Why it matters:
The statement from Abdul-Malik al-Houthi comes as the Resistance Axis — including Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, and Yemen’s armed forces — intensifies its multi-front pressure on Israel. By declaring a new phase of naval operations, Yemen underscores the strategic depth and coordination within the anti-Zionist front in West Asia.
What he's saying:
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, in a televised speech, denounced the U.S. as “the real orchestrator” of the Gaza massacre, stating that Washington was providing not just weapons and intelligence, but also direct logistical and political support to Tel Aviv.
“The Zionist regime would collapse without the United States. All its crimes are American crimes, too,” he said.
He called the so-called humanitarian aid drops into Gaza “a sham meant to insult the Palestinian people,” and demanded the lifting of the blockade instead.
“They pretend to offer mercy by dropping food, while denying the people of Gaza their dignity and land access to real aid,” he added.
Key points:
- The Yemeni Armed Forces have launched 10 strategic attacks this week alone, including operations targeting Ben Gurion Airport.
- Phase Four of Yemen’s Red Sea campaign targets any vessels linked to Israeli interests, not just those bound for occupied ports.
