Sana’a - SABA:
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, reaffirmed that the Israeli aggression on Sana’a International Airport will not stop Yemen’s operations in support of the Palestinian people. He confirmed that the next phase will witness an escalation of operations, making them more effective and impactful against the usurping Zionist entity.
In a speech delivered today regarding the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza and regional and international developments, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the conditions of war in Yemen cannot prevent the country — neither officially nor on the popular level — from fulfilling its sacred duties.
He stated: “Any sacrifices we make for the sake of God are honorable sacrifices. We are in an active and jihadist position, striking the Israeli enemy. We aim to escalate our operations to support the Palestinian people, and our actions in the coming phase will be more effective and influential against the Zionist enemy.”
Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out that, unlike other countries like Syria where Israeli strikes go unanswered, Yemen — by the grace of God — has taken a dignified stance by targeting the enemy. He noted that Yemen’s position is both active and influential, which is why the Zionist enemy does not ignore it despite being preoccupied with confronting the Palestinian people.
He added that the Israeli enemy feels the weight and impact of Yemen’s active stance, considering this a great blessing. He also highlighted that over the past 20 months, there have been 2,112,701 popular activities — including demonstrations, rallies, and sit-ins — in support of Palestine.
He mentioned that Yemen has shown unprecedented enthusiasm for this cause. Just last Friday alone, 1,060 rallies and marches took place across cities and rural areas. He also touched upon the recent conclusion of summer educational camps, which have made a tangible impact in raising an ideologically, culturally, and religiously rooted generation.
Sayyed al-Houthi remarked, “The enemies’ deep annoyance at these summer programs greatly pleases us.” He also emphasized that the effectiveness and growth of Yemen’s comprehensive stance is clear evidence of the failure of the American escalation in its second round against Yemen. He called the failure of the American aggression a great success and divine victory for the Yemeni people.
He asserted that obedience to God and movement in His cause builds a strong, free, and dignified nation, capable of facing challenges. Responding to God, he said, brings life, power, and honor to the nation.
The revolutionary leader cited a statement by the U.S. Vice President acknowledging American failure in Yemen, noting that it signifies a major victory for Yemen. He pointed out that the U.S. has come to accept it can no longer dominate as it once did, realizing that it cannot win the battle in Yemen and is instead getting dragged into a costly and prolonged conflict.
Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that Yemen’s stance is a jihad in the path of God, a revival of a great sacred duty, and a contribution to the completion of faith and a shield from disgrace. He declared that the honor of Yemen as a fighting nation is part of its faith, and standing against the Israeli enemy and supporting Palestine means standing with the Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).
He questioned those who advocate alternatives to confronting the enemy: “Do they rely on international resolutions that the Zionists never honor?” He criticized the failure of these resolutions, particularly on Jerusalem, and stressed that the Qur’an warns of the treachery of the Jews.
Sayyed al-Houthi described Israel’s breach of every agreement with Arabs, while Arab regimes continue to promote peace initiatives that Israel neither values nor respects. He stressed that the only viable path with a clear divine promise is jihad, rooted in responsibility and nation-building.
He also addressed Yemen’s military role in the battle of the “Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad,” stating that Yemen’s armed forces launched 14 hypersonic and ballistic missiles and drones targeting Israeli sites in Jaffa, Haifa, Ashkelon, and Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat).
He reiterated that the Red Sea remains closed to Israeli-linked vessels, and maritime navigation for the enemy is still blocked from the Red Sea through Bab al-Mandab to the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
Sayyed al-Houthi once again called on five Arab and Islamic regimes to stop cooperating with Israel, noting that a large portion of goods delivered to Israel via the Mediterranean are transported by companies linked to these regimes. He criticized their actions as a betrayal of Islam and complicity in genocide in Gaza.
He began his speech by highlighting the continuation of Israeli genocide in Gaza for over 600 days, noting that the Palestinian tragedy spans 77 years and should not be reduced to recent events only. He referred to the murder of a Palestinian doctor’s nine children as one example of the ongoing horrors.
He condemned Israel’s deliberate targeting of displaced civilians, especially at night, and the targeting of children as part of its ideology. He described Israel’s food aid policies as deceptive, engineered to starve the population, and a mockery of humanitarian principles.
He warned that thousands of children face death by starvation and that daily deaths from hunger and malnutrition are taking place. He denounced the Israeli strategy of forcing Palestinians into confined areas for minimal food distributions while preventing the entry of thousands of food trucks.
He declared that any international organization supporting Israel’s food aid mechanism — including the UN — is complicit in the violation of human rights and international law. He called this starvation policy a crime against humanity and highlighted the continued destruction of Gaza’s healthcare system.
Sayyed al-Houthi detailed ongoing Israeli crimes in the West Bank, including killings, abductions, land theft, and settler violence. He denounced the burning of Palestinian homes and crops by Israeli settlers and called these actions part of a broader effort to fully occupy Palestinian territories.
He described the anniversary of the occupation of Jerusalem as one of the darkest days in Islamic history, urging the Muslim world to reawaken to its responsibilities and understand the threats to its sacred sites.
He noted that Israel’s goal to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque is public and that ongoing excavations — 27 tunnels so far — are weakening its foundations, especially under the southern wall. He warned that the site is in danger of collapsing.
Sayyed al-Houthi revealed that these excavations began as early as 2005 and were inaugurated six years ago with the participation of a U.S. ambassador. He insisted that the attacks on Al-Aqsa are not in response to “Operation Al-Aqsa Flood” but part of a long-term Zionist plan to Judaize Jerusalem.
He denounced the normalization and apathy of the Muslim world, contrasting their silence with the large-scale Jewish incursions into Al-Aqsa and their rituals aimed at erasing its Islamic identity.
He called affection for or allegiance to Zionists a moral and ethical collapse, saying that Zionist Jews have always expressed hostility toward Arabs and Muslims, including chanting “Death to Arabs” in Al-Aqsa Mosque.
He emphasized that the issue is not limited to Israel vs. Iran, as some media portray it, but is a broader Zionist enmity toward all Muslims. He decried the offensive chants of Zionists against the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Qur’an as part of their ideology and ongoing hostility toward Islamic values.
He warned of the dangers of desensitization and urged Muslims not to ignore or normalize the repeated blasphemies against their religion. He also discussed the corrupting effects of the soft war targeting Muslim beliefs, values, and morals to render them submissive to enemies.
Sayyed al-Houthi expressed outrage that many in the Muslim world show greater energy in stirring internal strife than in responding to blasphemy against their Prophet. He accused Israel of attempting to erase Islamic history and warned that what is happening in Palestine could be repeated elsewhere.
He concluded that the Zionist enemy has plans against all Islamic sanctities — including Mecca and the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina — and that ignoring this will only embolden the enemy. He praised Palestinian resilience as the main factor slowing Israel’s ambitions.
He highlighted the operations by al-Qassam Brigades, al-Quds Brigades, and other factions resisting Israeli incursions and launching retaliatory strikes. He noted that despite the deployment of five Israeli military divisions, the resistance remains strong, and the enemy responds with intensified massacres.
He praised the steadfastness of Gaza’s fighters against overwhelming military force and affirmed that their model deserves support from the entire Muslim world.
He warned that if resistance in Gaza had enough support, the situation would be very different, especially considering the full U.S. backing of Israel, including weapons, funding, political and media support, and even incitement to genocide by U.S. Congress members.
He also reflected on the anniversary of Lebanon’s Liberation and Resistance Day as a pivotal moment in the Arab-Israeli conflict, and highlighted ongoing Israeli aggression in Syria as a warning that no one is safe from Israeli attacks.
Sayyed al-Houthi concluded by urging the Yemeni people to stage mass rallies tomorrow in Sana’a and other provinces in support of the Prophet, Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islamic sanctities, and the Palestinian people.
He emphasized that this massive turnout is an act of jihad in the path of God and deserves full mobilization. “Tomorrow is a day of mobilization and loyalty. I hope the turnout will be vast, great, and mighty.”
