Sana'a: Al-Sayyid Abdul Malik Al-Houthi has voiced strong criticism against the ongoing Israeli aggression in the Gaza Strip, attributing significant blame to American involvement.
According to Yemen News Agency, Al-Houthi highlighted that the majority of Gaza's residents have been displaced due to the continuous conflict. He condemned the Israeli efforts, supported by the United States, to impose a severe starvation campaign, which has lasted over a month and a half. This campaign, acknowledged by the United Nations, has resulted in substantial suffering due to a blockade on essential food supplies.
Furthermore, Al-Houthi emphasized that the demands made by Hamas are basic humanitarian rights for the Palestinian people, yet these demands are met with disregard by both American and Israeli forces. He accused these forces of attempting to bypass the prisoner issue, aiming to release prisoners without adhering to the previously agreed-upon exchanges. Al-Houthi reiterated that the suffering of Palestinian prisoners must not be ignored, and their plight remains a critical issue.
Al-Houthi also claimed that the Israeli actions in Gaza are backed by American military support, indicating a continuous supply of weapons to sustain what he described as a genocidal campaign. He mentioned that this support extends beyond Gaza, with Israeli violations of agreements in Lebanon being encouraged by American entities. Al-Houthi voiced concern that if Israel's aggression in Lebanon had succeeded, it could have led to a full-scale invasion of the country.
The leader called on the Muslim Ummah to strengthen its defensive capabilities against aggressors, highlighting that the oppressed Palestinian people deserve the right to arm themselves to protect their land and dignity. He criticized the international community for denying oppressed communities the ability to bear arms while Israel is equipped with advanced weaponry, including nuclear weapons. Al-Houthi concluded by asserting that the Israeli entity should be disarmed due to its threat and actions of genocide, and he criticized America's approach to the global trade system, suggesting a shift in its policies as its competitiveness declines.
