage in the light of the developments over the past year and about the future of this cause, based on these events and the Islamic and Quranic principles.

Regarding the scale of the Zionist enemy's criminality in its aggression against the Gaza Strip over the whole past year, the Israeli enemy has carried out more than 250 thousand airstrikes and artillery bombardments on the Gaza Strip, within a limited geographical area. There are approximately 150,000 martyrs and missing and wounded persons in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli enemy used around 100,000 tons of explosives, including bombs, missiles, and shells provided to it by the Americans to kill people in the Gaza Strip, seeking to annihilate them collectively—killing everyone: men and women, children and the elderly. Of these tons of explosives, more than 10,000 tons are ticking time bombs that have not exploded yet and are meant to booby trap the Gaza Strip and cause continued losses among its residents and population.

The number of martyr bodies that were not buried and did not reach hospitals, but disintegrated and decayed is 7,820. Their data has not been recorded among those admitted to the hospitals. Therefore, these are all estimates due to the extremely difficult conditions in the Gaza Strip. The disappearance of many bodies is because the Israeli enemy has used internationally prohibited American weapons and bombs, known to be internationally banned for use. Indeed, these are prohibited weapons of genocide and mass destruction. The Israeli enemy directly targeted civilian gatherings with them in various areas of the Gaza Strip.

The Zionist enemy mobilised all its resources, supported by America, Britain, and the West, to attack Gaza, the coastal city that is one of the smallest cities in terms of area (within a limited geographical area) and is densely populated. The Israeli enemy attacked it with an army consisting of 350,000 regular and reserve soldiers according to some estimates. It deployed around five military divisions that enjoyed intense naval, land, and air fire cover and military and intelligence support. No war in history has seen such brutal and savage cover that is carried out really intensely minute by minute.

Concerning the toll of criminal Zionist massacres in the Gaza Strip through which the Israeli enemy targeted the Palestinian people in Gaza, throughout a year marked by criminality, the Israeli enemy carried out approximately 3,700 massacres against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. With regard to the most horrific massacres, which will never be forgotten by anyone with a conscience and will forever remain a dark chapter in the history of humanity, there are the following examples, which are not an exhaustive list:

  • Human memory will never forget the massacre at Al-Mamdani Hospital, which claimed around 500 martyrs and left approximately 700 others wounded in a single strike.
  • Every person with a living conscience around the world will never forget the massacre at Jabalia Camp, where more than 400 Palestinians were martyred or injured.
  • There is the massacre at Al-Fakhoora School that resulted in 200 casualties, including both martyrs and injured people.
  • The curse of the Flour Massacre will pursue Zionists, and they will not escape its consequences. Its casualties were about a thousand martyrs and wounded individuals. The Israeli enemy targeted the displaced, spilling their blood on aid bags.
  • Humanity must not forget the massacre at Al-Shifa Hospital, which left 400 martyrs and injured individuals. In that massacre, 300 Palestinian patients (including children, women, and disabled people) were executed in cold blood; many of them were executed while in their hospital beds.
  • Seven mass graves were dug in hospitals.
  • There is also the Rafah tent massacre, where 300 Palestinians were martyred or injured.
  • There is the massacre at Nuseirat Refugee Camp, with 700 persons martyred or injured.
  • The Mawasi Massacre resulted in 400 martyrs and injured people.
  • The massacre at Al-Tabaeen School resulted in more than 100 martyrs and injured individuals.
  • shifting the balance of power in the region in favour of the Israeli enemy;
  • eliminating the Palestinian resistance movements in Gaza and the West Bank;
  • putting an end to the project of a Palestinian State;
  • dominating several Arab regimes and recruiting them and their armies to serve the Zionist enemy, fight for its sake, and confront its enemies—this also takes place under the pretext of the confrontation with Iran;
  • ensuring that the Israeli enemy remains the dominant military power in the Middle East;
  • redrawing borders, asserting regional control through making territorial changes, annexing countries, dividing others, and so on;
  • exploiting internal divisions in the Arab world to further fragment and dismantle peoples there and drive them to the lowest level of weakness and powerlessness and to complete collapse;
  • redefining the rules of engagement so as to allow the Israeli enemy to deliver painful, deadly, and destructive strikes in any Arab or Islamic country without the need for war and without facing retaliation or a firm position;
  • restructuring international alliances and strengthening Israel’s relations with major global powers,
  • and expanding Israel’s economic and political ties with emerging powers such as China and India, as this alliance with global powers grants the Israeli enemy strategic global influence.

The Zionist enemy has committed so many crimes, resulting in the killing of thousands of Palestinian people, including children and women, elderly and young people. These crimes included acts of collective massacres and the execution of children and women in the streets and roads, as well as the execution of elderly people, who are advanced in age, especially the sick among them, even when they are in their own homes.

Under the full observation of the nations of the world, primarily the Muslim countries in the Arab world and beyond, the enemy used every means of killing and extermination, in addition to killing with weapons and destruction and to the use of starvation as a means of mass killing, the like of which has never been seen in any country in the world.

America is a partner and financier in all the crimes committed by the Zionist enemy. It has been responsible for killing, as well as causing and funding the suffering of the Palestinian people for more than half a century and continues to do so up to date. Since the early 1970s, America has supplied substantial amounts of arms to the Israeli enemy, a role that emerged after the decline and retreat of British and Western influence, when their forces and armies were practically involved in the attacks the Israeli enemy carried out against Arab countries in the 1950s and 1960s. Subsequently, America took on the role of supporting the criminal entity.

During a year of the aggression against Gaza, the war devil, America, has constructed an aerial and maritime bridge to supply the Zionists with the most lethal means of killing and extermination. Indeed, hundreds of giant cargo planes, along with more than one hundred ships, transported tens of thousands of tons of those criminal means.

The Americans hastened immediately to engage in this aggression and supplied billions of dollars' worth of weapons to support the entity of the Israeli enemy. On October 8, which marks the very second day, the Americans promptly provided two billion dollars. Just during the first three months of the aggression, it made more than one hundred arms deals and dispatched over two hundred forty cargo planes and more than twenty ships filled with weapons to the entity of the enemy.

Arms deals continue to be made monthly and have not stopped throughout the year, with the latest deal worth billions of dollars occurring last month. It is rare for an arms deal to be delivered without the next one being ready. This is in addition to the massive deals and gifts of fighter jets, helicopters, and drones, along with administrative and intelligence support, as well as sending fleets to threaten the countries of the region, engaging in a real war with Yemen, and committing repeated assaults on Iraq. All of this is for the sake of supporting the Israeli enemy and participating in its aggression and crimes.

With the acknowledgment of American reports, Israel spends most of the American tax funds to purchase weapons and equipment made by American arms manufacturers. That is, they acknowledge that Israelbuys American weapons using American money, without losing a dime. This is in addition to the grants, donations, and secret deals, which are numerous. Also, they acknowledge that, although Israel has its own weapon manufacture, it heavily relies on American planes, bombs, and other weapons in its aggression against Gaza. Since October 2023, America has shipped tens of thousands of tons of weapons, which is acknowledged by the Israeli army to be crucial in supporting the operational capabilities of the Israeli military in its aggression against the Gaza Strip.

Politically, America mobilised and acted aggressively to obstruct and stop five Security Council resolutions intended to impose a truce or ceasefire. It declared its opposition and used its veto to stop that. Moreover, American leaders travelled to the Zionist entity to show solidarity and support, led by the criminal American President Biden (the most prominent official of the devilish administration in Washington), who has visited the entity about ten times .The American thuggish authorities brutally suppressed student demonstrations at the American universities and acted savagely against peaceful students, simply for refusing the crime of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

America sought to keep Arab and Islamic entities away from action with false and illusory hope through its deceptive efforts under the guise of ceasefire, which was never achieved. In fact, it was a process of calming down aimed at covering up the Israeli enemy's crimes at the political level to continue.

Regarding the Zionist criminal acts in the Gaza Strip, in targeting the educational sector, the Zionist aggression has deprived 800,000 Palestinian students of education in the Gaza Strip: over 650,000 in primary and secondary education, more than 100,000 students in higher education institutions, and over 35,000 students in kindergartens. Additionally, since the beginning of the aggression, approximately 12,000 Palestinian children of school age have been martyred, along with 750 teachers and educational staff, 1,100 university students, and 130 scholars, academics, and university professors. The Israeli enemy has destroyed 93% of school buildings in the Gaza Strip, either completely or partially. It has destroyed approximately 650 schools, as well as about 130 administrative and academic facilities in universities, colleges, and institutes in the Gaza Strip.

Similarly, at the health level, the Israeli enemy has nearly completely destroyed the health sector in Gaza. It targeted all hospitals and health centres, totalling 162 health facilities and hospitals, a significant number of which are now completely out of service. The rest provide only the minimum level of health services. Furthermore, it also targeted health personnel in a systemic way through killings and abductions. During the year, approximately a thousand health workers have been martyred. The Israeli enemy have also kidnapped more than three hundred health workers.

Regarding the targeting of mosques in Gaza, in its declared war on Islam, it has destroyed 814 mosques. This represents 79% of the mosques in Gaza. It violated the sanctity of the mosques, burnt copies of the Quran, and killed people who were praying inside the mosques. The latest of these massacres occurred last night when a mosque in Deir Al-Balah was bombed and destroyed while sheltering displaced individuals. Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and injured as a result of this crime.

The Israeli enemy also systematically and deliberately targets cemeteries in Gaza, as it has targeted 19 cemeteries, eight of which were completely destroyed.

Similarly, in the West Bank, there are intense assaults by the Israeli enemy targeting the Palestinian people. The Zionist crimes in the West Bank are not a result of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation. Rather, they represent a historical continuum of crimes against the Palestinian people and Islamic sanctities. Since the Israeli enemy set fire to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, along with previous Zionist crimes, the massacre at the Ibrahimi Mosque, and the crimes of killing, abduction, torture, intimidation, and the desecration and destruction of sanctities, these actions continue as a normal pattern of Israeli practice. Before the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, everyone can recall the criminal Operation Breakwater, when the Israeli enemy launched an assault on the West Bank), resulting in the martyrdom of more than one hundred Palestinians, particularly in Nablus and Jenin.

During the past year, the enemy has escalated its crimes and brutality against Palestinians in the West Bank. It significantly expanded operations of killing and abduction. The number of abducted individuals exceeds eleven thousand Palestinians, and the martyrs are nearly 750. The number of injured individuals surpasses 6200.

The criminal herds of usurpers, referred to as 'settlers', have increased their hostile actions against the Palestinian people in the West Bank through their aggressive attacks and land seizure from Palestinians. Some statistics have recorded nearly one thousand four hundred assaults by these herds of usurping settlers during the past year.

Twenty-eight Palestinian residential communities, comprising hundreds of families and thousands of Palestinians, have been displaced. In its effort to displace Palestinians from the West Bank, the enemy continues its policy of demolishing Palestinian homes and facilities. According to a United Nations report, the Israeli enemy has demolished over one thousand seven hundred Palestinian facilities, including more than seven hundred inhabited ones. The enemy has executed the largest land seizure of Palestinian territory in the West Bank in over thirty years. The total amount of land seized during the first half of 2024 is approximately twenty-seven thousand dunams.

The Islamic sanctities at the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque have been subjected to significant violations. Tens of thousands of Zionists, with some estimates indicating over fifty thousand Zionists, stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque. During those incursions, they engaged in all forms of provocation and desecration, including singing, dancing, chanting Zionist myths, blowing Jewish horns, and insulting Islam, the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&F), Muslims, and the Palestinian people. The criminal Zionist minister Ben-Gvir publicly announced his intention to build a Jewish synagogue at the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Additionally, an amount of up to half a billion dollars has been allocated to organise and finance these incursions.

This is the criminal and aggressive path, which is not the result of the Al-Aqsa Flood or anything that followed, but rather comes within a historical context marked by aggression and criminality by the Israeli enemy. Since the unfortunate Balfour Declaration and the beginning of bringing the Jews into Palestine, the Zionists have followed a policy of committing massacres and brutal slaughters against te Palestinians. Estimates indicate that dozens of massacres and crimes of genocide had been committed by Zionist gangs against the Palestinian people before the declaration of the establishment of the entity. Moreover, after the illegitimate birth of the enemy's occupying entity, it continued its policy of committing crime and massacres against the Palestinian people in a significant and repeated manner, including the notorious massacre at Deir Yassin.

Those early massacres had a goal: to satisfy the instinct for killing and criminality, as well as to cause the displacement of millions of the inhabitants of Palestine from their homes, villages, and towns during the years between 1948 and 1949. The genocide being perpetrated by the Israeli enemy in the Gaza Strip is an extension of those methods. Through those methods, the Zionist enemy seeks to erase the Palestinian identity and displace the Palestinian people from their homeland in order to replace them with the occupying Zionists and create a fabricated and false Zionist identity on Palestinian land.

The war of genocide being waged by the Israeli enemy against the Palestinian people and against Arabs is also infused with elements of Zionist myths: When the criminal Netanyahu addressed the Zionists in one of his speeches in October 2023, he said, '"You must remember what the Amalek has done to you," says our Holy Bible.' In reality, neither he nor any of the other criminal Jewish Zionists follow a holy book; they have rejected all of Allah's teachings and disbelieved in all of Allah's Scriptures. They are the extension of the criminal path followed by the killers of Allah's prophets. They follow the instructions of devils, including that satanic text, which has nothing to do with Divine Scripture or teachings; rather, it is a fabrication of devils, in which they say, 'Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.' This is their approach, and this is their culture and beliefs!

Many Zionists have repeated the war of genocide against Gaza and Arabs under the label of 'the holy war'. A holy war is how they consider the extermination of the Palestinian people and other Arab peoples, along with the killing of children, women, and everyone else in acts of genocide. Indeed, one of the criminals, a rabbi, ordered in a lecture that the Zionists must not leave any soul alive. They view this as part of a war they describe as holy! Thus, they seek to kill life as whole and completely exterminate the living. That is the Jewish perspective towards all Arabs and towards all Muslims. It cannot be confined to a specific Arab or a specific Muslim, but rather applies to every Arab and every Muslim.

In the face of all that criminality, tyranny, war of genocide, starvation, and severe blockade, the steadfastness of the mujahidin in Gaza has been remarkable, as has the steadfastness, patience, firmness, and cohesion of the residents. The steadfastness of the mujahidin and the Palestinian people in Gaza is seen as significant and historic, unparalleled in the history of the Palestinian people and in the history of Arabs in their conflict against the Israeli enemy, especially given the scarcity of resources and the state of blockade and passivity that history has never witnessed. This steadfastness has proven that resources, equipment, and armaments do not represent a decisive factor in battles.

For a whole year, the resistance factions have continued the battle and fighting against the Israeli enemy, although the Americans are partners with it in its aggression, supported with the vast resources of the West. The resistance factions are engaged in the battle and fighting against the Israeli enemy with great steadfastness in a very small area. It has been completely under blockad for nearly twenty years since the Israeli enemy withdrew from it. The Israeli enemy has continued to control everything that enters and exits Gaza.

For comparison, major countries with vast resources, large armies, and extensive territories did not withstand for days or weeks when faced with an invasion that surpassed them in capabilities, even if only slightly. Their armies retreated and declared their surrender to their opponents in numerous historical instances:

Therefore, in the face of all the Israeli aggression, savagery, and criminality and the long-standing oppression experienced by the Palestinian people, Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was an absolute necessity in every sense of the word. It comes within the framework of the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to confront the Israeli enemy, which is a criminal, occupier, usurper, killer, and oppressor and has no legitimacy whatsoever, neither in its occupation of Palestine nor in its oppression against the Palestinian people or in the crimes it commits against them.

Al-Aqsa Flood is a heroic Palestinian act that is based on what is right in every respect, as a natural response to the aggressive and criminal war against the Palestinian people on their land, spanning over 105 years of occupation, land theft, killing, genocide, displacement, and attacks on sanctities. This period of time includes 30 years of British criminality and Zionist Jewish gangs that Britain brought to Palestine, followed by 75 years of Zionist occupation and criminality.

Indeed, it is a tragic history of excessive bloodshed of the Palestinian people and intense animosity, rooted in myths, false narratives, illegitimate ambitions, lies, and fabrications. So Al-Aqsa Flood is a natural extension of Palestinian resistance and steadfastness, which crystallised in the First Palestinian Uprising in the 1980s and the Second Palestinian Uprising in the early 2000s, after the failures of Arabs and their abandonment of Palestine, starting with the humiliating agreements in 1974 and the subsequent total Arab evasion and abandonment of Palestine.

In recent years, the Israeli enemy, with widespread Western support and Arab conspiracy and collusion, sought to carry out a dangerous scheme aimed at eliminating and completely burying the Palestinian cause. Moreover, the Western world pushed the traitors from among the Ummah's munafiqin towards an agreement of humiliation, submission and apostasy under the title 'normalization'. And things were moving in this direction, with one Arab country after another falling into the Zionist embrace, and others were getting ready to jump into the enemy’s clutches, surrendering to it and fully liquidating the Palestinian cause.

The Palestinian people, who were suffering immensely due to the blockade, daily killing, and land confiscation, saw no hope on the horizon or light at the end of that dark tunnel into which the Israeli enemy had driven them with the support of the West and Arab munafiqin. In fact, the aim was to tear Palestine apart and obliterate its cause, while the enemy achieved its goals without even paying any price or suffering any loss. Thus, the Resistance factions realised the inevitability of confrontation.

Al-Aqsa Flood achieved great successes that only traitors, pro-Zionists, degenerates, and ignorant fools would deny. The Israeli enemy was on the verge of complete collapse and utter destruction, were it not for the Western and Arab attempts to rescue it, and here we see the Palestinian cause coming to the fore once again and the schemes that the Israeli enemy and its Western and Arab supporters plotted, being utterly exposed and ending in failure.

Indeed, Al-Aqsa Flood revived the Ummah's spirit of embracing jihad in the cause of Allah without showing any weakness or surrender, no matter the sacrifices. It ended the swift wars the Israeli enemy was used to, drew it into a long war of attrition and confrontation, and exhausted both this enemy and its Western backers.

In addition, the Zionist enemy's ambitions, in reality, are not only focused on Palestine; rather, they extend to the rest of the Arab world and the neighbouring countries of Palestine, with a greedy desire to dominate the entire region. The Zionist enemy’s aspirations for Arab lands are not just tales or stories; rather, they are active projects being worked on in reality, with vast resources provided for them. The aggressive wars waged and are still being waged by Zionist gangs and the occupation of Arab lands bear witness to these ambitions. These ambitions are theorised and taught in their curricula and books, where they shamelessly, openly, and clearly express these dreams and fantasies.

The criminal Netanyahu held up a map before the world at the United Nations, entirely erasing the incomplete Palestinian state, and [some] Zionist soldiers carried a map of what they call 'Greater Israel' on their arms. Zionist leaders boast of these ambitions, while the Arab world remains in a state of passivity and escapism. The Zionist criminal, known as the Minister of Finance in the enemy's government, stood on a platform displaying a map that includes both Palestine and Jordan. That step should have provoked the Jordanian regime and stirred its anger, as well as the Arab leaders who brag about Arabism and keep speaking of the 'Arab embrace'.

The criminal Netanyahu openly declared his battle, through which he seeks to change the face of the Middle East. In fact, this declaration reveals the reality of these ambitions. Western reports gave an analysis discussing the criminal Netanyahu's hopes to change the strategic reality of the Middle East following the assassination of his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah by focusing on several points, which can be summarised as follows:

The bottom line is that he wants his aggressor, usurping, criminal entity to be the dominant and controlling power over the entire region so that this dominance could be used to establish global influence in the rest of the world and on other countries of the world, asserting its control, dominance, and hegemony over the region in a way that serves the interests of the Israeli enemy and allows it to gain global influence. This is the goal; this is the reality, and this is the challenge. These are the hopes that the Zionist enemy strives to achieve in the Arab world at the expense of the entire Islamic Ummah.

A British official working in the British Foreign Office was quoted acknowledging that Israel is a security state—this is how he describes it, though it is not a state; it is merely a brutal, criminal gang—and that it does not seek to be loved, but rather to be feared and dominant, relying on hegemony. He also acknowledged that Israel has never viewed war as a popularity contest. In other words, the Israeli enemy wants everyone in the Arab region and in the Islamic Ummah to submit to it in humiliation, disgrace, surrender, and complete subjugation to its absolute dominance.

The criminal Jared Kushner, the criminal Trump's advisor on Middle Eastern affairs, said: 'The Middle East is too often a solid where little changes. Today, it is a liquid and the ability to reshape is unlimited. Do not squander this moment.' These are their hopes and ambitions that pose a real threat to all Arabs and Muslims.

However, in their handling of these ambitions and in their response to what is happening in Gaza, the Arab regimes act in an unfortunate and disgraceful manner in every sense of the word. In the face of the Zionist aggression on Gaza and the horrific massacres and atrocities committed against the Palestinian people, we find some Arab countries spending billions of dollars to distract peoples, divert their attention from what is happening there, and corrupt them and push them towards other directions—towards frivolity and aimlessness in every sense of the word and towards shallowness, indifference, and a lack of responsibility. They spend billions to spread corruption, temptation, and distraction through parties filled with dancing, debauchery, and moral decay. As a result, they work to suppress any Arab or Muslim movement through various methods. Distraction is one of these methods. And media intimidation, through accusations, demoralization, exaggeration, discouragement, and fearmongering, are also among other tools they rely on to stifle any serious action that aims to support the Palestinian people.

An American report states, 'Almost as interesting though is what has not changed in the region: The Arab states have not come down harder on Israel. And Saudi Arabia is still flirting with normalizing ties with Israel despite what has happened in Gaza. That shows the durability of those ties.' It also reported that some Arab regimes act as a pressure group in the West to accelerate the pace of the armament of the Israeli enemy. In other words, they are working in the West to urge the Western countries to hasten military support for the Israeli enemy. Even Americans and people in the West are astonished by the actions of Arab regimes and governments and even by the positions of some Arab peoples.

Despite this passivity, the magnitude of that support for the Israeli enemy, and the extent of Israeli aggression, the demise of the Israeli enemy is an inevitable thing confirmed by religious, historical, and universal fundamentals, and it must come true. Despite all this passivity and despite all the wishes and hopes of the Israeli enemy, they are merely ambitions and desires that lack legitimacy and cannot benefit forever from the state of passivity and betrayal. Indeed, this can never protect the Israeli enemy from the inevitability of its demise.

The criminal enemy, along with its Western supporters, is fully aware of the inevitability of the demise of this criminal entity, the satanic plant, and the wicked tumour in the body of the Ummah. Their statements, discussions, speeches, researches, and studies always shed light on the demise of that entity.

In fact, the Israeli enemy itself believes in this inevitability. The criminal Netanyahu once stated that he would strive to ensure that Israel could reach its 100th birthday, and he added that history showed that no state for the Jewish people had lasted more than eighty years. This reflects the full awareness the most shameless Zionist criminal has regarding the inevitability of its demise.

This truth hardly leaves the minds of the leaders of the criminal entity, including the Zionist criminal Ehud Barak, who wrote an article in a Zionist newspaper expressing his fears about the demise of their entity. Many Jews who are presented as philosophers also acknowledge this truth; one of them also stated that the world has many images of Israel, but Israel has only one image of itself, which is a people on the path to demise.

This truth is even known to Western supporters, foremost among them being America. The notorious criminal Trump openly declared that the Israeli enemy would cease to exist within two years if he was not re-elected. Could he say the same thing about a possible demise if that involves any people in any other country, even a small one, that is a real country with a people who have deep roots, a true identity, and genuine and historical presence? No one could speak of the demise of such people in the same manner they speak about the Israeli enemy. That is because it is an illegitimate, usurping entity with no roots and lacking any foundations for survival.

In one of its reports, American intelligence also predicted the demise of the Israeli entity through reverse migration and the return of two and a half million Jews to America. In fact, a significant number of them still hold American passports and are prepared to flee at any moment. Additionally, one and a half million Jews are expected to flee to Russia and Europe, which are the regions from where they originally migrated to Palestine.

The Jewish psyche is almost preoccupied with the dialectic of survival and inevitable demise. The Israeli enemy cannot escape the crisis of existence, regardless of how many atrocities it commits or how deeply it indulges in criminality. This anxiety is exacerbated by the significant changes in the region, the growth of jihad and resistance movements, and the uprising of the Palestinian people that has been crowned with Al-Aqsa Flood and its sacred battle, which have reinforced the truth of the demise for the Zionists. This is why the Zionists have resorted to extreme levels of criminality in an attempt to evade this unavoidable reality.

On top of that, Israel has also become, with all its atrocious, terrifying, and brutal crimes, internationally and globally ostracised in this stage more than ever before. There are American acknowledgements that the Zionists are facing serious damages that may extend for generations. The signs of cultural and economic ostracism of Israel run deep, even in European countries, and the evidence of that occurred and was repeated in several countries. This is also true in Asian countries where some of them prohibit entry of Israelis carrying Israeli passports.

Similarly, regarding the decline in inbound tourism to occupied Palestine and according to surveys, it was found that the majority of respondents in thirty-one countries said that Israel is a source of evil. Additionally, between 130 and 150 countries reject the claims of the Zionists and the false American narrative that untruly alleges that Israel is acting in self-defence.

As for the Israeli aggression on Lebanon (which, according to official statistics, has so far resulted in a large number of martyrs, with the toll reaching 2036, and the wounded totalling 9653), Hezbollah and its dear mujahidin remain steadfast. In fact, the steadfastness of Hezbollah's mujahidin moves the mountains, and that is why we noticed from the initial Israeli attempt to advance at the borders of occupied Palestine with Lebanon, when it tried to advance a few meters, it encountered very fierce resistance and found itself in a real predicament, as the men and mujahidin of Hezbollah stood up to its forces at point-black range. This demonstrates their great level of patience and eagerness to fight the enemy.

Even before the martyrdom of his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him), the slogan of the mujahidin heroes of Hezbollah in all their battles was: 'We remain committed to our covenant, O Nasrallah.' Following his martyrdom, it is unequivocally evident and certain that this covenant has become more certain, more established, and more powerful. And the drive of loyalty for him flows like blood in veins. Just as his eminence the martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan (May Allah be pleased with him) affirmed that the front of Southern Lebanon, if attacked by the Israeli army, would turn into a quagmire, a trap, an ambush, an abyss, and a hell for the enemy's army, we say to his eminence, the martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan: 'Here are your heroic men, O martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan, fulfilling what you threatened completely, without any shortfall; and here are the enemies screaming and yelling after their first meter of advancement and now speaking of facing a harsh, costly, and catastrophic operation.'

Here are the heroic men of Hezbollah continuing and persisting in targeting sites, centres, military barracks, and usurped settlements in response to the enemy's targeting of civilians and in support of Gaza. Here, they are expanding their operations at a high pace. Have the foolish Zionist criminals lost sight of Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him)? Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him) resides in the hearts, conscience, spirits, arms, work, and diligence of tens of thousands of heroic mujahid fighters. His speeches, words, and instructions instil a sense of responsibility in them and provide them with more determination. Moreover, his martyrdom and sacrifices have transformed them into self-sacrificing mujahidin who enjoy insight and are capable of achieving victory by the will of Allah, the Almighty.

The martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him) had a speech during the fourth month of the aggression on Gaza. Part of what he said in that speech was as follows:

What we are doing in Lebanon, at the level of our supportive front for Gaza, is primarily a sincere response to the human, ethical, faith-based, and religious responsibility on each of us. Indeed, it is a response to this responsibility. With this, we are primarily in harmony with our humanity, ethical values, and legitimate, religious responsibilities, for which we will be questioned on the Day of Judgment, and we must prepare an answer for that. In this regard, we should let no blame of any blamer affect us. What is happening to the people of Gaza every day and every hour should shake the conscience of every individual in this world. It should stir the hearts of all people in this world. Everyone must recognise the responsibility: They should consider what they should do in the face of this aggression and this humanitarian catastrophe. They should consider, from a humanitarian and moral perspective, what they should say and what actions they should take and execute. What is even more important is to consider the responsibility before Allah, the Almighty. In this world, one may or may not be held accountable, and may or may not be questioned: After all, events come to an end, people forget, and the world is heading towards its end. What is more important and more serious is the responsibility on the Day of Judgment, when we will stand before Allah (the Almighty), when each of us will be asked about this bitter and painful incident. We will be questioned; everyone who has heard of this will be questioned. This responsibility does not concern solely the Palestinians, Lebanese, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Iranians, Iraqis, and Yemenis so that one can establish geographical boundaries between him and responsibility. It encompasses all humans: Every individual on the earth who has known, heard, witnessed, or realised what is happening to the people of Gaza bears a responsibility and will be asked on the Day of Judgment. Allah (the Almighty) will question humans. He will question individuals, groups, nations, and peoples. He will question individuals and groups about what they have done. What have you [all] done? Our foremost concern is to come on the Day of Judgment with our hands full, holding an answer we cherish and are proud of. Today, this answer is manifested in our martyrs, our blood, and our pains and sufferings. It is also reflected in facing dangers and challenges, confronting all possibilities, and accomplishing achievements and heroism. Moreover, it is seen in the presence of fighters on the frontlines under the toughest conditions, those who have their lives at stake. This is our answer on the Day of Judgment.

The martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan (May Allah be pleased with him), after his martyrdom, now has a sufficient and perfect answer that will absolve him from responsibility and bring him honour on the Day of Judgement, in the realm of reckoning and recompense.

This was all about the unfolding events. As a summary of what has been said, we find that the context in which the Al-Aqsa Flood operation took place is a clear one: a people under occupation for 75 years by the Jewish Zionists and before that by Britain and gangs from Jewish Zionist. That occupation has continued, accompanied by complete and absolute oppression, daily killings, rapes, house demolitions, land theft, and even targeting of olive trees. This is an addition to committing aggression against people, kidnapping them, and torturing them in prisons.

The Palestinian people and their dear mujahidin have every right to wage jihad in the path of Allah, to resist, and to work towards expelling the occupiers, reclaiming their land, and regaining their freedom and independence. [They have this right] by all consideration including religious, humanitarian, ethical, and legal considerations, even according to the charters of the United Nations and international law, to name a few. Therefore, when they carried out the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, they acted based on an absolute right by all considerations.

As we have said, it is a necessary operation in the face of unprecedented efforts and dangerous steps that were fully arranged to eliminate the Palestinian cause through blatant Arab collaboration and a joint programme between the United States, Israel, some Arab regimes, and Western countries. The course was clearly aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.

The Palestinian people have long suffered from having no support. Since the very first day the Zionist entity moved to declare its entity and sought to occupy Palestine entirely, the Palestinian people have been let down by most Arabs and most Muslims.

Neither the Arab region nor the entire Islamic world did see a serious mobilisation that could rise to the level of the challenges and dangers that targeted and affected the Palestinian people. Temporary, random movements took place during certain stages that saw some difficulties and challenges, and then quickly retreated and shrank. There was no well-studied, joint programme in the Arab world or the Islamic world in general to reach a decisive outcome in defeating the enemies in Palestine, supporting the Palestinian people, and preserving Palestine and its holy sites. After that, there was more than just passivity: There was marginalization and a deliberate sidelining of the Palestinian cause. This sidelining extended across most aspects of Arab life including the political interest, educational curricula, media coverage, and almost everything!

That continued to be the case all the way up to the complicity and conspiracy by some Arab regimes, which became evident through the path they call 'normalisation'. This path is one of allegiance to Israel, enabling it to dominate the region as a whole and to push others to fall into a state of surrender and submission and accept its leadership. It also allows it to play the role that the Americans and Western countries want for it in the region and ensure it is fully accepted, a role that was most recently expressed by the criminal Netanyahu as involving reshaping the Middle East to be under Israeli dominance, which can allow the Israeli enemy to have global influence.

Regarding the significance of the [Al-Aqsa Flood] operation, it holds great importance. It is necessary and has had profound impacts and significant outcomes, as it delivered a massive and severe blow to the Israeli enemy. The critical scene of the operation on October 7 is an impressive, monumental, and great scene. It inflicted a blow that shook all of Israel's arrogance and will therefore remain etched in Israeli memory.

Although the Israeli enemy had always presented its army as invincible and the strongest in the region and wanted all Arab countries and the entire Islamic world to stand in fear, humiliation, and submission before that army, the Israeli enemy was in a state of collapse, humiliation, defeat, and retreate when the Al-Aqsa Flood operation started. The Israeli entity was shaken to its core by a severe tremor. In response, the Americans immediately moved, along with the British and other Western countries, to address the state of collapse and the immense tremor that shook the Israeli entity. They all rushed to support, assist, and encourage the Israeli entity, actively engaging in the battle with it. The Americans, in particular, took the lead in aggression and criminality, fully mobilizing with support, participation, and assistance. It is well known what they have done since October 8th, and even on the very first day, and how they have continued their efforts throughout the past year

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood has brought the Palestinian cause back to the forefront of global attention after some attempted to completely erase it in order to make sure that it had no presence at the political and media levels and in terms of practical concern. They aimed to eliminate it entirely and thus pave the way for putting an end to it and confiscating all Palestinian rights.

It also slowed down and stopped the efforts led by those who called themselves as pro-normalization (the pro-Israeli faction). In fact, those people did not only direct their activities towards the internal arena of Palestine but also operated at a broader scale, as they sought to generally impose normalization of ties across the Arab world. They worked towards this goal. In fact, they were not content with following the path of deviation, betrayal, and servitude but also actively worked to steer everyone in the same direction. Consequently, all the countries in the region were to fall under Israeli domination, subservient and surrendered to the Israeli enemy. It is well known what efforts those countries, or those regimes, made while in that state of servitude, betrayal, and normalization.

They focused on the educational curricula and sought to distort them in ways that serve the Israeli enemy, and they sought to remove anything in the educational curricula or official educational activities in their countries that could help preserve the Islamic identity of our peoples or that could help maintain the correct perspective, the right position, the proper understanding, and the correct view towards the Palestinian cause and towards the Israeli enemy as an enemy.

These events that followed the operation of Al-Aqsa Flood and the operation itself have brought the Ummah back to the square of taking action, making effort, and seeking jihad in the path of Allah. They have revived the clash and confrontation with the enemy, which is necessary. Confronting the enemy is a must: Not confronting the enemy and performing jihad in the cause of Allah against the Israeli enemy means empowering the Israeli enemy to take control, enabling it to carry out its aggressive and hostile agenda against our Ummah. It operates while sticking to its wickedness, its malice and its hostile conspiracies, and it does not desire peace for any of the members of our Ummah, nor does it want them to even be in a normal state like the rest of the peoples on the earth. It wants everyone to be in a state of humiliation and submission. It also acts as an enemy of the Islamic religion of this Ummah and its values, and it wants to obliterate the features of Islam, all the important aspects of Islam. It is hostile even to the Ummah's sanctities—what they say about Mecca and Al-Madinah and about the rituals of Hajj, to name a few, is known from their books, statements, sayings, and more.

One of the very important results of this operation is that it has clearly sorted out the reality of the Ummah, revealing who is truthful and who is deceitful. It distinguishes between those who are sincere in supporting the Palestinian cause and standing with the Palestinian people, and those who, on the other hand, act in ways that serve the Zionist enemy at all levels. It identifies those who have turned their media outlets and mouthpieces into tools for the enemy: They always speak in ways that benefit the enemy, attempt to intimidate people and spread fear and panic among the Ummah, and seek to instil despair; and they, at the same time, work to level accusations and cast doubts on the mujahidin in all support fronts, as well as those in Gaza in the first place. They keep insulting Palestinians and discouraging others from taking any position to support them, committing all sorts of insults.

Regarding the battle and its developments, it is known that the Israeli barbaric aggression adopted tactics of genocide, widespread destruction, and then assassinations of leaders, such as its assassination of the martyr of the Islamic Ummah, the great mujahid leader Ismail Haniyeh (May Allah be pleased with him), its assassination of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, his Eminence the martyr Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him), and its assassination other leaders of the mujahidin.

The Israeli enemy used all its means of killing and destruction and also used the tactic of starvation and the continuous severe blockade against the Palestinian people in Gaza, as well as the destruction of healthcare infrastructure. It followed aggressive and criminal practices, but will that achieve the results it seeks? No matter the crimes committed, the genocidal acts, the targeting, and the assassinations, it will not reach the desired outcome, nor will it change the inevitable fate it is heading towards, which is collapse, downfall, and inevitable demise.

It is true that the Israeli enemy has proved to be able to commit murders and crimes and kill thousands of children and women, but could that be considered as a military achievement? Are acts of genocide, killing people in their homes, markets, mosques, schools, and killing thousands of displaced persons in shelters considered military achievements? Is dropping American bombs that destroy homes in cities, residential areas, and villages considered a military achievement? That is not a military achievement.

We witness the resilience and steadfastness of our dear fellow mujahidin in the Gaza Strip and how they continue to carry out military operations. In spite of the extremely severe blockade and comprehensive targeting they face in the strip and the very difficult situation, they continue their effort, inflict suffering upon the enemy, and destroy its military vehicles. This resilience, cohesiveness, and steadfastness are what truly constitutes a real and genuine achievement: They are in a real fight for what is right, and they continue to show cohesion in the toughest conditions and to, with the help of Allah (the Almighty), thwart the enemy's goals, which aim to fully occupy Gaza, eliminate any presence of the mujahidin there, displace the residents there, and retrieve its captives without a prisoner exchange deal. It failed to achieve those goals.

Starving children and women, starving the population in Gaza, besieging and depriving them of food and medicine—could that be considered as a military achievement? Is it a real and genuine achievement? That is not an achievement; it is a crime!

During this year, the Israeli enemy accumulated its immense record of atrocities rather than achievements. The same applies to its aggression on Lebanon, targeting some leaders of Hezbollah, including the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (May Allah be pleased with him). But could it be considered an achievement to destroy Dahieh, the southern suburb, with fire belts, to seek the destruction of villages in the south, and to destroy towns in various regions of Lebanon, killing women and children, the young and the elderly, men and women? Could that be considered an achievement for them? Did they not fail in the confrontation at the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine?

At the beginning of the ground operations, the enemy used an arrogant, tyrannical, and spiteful tone in declaring that operations and portrayed to everyone through its media and statements as if it would advance without any hindrance, and that no one would stand in its way, assuming that the morale of our fellow mujahidin in Hezbollah had been shattered by its crimes and targeting of leaders, including his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah (May Allah be pleased with him). But what was the result? The Israeli enemy was shocked to find that they remained as they were known before, even more so in their steadfastness, bravery, and resilience, as well as in their Hussaini spirit of faith and jihad, which remains firm with the help of Allah (the Almighty), Who instils tranquility in the hearts of believers and strengthens their hearts.

Here they emerged to confront the enemy at point-blank range, inflicting direct losses upon it, and under the call of 'Here we are, O Nasrallah,' they continue to deliver continuous blows through missile strikes reaching various areas targeted by these attacks. They stand firm and resolute, just as the Lebanese arena stands united in cohesion, solidarity, and cooperation, reflecting the majority of Lebanese factions and the Lebanese people who realise that this aggression poses a threat to all of Lebanon and that the Israeli enemy is an enemy to all Lebanese and poses a threat to all of them.

To their credit, our fellow mujahidin in Hezbollah were the first to act, over forty years ago, to confront the Israeli enemy, as Allah granted them the victory of liberation at the time and also enabled them to achieve the great historical victory of 2006 that led to the defeat of the Israeli enemy, preventing it once again from occupying Lebanon. By His grace, Allah will also grant them a significant historical victory in this crucial round of confrontation and escalation. Therefore, if the Israeli enemy imagines that by killing his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah (May Allah be pleased with him), it will weaken resolve, shatter spirits, and force surrender, then it is delusional and mistaken.

The sacrifices of the great leaders and the virtuous martyrs result in greater determination, bravery, steadfastness, and dedication. They also lead to a greater sense of responsibility to remain loyal to them and their just path, their just position, and their sacrifices in the cause of Allah (the Almighty) and within the framework of the just position. The mujahidin of Hezbollah act in this way, as they carry within them such feelings of nobility and loyalty and faith-based values, and they now have a greater sense of responsibility and feel a deep emotional and psychological impact upon hearing those calls, words, and speeches of his eminence Al-Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah (May Allah be pleased with him). Today, these words have a greater and stronger impact on the consciousness and souls of those who hear them, and give a greater motivation for action and steadfastness in their position. This is something that the Israeli enemy did not expect, as it fails to learn from the lessons of the past, neither in Palestine nor in Lebanon.

When the Israeli enemy targeted the great mujahid and martyr Ismail Haniyeh (May Allah be pleased with him), it was expecting the morale of the fighters of the Al-Qassam Brigades to collapse and for the Palestinian people to be disheartened, but the outcome was the opposite. Here are our brothers on the Palestinian front—the first front and the first line of defence against the enemy—standing firm. The same holds true on all fronts of jihad because the mujahidin there are driven by a high level of awareness and insight and a strong and unwavering faith when they set out to perform jihad in the cause of Allah, the Almighty.

Regarding the role of support fronts in general, one of the most significant features of this round in the conflict with the Israeli enemy over the course of one year has been the support fronts, including the Lebanese support front—which has transformed into a primary and active front against the Israeli enemy, much like the situation in Palestine—the Iraqi support front, and the Yemeni support front. These support fronts have continued throughout this year, heading towards escalating more and more against the Israeli enemy. They aim to enhance their capabilities further in confronting the Israeli enemy and supporting the Palestinian people and their dear mujahidin. This situation has been unprecedented in all the seventy-five years that have passed, although in certain stages, there were movements by some Arab armies that were quickly defeated and then halted such movements. There were also some other limited movements here and there. However, in this round of confrontation with the Israeli enemy, one of the blessings of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation is to see these steadfast and loyal fronts of continuous support standing in the arena of the Ummah and escalating more and more:

This is not to mention the [Yemeni] people's interaction that is unprecedented and unparalleled not only in the Islamic world but elsewhere. The continuous, tireless, and relentless million-man demonstrations and marches throughout all these months, all this year, in all squares, are unparalleled. Yemen itself has never seen anything like this before regarding any issue or position. The same is true for the Arab and Islamic world and the rest of the world.

Furthermore, we see the developments of the battle lead to the direct confrontation today between the Israeli enemy and the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has always been supporting the Palestinian people and their mujahidin and the mujahidin of Lebanon to the best of its ability. At the military level, it provides military capabilities and military training, as well as what it has provided in this aspect. It also provides political support unmatched by any Arab or Islamic country. This is not to mention media support and financial support. It also supports and stands with the support fronts, and here it is engaging in direct confrontation with the Israeli enemy.

The Israeli enemy is an enemy of the entire Islamic Ummah, and its evil was directed primarily towards the Arabs—even before the Islamic Revolution in Iran. It occupied Arab lands before any other lands, killed Arabs before others, captured Arabs before anyone else, and humiliated and disgraced many Arabs. All its evil targeted the Arab world. Even though Palestine is a Muslim country whose cause is an Islamic cause that should be pursued by all Muslims, it is Arab land, which makes it the responsibility of Arabs before anyone else.

The map of Greater Israel, targeting Arab countries, is known, expanding from the Nile to the Euphrates. This is not to mention the Zionist enemy's greedy ambition to control the Arabs. The hostile incitement in books, in curricula, and in Jewish education is directed towards the Arabs before anyone else.

However, the Islamic Republic of Iran fulfils its Islamic duty—even in a distinguished manner compared to all other Islamic countries, in the Arab region and beyond—in supporting the Palestinian people, their cause, and their mujahidin and in supporting the mujahidin brothers in Lebanon and the Lebanese people who have also been subjected to invasion, occupation, injustice, killing, and all types of crimes by the Israeli enemy. The same is true when it comes to standing with Syria and all Arab countries.

The Iranian position is an Islamic position that supports the Arabs before anyone else in confronting their enemy, which is the Israeli enemy, whose evil, danger, aggression, criminality, and occupation are directed towards them, targeting their own land. Where does the Israeli enemy expand but in Arab lands and the land of the Arabs; therefore, this issue is an issue that concerns all Muslims, and it concerns the Arabs more than others. The Islamic Republic of Iran stands as a Muslim supporter of an Islamic cause and Arab Muslims, the Arabs themselves. However, with their cunning and also with their treatment of some Arabs as silly ones, the Americans and Israelis describe the issue as an Iranian one and say to the Arabs:

You Arabs should not concern yourselves with what happens in Palestine, and it is not any of your business when the Israelis target Arab Lebanon, Arab Syria, Arab Jordan, Arab Egypt, or any Arab country. It is not any of your business that the Israelis occupy Arab Palestine, oppress its Arab Muslim people, steal their freedom and independence. It is not your concern whatever conspiracies Israel is organizing. Regarding its grand delusion of creating an entity that includes a large part of Arab countries and Arab lands from the Nile to the Euphrates, this is not your concern. Whoever moves against Israel to prevent it from occupying Arab land is Iranian and acts as a proxy of Iran; thus, he has no cause or position of his own. Any Palestinian who strives to reclaim his land, to defend their people, and to confront the Israeli enemy—which kills the Palestinian people every day, tortures the Palestinians in its prisons and detention centers, and perpetrates looting, destruction of homes, uprooting of olive trees, and seizure of lands—has no cause! Why does he do that?! He is just an agent for Iran. He should stop doing that. The Arabs should allow the Israelis to occupy their land and take away their freedom and independence; otherwise, if they stand against them, they are Iranian proxies.

What the Americans and Israelis has done in this regard an act of taking others for fools, and it was an American-Israeli logic that their Arab proxies absorbed. In fact, they keep repeating it day and night, as if we Arabs had no concern with the Israeli threat that targets us before others, and the historical Israeli aggressions against our Arab countries over decades. This reflects taking others for fools, this is denial of clear facts that are as clear as daylight, and it is also reflects disdain for Arabs, depicting them as having no concern for themselves, their issues, their land, their honour, their freedom, their independence, their dignity, their lives, or their affairs—they are only required to surrender to the Israeli enemy so they are not accused of being Iranian proxies.

Iran is a Muslim country, and since the beginning of the Islamic revolution, it has stood with Muslims to fulfil its sacred duty towards Islamic causes, foremost of which is the cause of Palestine, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the sanctities in Palestine. The battle has now reached its peak, and the Islamic Republic of Iran has entered into direct confrontation with the Israeli enemy. This direct confrontation involves the Islamic Republic of Iran—along with the Palestinian people and their mujahidin, the Lebanese people and their mujahidin, the free people of this Ummah, and the sons of this Ummah—and the Israeli enemy, which is an enemy to all Muslims, with Arabs being foremost among them. This is the undeniable reality of what is happening. Some proxies, those entangled in betrayal and servitude in favour of the Israeli enemy, and those obedient to America, try to draw a different picture and to misrepresent this reality in a false light devoid of truth. They portray the issue as if it was merely between the Israeli enemy and the Islamic Republic of Iran and had nothing to do with the Arabs, Muslims, or any of us whatsoever. However, what is happening concerns us by all considerations, including humanitarian, ethical, moral, Islamic, religious, national, and faith-based considerations. This is the truth about this issue, and its developments are at this level.

Therefore, we on the Yemeni front continue to uphold our principled, humanitarian, ethical, religious, and faith-based position in support of the Palestinian people and their mujahidin. We stand with our fellow mujahidin in Gaza, the Palestinian people in general, our brothers in Lebanon, our brothers in Hezbollah, the Islamic Republic of Iran, our brothers in Iraq, and all the free people of the Ummah who stand within the framework of fulfilling the sacred responsibility of jihad for the sake of Allah against the Zionist enemy, which is an enemy of Allah, an enemy of humanity, an enemy of Islam and Muslims, and an enemy of all Arabs. What the Zionist enemy is clearly committing is marked by that level of criminality, brutality, tyranny, and aggression and enjoys American partnership and support. This makes it evident that our collective responsibility is to stand against it. No one would stand with it except a criminal, oppressor, corrupt, and wicked person who violates lives and sanctities, and no one would discourage others from taking a stand against it except a hypocritical, treacherous person who turns his back to Islamic values, principles, and teachings.

On the Yemen front, we have launched over a thousand missiles and drones over the course of a year, and we have also used boats in the seas. Our armed forces have targeted 193 ships linked to the Israeli enemy and to America and Britain, and we have shot down 11 armed American MQ9 drones. Our military front will remain active. With the development of our capabilities, we continue our efforts to the best of our ability, and we strive for what is greater, as we often said before.

Regarding our activities at all levels, they continue to take place, including our public activities. The same applies to our activities in all other fields, including financial donations and more. Additionally, our media front is constantly active within the framework of this battle and this sacred position.

We move as a Muslim people, with a faith-based identity. We are the Yemen of faith and wisdom, whose jihad, position, and glory stem from its faith. We remain steadfast in this position, which is a jihad for the sake of Allah, carrying the banner of Islam and the banner of jihad for the sake of Allah, the Almighty. We are fully confident and firmly believe that Allah's promise will be fulfilled regarding the removal of the Israeli enemy: {'Then when the final [second] promise came, [We sent your enemies] to sadden your faces and to enter the mosque, as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had taken over with [total] destruction'}[Al-Isra 17:7]. The divine promise will be fulfilled, {'But if you return [to sin], We will return [to punishment]'}[Al-Isra 17:8]. It is a fixed divine practice in Allah's management, as it is within the framework of His instructions, His guidance, His laws, and what He has commanded His believing servants. It is a responsibility we undertake while trusting that Allah will fulfil this great promise.

We firmly believe in the inevitability of the enemy's demise, based on our faith in the book and verses of Allah and in Him, the Almighty. We have absolute faith in the inevitable loss of those allied with the Israeli enemy, as Allah mentioned in His holy book in Surah Al-Maidah and threatened them all: {'So you see those in whose hearts is a sickness hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful. Those who believe will say, “Are these the ones who swore their solemn oaths by Allah that they were with you?” Their deeds have gone to waste, and they became losers'}[Al-Maidah 5:52]. They will end up losers, filled with regret and exposed; this is their inevitable fate.In contrast, the inevitable outcome of the faith-driven position taken by the believers in fulfilling their sacred duty through jihad for the sake of Allah, with loyalty to Allah (Glory be to Him), is the outcome promised by Allah: {'Indeed, the party of Allah will be the predominant'}[Al-Ma'idah 5:56].These are the inevitable outcomes this battle and this conflict will lead to, regardless of the difficulties we encounter along the way, the sacrifices we make, and the challenges we face.

We are confronting the enemies at all levels. We are confronting the military aggression carried out by the Americans and Israelis against our country. During this year, they have carried out 774 air and sea strikes on our country, resulting in the martyrdom of eighty-two and the injury of three hundred and forty. Their military aggression, no matter how severe or far it goes, and regardless of the sacrifices, will not deter us from our position. We are facing and confronting them, and, with the help of Allah, striking their ships, warships, and aircraft carriers. We will not hesitate to do all we can in this regard and on this military front.

They are trying to play the economic and humanitarian card as a means of pressure on us. They have moved in this direction, yet our people remain patient despite the great suffering. Their media warfare never stops, and their propagandists remain active day and night, directing all their lies, false propaganda, fabrications, and myths against our people. However, our people today enjoy such a high level of awareness and insight that makes it impossible for their media to affect their awareness or succeed in sowing doubt in their position, weakening their resolve, or affecting their spirit and morale. Their political war is ongoing. They continue with their war that targets security. In fact, the security path is an important one, and Allah has granted us abundant support in it. The enemies have failed, as many of their networks and cells engaged in espionage or sabotage have been exposed and are now in detention centres and prisons.

We also continue our effort at the level of public activities in the Battle of the Promised Conquest and Holy Jihad, as they have reached 760,972 demonstrations, events, and public gatherings so far. The same holds true regarding mobilisation activities, including military marches, military parades, and other military activities such as manoeuver, which have reached 2,866.

This is great effort, and it befits this people. It stems from their faith, as I mentioned; it is a manifestation of their distinctive belonging to faith, which was acknowledged by the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&F) when he said, 'The belief is that of the Yemenites, and sagacity is that of the Yemenites.' We place our trust in Allah (the Almighty), our Great Lord: We do believe that all this effort and jihad, this honourable position, and these activities, deeds, and concerns (which stem from faith) will ultimately lead to the good outcomes, inevitable victory, honour, and dignity that Allah has promised His pious, believing, striving, patient, steadfast servants. Our dear people take pride in this position they hold, as it is indeed an honourable position.

Shame and blame lie with others: those who are complicit with the Israeli enemy, those who stand by its side, and those who support it in any way. Even those who support and endorse the Israeli enemy with a single word become partners in all the crimes it commits and become among the wrongdoers, the criminals, and those promised with the painful torture of Allah, just like it.

Our brothers in the Hamas movement have called upon our Islamic Ummah and the free people of the world to take to the streets on the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, on October 7, and to engage in demonstrations, marches, activities, and events. I say to our brothers in the Hamas movement,in the Al-Qassam Brigades, in the Palestinian resistance movements, in the Islamic Jihad Movement, in the Al-Quds Brigades, and in all other movements fighting in Palestine, 'We stand with you, and our people are your support, moving alongside you in every way possible, and as you make such a call, you will find our dear Muslim Yemeni people, with their loyalty, patience, and unique response, participating tomorrow (Allah willing) in an honourable million-strong turnout, unmatched in any country in the world.' I say this, and I know our dear people in their responsiveness, awareness, faith-bases motivation, loyalty, generosity, and deep concern for this cause, which they approach from a foundation of faith, responding to Allah (the Almighty) and striving in His path, Glory be to Him.

In response to the call of our brothers in Hamas, the turnout this week will take place on Monday instead of this Friday, as the anniversary of that great heroic operation marks a significant turning point in the Palestinian cause and deserves a wide public turnout and substantial engagement.

Therefore, I call upon you, our dear people, to take to the streets in millions tomorrow, Allah willing, in the capital Sanaa and in the other governorates and districts, according to the approved arrangements.

We ask Allah (Glory be to Him) to grant us all success in seeking what pleases Him, have mercy on our virtuous martyrs, heal the wounded among us, and set free our captives. We also ask Him to grant us victory in Palestine, in Lebanon, in Yemen, in Iraq, and in the Islamic Republic of Iran. We ask Him to grant our Islamic Ummah victory in its Islamic and religious position, its legitimate right, and its just cause.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
