Yemen: Between Escalation Options & Humanitarian Appeal for Palestine... Reading of Revolution's leader Speech
[27/ July/2025]
Sana'a - Saba:

At an exceptional time in the history of the Zionist massacres in Gaza, the speech of the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, opened a parallel front of awareness and responsibility, the military dimension blended with the humanitarian call, and the religious mandate of the peoples, placing Yemen once again at the heart of the global battle for Palestine.

The Leader of the Revolution's speech embodies a critical stage in the history of the Zionist aggression against Gaza, it carries within it a comprehensive reading of the tragedy and renews Yemen's position at the heart of the great liberation battle, amidst ongoing military escalation and an open humanitarian call in which cries of support rise from the land of faith to the heart of Palestine.

The speech emerged as a dual-dimensional strategic document: on the one hand, it affirmed readiness for further military escalation against the Zionist entity, and on the other, it renewed a call to neighboring regimes to open the crossings for Yemenis to cross into the fields of support, in a scene that reflects the exceptional presence of the Yemeni collective conscience.

The Leader of the Revolution laid out a clear equation in his speech: Punishing the enemy is not achieved through statements or denunciations, but rather through the continuous development of capabilities and opening the paths for the nation to take its place in the battle, at the same time, he warned against being drawn into the false peace claims promoted by Zionist regimes.

In parallel, the speech followed the path of moral documentation of the Gaza tragedy, the Leader of the Revolution described the past week as the darkest in the history of genocide. He recounted the situation of children and women with figures and facts, noting that the Zionist entity is turning killing into "entertainment" and disseminating it in crude videos that demonstrate the collapse of all human values.

The Leader addressed the horrific crimes committed against the children and women of Gaza, touching on the denial of food and infant formula, the deliberate starvation, and the scenes of genocide, these are no longer merely documented massacres, but rather a showcase for the enemy entity, in a blatant display of the collapse of all moral and international values.

In the face of this global moral collapse, the Yemeni position was not delayed. Rather, it was expressed by the Leader of the Revolution, who announced the study of additional escalation options and the continued development of military capabilities, not only to deter the enemy, but also to establish a new equation that would shift the balance of pressure.

The described suffering was not the purpose of the speech, but rather a prelude to formulating a practical position, stating that Arab silence is no longer merely a sign of incompetence, but rather a documented betrayal, silence regarding the crimes of starvation and genocide has become indirect participation in them, while the voices of Yemenis in the marches expose this complicity and offer a viable alternative.

The Leader of the Revolution expressed the failure of the propaganda and media campaigns that attempted to undermine the strength of the Yemeni position, emphasizing that the people's steadfastness in the face of aggression, siege, and Western propaganda is evidence of the steadfastness of the faith-based position in support of Palestine despite the challenges.

From the Gaza axis, the leader moved on to criticize the performance of Arab regimes, considering that freezing positions, perpetuating a culture of surrender, and pursuing normalization all serve the enemy and constitute its first line of defense in the heart of the nation.

The leader pointed to the strange paradox of regimes displaying sympathy in the media while supplying the enemy with food and fuel and continuing trade with it. He asked: By what standard is sympathy measured, and by what religion is hypocrisy understood?

When preventing demonstrations becomes a crime equivalent to murder, and the religious pulpit becomes a tool for silencing, it was necessary to dot the i's and cross the t's, the leader directly criticized Al-Azhar Al-Sharif and the positions of a number of Islamic and Arab regimes, which suppress every free voice and silence every prayer for Palestine.

The Leader of the Revolution praised the few honorable stances issued by the Grand Mufti of the Sultanate of Oman and the Grand Mufti of Libya, considering them a glimmer of hope in a long night of betrayal, he also expressed deep sorrow over the shameful silence of religious figures who traditionally issued fatwas calling for jihad in the arenas of sedition but remained silent in the face of the massacres in Gaza.

On the Yemeni front, the speech revealed the extent of the qualitative military operations carried out over the past period, emphasizing that Yemen entered the battle as a proactive, not a supporter, position, and that the naval blockade of the enemy entity is a strategic pressure card that will not cease.

The speech provided an accurate tally of military operations against the Israeli enemy, noting that more than 1,600 operations have been carried out, including hypersonic missiles and drones, confirming the seriousness of Yemeni support and its continuity despite the American and British escalation.

What's striking in the speech is the repeated reference to Yemen not only reacting but also seeking new escalation options, this suggests that the next phase may hold strategic surprises in the Red Sea and beyond, as part of the battle to break the siege and support Gaza.

The speech carried subtle indications that what is happening in Gaza is not a local crisis, but rather a moment of global testing, one in which the fate of values and consciences will be determined, international institutions will be exposed, and the slogans of democracy and human rights will be undermined before the eyes of the hungry and displaced.

In his speech, the leader did not forget to commend the heroism of the mujahideen in Gaza and the integrated resistance front, from the Qassam Brigades to the Al-Quds Brigades, and the accompanying field solidarity and qualitative cooperation, which has confused the enemy and deepened its psychological and field crisis.

With a strategic vision, he reviewed the global role of the Zionist movement, considering it the most dangerous global subjugation project, it not only targets Palestine, but also seeks to humiliate the nation, plunder its wealth, and subjugate its people through soft and hard genocidal projects, cloaked by the West under the guise of "peace."

The warning against the "disarmament" process formed a fundamental pillar of the speech, the Leader of the Revolution considered the attempt to disarm the resistance in Palestine and Lebanon a direct betrayal, the height of naivety, and even complicity in the genocide of peoples.

He emphasized that the disarmament of Hezbollah or Hamas is a Zionist-American demand that some Arabs are unfortunately implementing, he explained that these weapons are the only guarantee that these peoples will remain free and not torn apart, as happened in Sabra and Shatila.

The speech concluded with a return to the essence of popular action, calling on Yemenis to take to the streets in a massive million-strong demonstration, he emphasized that the repeated demonstrations are not merely symbolic, but rather a jihad for the sake of Allah and a living proof of the loyalty of the Yemeni people.

In a deeper reading, the speech expressed the Leader of the Revolution's awareness that Yemen is at the heart of a shifting global equation, the exposure of the true face of Zionism and the Western alliance presents a strategic opportunity to mobilize the nation, if only the nation could grasp this moment.

In complex political language, the Leader of the Revolution said what no one else had said: "Those who suppress marches in Arab capitals and prevent prayers for Palestine in mosques are merely subservient to the Americans and Zionists, performing the same security function in Arabic."

Because the context does not allow for equivocation, the Leader declared that the "peace" being promoted today is nothing but a veiled surrender, and that the project to completely eliminate the Palestinian cause is proceeding at an accelerating pace at the hands of the normalizing regimes, which have now become the enemy's guardians in the Arab world.

He described the prevailing situation as more dangerous than mere normalization. Rather, it represents a complete shift in the role of Arab regimes to those who guard the enemy's interests, discouraging the nation from any struggle, even symbolic ones, in a scene of documented collective betrayal.

Thus, the Leader of the Revolution concluded his speech with a decisive message: one to the Zionist enemy, that Yemen is coming with a new escalation, and another to the nation, that the opportunity still exists to join the front of dignity. "This is the time for jihad more than ever," he said. "The silent are partners, the coward is a traitor, and this moment does not tolerate neutrality."

This is the speech of a pivotal moment, when blood meets duty, and when fronts unite around al-Quds, not as a political title, but as an existential issue, in which the nation's battle with its enemies is summed up, and Yemen's position within it is redrawn, firm, present, and proactive.
