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.”
Go deeper:
Al-Houthi linked Gaza’s starvation and Jerusalem’s isolation to a calculated strategy, not isolated incidents. He warned that the Zionist project seeks to erase Palestinian and Islamic identity, urging Muslim nations to confront it directly rather than rely on negotiations or rhetoric.
