Sana’a - Saba:
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, issued a stern warning to anyone who dares to side with the Israeli enemy, describing such stances as acts of betrayal, treachery, and criminality. He affirmed that the Yemeni people will take a firm and decisive stand against such tools of betrayal.
In his speech addressing the latest developments in the aggression against Gaza and the regional and international situation, Sayyed al-Houthi stated:
“Those who serve as tools for the Israeli enemy must realize that this country is marked by its greatness, unity, popular awareness, and unwavering steadfastness. It is a solid stance grounded in faith, awareness, and presence.”
He emphasized the widespread public mobilization and readiness, describing it as critical in confronting enemy conspiracies—whether through direct aggression or via proxies and collaborators within the region who align with the Zionist enemy and its American backers.
Touching on the Yemeni front in what he called the “Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad,” he confirmed that Yemen’s supporting operations are ongoing, with ten missile and drone attacks carried out this week, including a strike on Lod Airport.
He announced the initiation of the fourth phase of operations, targeting ships belonging to any company that does business with Israel or transports goods to it, stressing that these actions are necessary given the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Sayyed al-Houthi noted that Israeli officials and Western media have acknowledged the effective closure of the “Umm al-Rashrash” port (Eilat), marking it as a significant defeat.
He praised Yemeni scholars for their active engagement and expressed hope that other Arab and Islamic countries would emulate this model. He lauded the pro-Palestine march by Sana’a University students and questioned the silence of other academic institutions in Arab capitals.
Al-Houthi opened his speech by detailing Israeli crimes in Gaza, particularly the suffering of children, citing that 100,000 children are at risk of starvation, including 40,000 infants lacking milk. He accused Israel of deliberately targeting infants as part of its military operations.
He condemned the level of brutality, including attacks on women during childbirth, forced displacement, and the intentional overcrowding of Palestinians into just 12% of Gaza’s area.
The Revolution Leader described Zionism as a product of deep-rooted, violent extremism. He said Israel attacked over 4,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—this week alone despite announcing a so-called “humanitarian truce.” Many of those targeted were seeking food, and Israel uses “death traps” and starvation tactics as weapons.
He criticized the West’s complicity and manipulation of public opinion through controlled media narratives and questioned the legitimacy of aerial aid drops, describing them as psychological operations designed to humiliate Gazans.
According to al-Houthi, Israel has destroyed Gaza’s agricultural sector and continues its policy of total destruction to make Palestinians entirely dependent. He warned that Israeli barbarity is no longer a secret, and even in the West, growing public dissent is met with suppression, especially in countries like Germany and the U.S.
He called for real action—not just statements or condemnations—against Israel’s crimes, and emphasized that Israel relies entirely on U.S. support and does not care about international opinion.
He accused some Arab regimes of complicity, especially Saudi Arabia and others who have opened their airspace and airports to Israel and maintain robust trade relations with it. He also lamented that Arab oil fuels Israeli tanks and jets bombing Gaza, while Arab regimes prevent humanitarian action.
He denounced the labeling of Palestinian resistance as terrorism, calling it a betrayal, and urged Arab regimes to support Palestinian fighters and declassify them as terrorists. He also called for grassroots pressure from Arab populations to overcome their governments’ paralysis.
He criticized Arab regimes for continuing tourism and diplomatic ties with Israel, while millions in Gaza suffer. He said even the Palestinian Authority collaborates with Israel, offering no protection to its own people.
Al-Houthi emphasized that Israeli aggression thrives in the absence of accountability, and it will only escalate unless met with forceful resistance. He called the Israeli regime inherently criminal, shaped by false doctrines and violent ideology.
He said Israel is a threat to the entire world, and stability in the region is impossible as long as Israel exists in its current militarized form, backed by the U.S. and Western powers.
He referenced the situation in southern Syria, despite full concessions in past negotiations, and noted over 800 documented Israeli violations there, including killings, kidnappings, and destruction.
He called for a radical shift in consciousness and awareness in the Muslim world, stating that the region’s inaction is driven by corrupted leadership and systemic spiritual decline.
Sayyed al-Houthi condemned Western hypocrisy, especially France, Germany, and the UK, which continue to arm Israel while offering token gestures of support to Palestinians.
He argued that international institutions like the UN are irrelevant and biased, having recognized Israel while doing nothing for Palestinians.
He expressed dismay over Egypt’s silence despite being the largest Arab nation and its direct geographic link to Gaza. He warned that ignoring Gaza’s plight is spiritually and morally damning for the Muslim world, saying that God’s retribution will come.
Al-Houthi described the struggle in Gaza as the most sacred battlefield, and rebuked those who only embrace jihad when it serves sectarian agendas engineered by the U.S. and Israel.
He concluded by commending Palestinian and Lebanese fighters, naming Ismail Haniyeh (likely a mistaken reference, as Haniyeh is alive as of the latest reports) and Fouad Shukr among those martyred, and stated that their efforts are the primary reason Arab nations have not fallen entirely under Israeli control.
He called on Yemenis to continue mobilizing, noting that over 1 million have completed military training, and emphasized that the mass demonstrations in Sana’a and other provinces are a key factor in maintaining Yemen’s anti-Israel stance.
