Yemen's Ansarullah Movement Leader Highlights Global Awareness of Zionist Aggression

In a compelling speech on Thursday, Abdul Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, the Secretary General of Yemen's Ansarullah resistance movement, emphasized the growing global awareness of the oppressive actions of the Israeli regime against Palestinians. Al-Houthi remarked, "The oppression of the Palestinian nation and Israel's crimes have led to an increase in the awareness of human society."

Al-Houthi stressed that the ongoing conflict in Gaza serves as a critical test for humanity, stating, "The oppression of Palestine and the crimes of the Zionist enemy have significantly contributed to raising awareness in societies where the glorification of Zionism has been ingrained for centuries." He criticized Western nations for their unwavering support of Israel, arguing that silence in the face of Israel's crimes undermines human dignity and the right to life.

US Weapons Used Against Palestinian Refugees

Condemning Israel's brutal actions, al-Houthi highlighted the targeting of Palestinian refugees with American-made smart bombs. "The Israeli enemy is attacking refugees in areas it claims are safe, effectively turning these locations into ambushes for the Palestinian community," he asserted. He further noted, "Palestinian refugees are being attacked by American smart bombs, typically used against large armies."

US Concerns Over Support for Gaza's Resistance

The Yemeni leader also pointed to the discontent of the United States regarding the comprehensive support the resistance axis provides to Palestinians. "The support of the Resistance Axis for the Palestinian nation and the Gaza Strip does not please the Americans," al-Houthi stated. He praised the solidarity shown by resistance groups in Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon, stating, "The support fronts of Yemen, Iraq, and Lebanon have set new standards in the war against the enemy."

Al-Houthi's Critique of US Military Movements

In a pointed remark, al-Houthi mocked the recent withdrawal of the US aircraft carrier "Eisenhower" from the region, saying, "Your elephant did not escape from a mouse, but from lions. The Yemeni army is a mighty lion that will challenge you."

Ongoing Violence in Gaza and the West Bank

Since October 7, 2023, with substantial support from Western countries, Israel has intensified its military operations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, leading to severe casualties among Palestinians. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 38,243 Palestinians have been killed and 88,033 injured since the conflict's escalation, with many victims being children, women, and the elderly.

Historical Context and Calls for Resolution

The establishment of the Israeli state in 1948, following the 1917 initiative by British colonial powers and subsequent Jewish immigration, has led to decades of conflict. Al-Houthi's speech underscores the ongoing call from several nations, led by the Islamic Republic of Iran, for the dissolution of what they term the Israeli colonial regime and the repatriation of Jews to their countries of origin. The situation remains a focal point of international contention, with significant implications for regional stability and human rights
