Iran Press/West Asia: In a televised speech on Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi stated that the Israeli military had carried out over 30 attacks during the week, resulting in the deaths or injuries of more than 1,300 Palestinians, the majority of whom were women and children.
“The Israeli enemy, failing in military confrontation and unable to achieve its declared goals, has resorted to a criminal approach of widespread targeting of civilians,” he said.
The Ansarullah chief expressed deep regret over the inaction of Arab and Muslim nations, saying it attests to their dire moral, humanitarian and religious bankruptcy.
Houthi said Israeli troops are perpetrating the most heinous atrocities in the northern Gaza Strip, adding: “They are implementing a policy of starvation to control the local population after failing in military battles against Palestinian resistance fighters. Gaza-based combatants have dealt significant blows to the Israeli state.”
Some Arab regimes, he said, don’t believe yet in the terrorist nature of Israel despite all the horrific crimes that the regime has committed in the occupied Palestinian lands and elsewhere.
“The Zionist project targets the entire Muslim and Arab world. Israel seeks to exert absolute dominance over the West Asia region,” Houthi said.
“Once Muslims begin fulfilling their obligations towards Palestinians, God will support them.”
The Ansarullah chief touched on the outcome of the US presidential race, which gave Donald Trump another term in the White House, saying successive US presidents have been in the service of the Israeli enemy and the Zionist project.
Trump will fail to end Israel-Palestine conflict
Yemen's Amsarullah Leader added: “The outcome of the US election will not affect our principled support for Gaza. Neither Trump nor outgoing President Joe Biden can dissuade us from our firm stance in supporting the Palestinian nation.
He stated that the region has already experienced Trump's presidency and knows he primarily focuses on making money.
“Trump views rich Arab countries as cash cow, and regards the poor as miserable. He has worked hard to make some Arab regimes serve Israel.
“Trump will fail to subjugate Muslims no matter how much sedition he stirs up,” Houthi said.
Lebanon Continues Resistance
The Ansarullah chief stated that Lebanon's Hezbollah has recovered after the martyrdom of its leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, due to an Israeli airstrike on September 27. He added that the group's intensified operations testify to this fact.
He added: “Israel is surprised by the level of Hezbollah’s operational capabilities and the scope of its painful military attacks."
Houthi also praised the "effective and influential" operations carried out by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, despite facing significant political and propaganda pressures.
“The Zionist regime is in a difficult situation despite persistence in committing horrendous crimes,” he said.
Houthi underscored that Yemenis will stand firm on the path to support Palestinians, vowing that Yemeni armed forces will not stop their anti-Israeli operations as long as Gaza and Lebanon are under attack.
He encouraged all segments of Yemeni society to take to the streets nationwide on Friday and join large pro-Palestine demonstrations.
“Yemen’s millions-strong rallies send a message to the United States and all other tyrants of the world,” the Ansarullah leader said.
