Why it matters:
The statement highlights the deepening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where Israel’s bombardment and blockade have driven hunger, thirst, and medical shortages to extreme levels.
The big picture:
Gaza is enduring unprecedented hunger and a collapsing health system amid relentless Israeli attacks.
In the West Bank, Israel is accelerating settlement expansion and isolating al-Quds from surrounding Palestinian cities.
Al-Houthi situates both Gaza and al-Quds within a wider Zionist project aimed at erasing Palestinian identity and Islamic sanctities.
What he’s saying:
Seyyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi:
“The suffering from Zionist starvation in Gaza is horrific, it is the crime of the century and the age. A quarter million children face slow death due to malnutrition.”
“The Israeli enemy bombed tents near al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, endangering patients, while hundreds were martyred and thousands injured this week.”
“The killing of child Amina al-Mufti, struck by a missile while carrying water, epitomizes Zionist brutality.”
On the West Bank:
“Israel is creating a new wedge to cut al-Quds off from the West Bank. The aim is full control and fragmentation.”
“Israel does not even allow the illusion of a Palestinian state. Its escalations against Al-Aqsa Mosque are deliberate steps to impose a new reality.”
“One of the most dangerous pillars of the Zionist project is the plan to demolish Al-Aqsa Mosque and replace it with the so-called temple.”
