Sanaa: The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, has announced Yemen's intention to meet Saudi Arabia's actions with a policy of "siege for siege," in response to what he describes as comprehensive escalation efforts by the Saudi regime.
According to Yemen News Agency, in a recent speech addressing the ongoing situation, Sayyed Abdulmalik highlighted the intensified suffering of the Yemeni population due to Saudi measures, which he links to broader American and Israeli agendas. He criticized the lack of humanitarian relief during the de-escalation phase and emphasized Yemen's right to access its resources and wealth.
Sayyed Abdulmalik accused the Saudi regime of exacerbating the humanitarian crisis by tightening the siege when Yemen expressed support for the Palestinian cause, particularly during the "Al-Aqsa Flood" event. The speech detailed the economic strangulation and deprivation faced by Yemenis, including restrictions on oil and gas resources which are vital for the nation's economy and public services.
He highlighted the prolonged suffering imposed on the Yemeni people, comparing it to the plight of Palestinians in Gaza, noting that essential goods only reach Yemen at high costs due to the Saudi blockade. Sayyed Abdulmalik also accused the Saudi regime of attempting to subjugate Yemenis and manipulate media narratives to justify their actions.
Further, he addressed historical grievances, recalling past aggressions by the Saudi regime against Yemeni pilgrims and linking these actions to broader colonial objectives involving British interests. Sayyed Abdulmalik criticized the Saudi regime for its role in regional instability and its efforts to suppress Yemen's potential as an oil-producing nation.
The Leader condemned the Saudi regime's alignment with Zionist objectives, referencing its relationship with figures like Jeffrey Epstein as evidence of moral corruption and betrayal of Islamic values. He called for an investigation into the gifting of the Kaaba's Kiswah to Epstein, underscoring the regime's perceived contempt for Islamic sanctities.
Sayyed Abdulmalik reaffirmed Yemen's resistance against foreign domination and emphasized the nation's historic resilience against invaders. He urged unity against Zionist schemes and criticized certain Arab regimes for their alliances with Zionist and Western powers, which he claims undermine regional stability.
In closing, he reiterated Yemen's commitment to resisting Saudi-American aggression and supporting Palestinian causes, highlighting the development of Yemen's military capabilities despite the siege. He called for a unified Islamic response to confront the Zionist agenda and protect the rights and dignity of the Yemeni people.
