Gaza: Palestinian, Arab, and Islamic reactions have been ongoing regarding the statements of the American ambassador in the occupied Palestinian territories, Mike Huckabee, in which he expressed no objection to the Israeli entity seizing a "vast area of the Middle East" based on religious claims under the slogan "from the Nile to the Euphrates." This statement aligns with other American statements, such as that of US Senator Lindsey Graham, who justified the Zionist entity's use of destructive force in Gaza.
According to Yemen News Agency, these statements affirm the existence of a genuine partnership between the Zionist entity and the American administration in all the crimes committed by the Zionist enemy and the acquisitive and colonial projects it pursues, threatening the stability of the region based on biblical myths that demonstrate the danger of this usurping entity.
Palestinian resistance factions denounced Huckabee's statements, considering them to affirm the partnership and alignment between the Zionist entity and the American administration, representing a complete embrace and adoption of the crimes and genocide committed by the Israeli enemy against the homelands of the Arab nation at all criminal levels, culminating in the consolidation of Zionist hegemony and control over Arab land.
The factions explained in a statement that these aggressive statements clearly indicate the Zionist entity's intentions to expand at the expense of Arab countries under mythical Talmudic slogans and justifications, and that the American administration is a participant in the criminal expansionist settlement planning and paves the way for it media-wise.
The factions added that the American administration's deafening silence regarding these statements confirms the Trump administration's acceptance and lack of opposition to them, pointing out that these anti-Arab and anti-Muslim statements indicate that the battle has become clear and open, not only political but also a doctrinal religious battle aimed at dismantling, weakening, and tearing apart major Arab and Islamic countries in preparation for controlling them.
The resistance factions called on Arabs and Muslims to wake up, affirming that these statements are but a clear indication of Zionist colonial ambitions, with American support aimed at imposing a path of surrender, subjugation, and submission on everyone.
The International Body for Supporting the Rights of the Palestinian People "Hashd" also condemned in the strongest terms the statements issued by the American ambassador in the occupied territories, Mike Huckabee.
It denounced the statements of American Senator Lindsey Graham, which included justification for the use of extensive destructive force against the Gaza Strip, considering that these positions are not merely transient political opinions but dangerous inciting rhetoric that supports policies of annexation, settlement, and mass killing, and undermines the rules of international law.
The body explained in a statement that relying on religious narratives or historical accounts to justify annexation of territory by force constitutes a flagrant violation of the UN Charter, particularly Article 2(4), which prohibits the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity of any state. It also contradicts the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention and relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 242 and 2334, which affirm the inadmissibility of acquiring territory by force and consider the occupied Palestinian territories subject to the provisions of international humanitarian law.
It affirmed that the danger of these statements goes beyond legitimizing the crimes of annexation, expansion, and killing, to include justifying the targeting of civilians, including children, journalists, and humanitarian workers, by describing them as combatants or legitimate targets, which represents moral and political complicity in crimes that may amount to war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide.
It added that this American discourse intersects with the expansionist ideologies of the "Israeli" government headed by war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, which seeks to entrench a permanent colonial settlement reality based on genocide, ethnic cleansing, colonial annexation, forced displacement, and erasing Palestinian national identity, within the "Greater Israel" project, threatening the Palestinian people, affecting the sovereignty of Arab states, and undermining regional security and stability.
Arab and Islamic countries condemned the statements, including the Republic of Yemen, where the Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, affirmed that the statements of the American ambassador "Huckabee" express the United States' direction in providing all forms of support to the Zionist enemy, enabling it to control the Arab region, and imposing dominance over the nation.
The Leader pointed out in his fifth Ramadan lecture on Sunday evening that Huckabee's statements express his country's policies and affirm the American position supporting the Israeli enemy in its endeavor to control the region, its peoples, countries, and wealth.
He noted that the Israeli enemy reneges on commitments, and its American guarantor is a partner in all its crimes, aggression, goals, and conspiracies. He said, "Despite the enemies' reliance on deception, like Trump's council, they are practically clear in their daily crimes against the Palestinian people."
The Leader of the Revolution explained that daily killing crimes in Gaza and the demolition of buildings have not stopped, the starvation and siege continue, and grave violations in the West Bank by the Israeli enemy persist.
He also affirmed that the enemies are increasingly targeting Islamic sanctuaries, foremost among them Al-Aqsa Mosque, imposing more restrictions that limit worshippers and access to it, explaining that the enemies have set a specific ceiling and number for the allowed worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, a very dangerous hostile step.
He stated that "one of the ultimate goals of the Jews is the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque, ending it as a great sacred Islamic landmark, and replacing it with their alleged temple."
Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi pointed out that intensive Zionist aggressions, through airstrikes and other forms of attacks, continue against Lebanon despite agreements and guarantees.
He stressed the need to "realize well that we are a targeted nation, and we are a nation facing this Israeli-American tyranny," noting that Israeli-American-Jewish tyranny is exposed and clear, and its titles expressing its explicit goals are obvious.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry considered the statements of the American ambassador clear evidence of the United States' active involvement in the expansionist wars waged by the Zionist entity.
Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said in a post published on the Iranian Foreign Ministry's account on "X," monitored by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), that these statements come concurrently with policies of colonial genocide against the Palestinian people.
He affirmed that his country, in parallel with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, condemns these "extremist ideological discourses."
He explained that they contribute to the Zionist enemy's increasing persistence in its crimes against Palestinians and push it to escalate its ongoing attacks on the region's countries.
The foreign ministries of 14 Arab and Islamic countries, in addition to organizations including the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, also expressed their "strong condemnation and deep concern" over Mike Huckabee's statements.
The countries and organizations affirmed that the American ambassador's statements represent a flagrant violation of international law and the UN Charter, considering them "dangerous and provocative" and a direct threat to the region's security and stability.
