Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi said in his speech today regarding the latest developments , ‘I turn to our dear people and I call upon you with the call of God, I call upon you with the call of Al-Aqsa Al-Sharif, the call of the oppression of the Palestinians, the cries of their children, the tears of the bereaved and orphans, to the two-million exit tomorrow in Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana’a, and the various provinces, to support Palestine and Al-Aqsa.’ .
He urged the continuation of demonstrations and marches, adding, “Continue and continue, do not get tired, do not lose heart, and do not become weak as long as the aggression against the Palestinians co
ntinues. Your exit and your position are a response to God, part of your jihad for the sake of God, and an expression of your loyalty, brotherhood, honor, and tribe.”
The continuation of the Yemeni position:
Revolution Leader affirmed that the Yemeni people will continue their steadfast and principled stance with the Palestinians, their just cause, and their valiant resistance.
He said, “The advantage of the Yemeni position is the stability of the position, and neither American-British aggression nor the other means and methods of pressure that they tried to exercise against the Yemeni people affected it, including the issue of humanitarian aid, which they made a means of aggression against Yemen.”
He added, “The American is preventing humanitarian aid from millions of Yemenis in supporting the Zionist enemy, and to further protect the Israeli crime against the Palestinians in Gaza,” stressing that the Yemeni people will continue to remain steadfast in their position as long as the Zionist enemy continues
to shed Palestinian blood and commit more Zionist crimes against the Palestinians.
Revolution Leader stressed the necessity of continuing mobilization, military training, other events, activities, and demonstrations as long as the aggression against Gaza continues.
He also stressed that the weekly exit of two million Yemeni people recorded a blank page in Yemen’s history and its humanitarian record.
He continued, “The steadfastness and continuation of the two-million-man protest is an important feature in the position of our people that expresses the extent of faith, awareness, and sense of responsibility. It testifies to the steadfastness of our people and translates it into an integrated practical stance, from launching missiles to going out in demonstrations. It expresses manhood, honor, and non-destruction because the enemy wants to break the will of the Yemeni people.”
He stated that the enemy considers the retreat from attendance, even at the level of demonstrations, as a defeat, retreat, and weakne
ss.
He also pointed out that attendance at demonstrations expresses a sense of responsibility and demonstrates well-being, moral integrity, and humanity.
Revolution Leader urged the continuation of the weekly attendance of two million people, because it is of utmost importance in thwarting many of the enemies’ plots , plans, and at the same time represents an obstacle for the enemies towards their plots.
He said, ‘If the enemies had noticed that there was a weakness in popular interaction, they would have pinned some hopes on that.’
He addressed the Yemeni people by saying, “Your attendance on one day of the week in the demonstrations has this value, as it is part of your jihad for the sake of God and your human, faith, and moral responsibility.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi stressed that the Yemeni people’s exit in the capital, Sana’a, and the provinces expresses their faith, loyalty, manhood, and courage, in confronting America, Britain, Israel, and in defiance of the forces of hegemony , a
rrogance, and to express their condemnation of the brutal crimes of the Zionist enemy in Gaza, and not to ignore the painful scenes of the tears of the bereaved and the cries of children and women in Gaza.
He added, “You attend the squares because your conscience, your faith, and your feelings are alive, and because you are still a human being carrying human feelings, and overflowing with these feelings in your conscience. You go out for this reason and consideration. It is not an ordinary exit. Coming out at this historical stage, and within the framework of this important position of the Yemeni people, has meaning and importance.” A great departure that expresses loyalty, faith, values, courage, freedom, dignity, and support for the Palestinians, who are part of the nation.’
He continued, “We go out to demonstrations, even in the rain, to translate our faith identity and to express the truths and evidence of the Prophet’s hadith, ‘Faith is Yemeni, and wisdom is Yemeni.’ Also, going out in demonstrations i
s a response to God and the Messenger of God, and to the requirements of faith affiliation and human conscience.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi explained that going out in demonstrations is extremely important, and it is accessible, available, possible, and one should not get bored in front of it.
He said, ‘The mujahideen in Gaza are patient under a barrage of bombardment, missiles, and destructive and deadly shells, in a state of hunger, thirst, and other forms of suffering. Shall we not be patient to go out to the squares one day a week?’ To express our support for a comprehensive position against launching missiles and drones against the Zionist enemy.’
The leader promised the million-man exit as a message to the world that the Yemenis stand by the Palestinians and make them aware that there are free voices that emerged on the day many countries and peoples remained silent, an heard voice with a position, a voice carrying weapons , a rifle, a voice present for giving and taking a position at
all levels.’
The Zionist aggression on Gaza:
The Revolution Leader pointed out that the American-Zionist aggression against Gaza continues for the 19th consecutive week, committing the ugliest and most heinous crimes against the people, killing thousands of children , women, destroying civilian houses, and adventuring in committing heinous crimes.
He explained that the destructive bombs and missiles provided to the Zionist enemy are the latest technologies of America, Britain and some Western countries, so that this enemy excels in committing heinous crimes in Gaza by supporting the forces of evil with the most deadly and modern means of destruction and killing.
He said, “These high-explosive bombs are intended to confront armies that have military bases and huge military equipment, but they are dropped on the heads of children, women, and infrastructure in Gaza. This massive level of destruction and the continuation of crimes at a high rate in Gaza is due to the Americans for their superiority over Zioni
st capabilities.”
He added, “The Israelis would not have inflicted all this comprehensive destruction and horrific crimes on Gaza Strip without the American support provided to them,” considering that the Americans are primarily responsible for the level of destruction , crime in Gaza and its continuation for all this time.
Sayyed Abdul Malik pointed out that the Americans provide huge funding for heinous crimes and activated emergency provisions twice, as if the Israelis were part of the American army. He pointed out that the Israeli enemy transferred more than 25 thousand tons of American shells and missiles to kill children , women in Gaza , destroy houses, as well as The American is directly involved in aviation, espionage , reconnaissance to provide the information necessary to build plans and operations.
He stated that the American participates with experts and in the meetings of the Israeli War Council due to his partnership in the operation and aggression against Gaza, provides protection at the re
gional level to the enemy entity , pressures , encourages some countries to take negative positions towards the people of Gaza.
He also stressed that American pressure forced countries to fail, weaken the Islamic position, and provide secret support to the Zionist enemy, and confront the free forces that support the Palestinian people, including the aggression against the Yemeni people.
The leader reviewed American political support for the enemy entity in the Security Council, using his veto to veto any humanitarian decision in favor of the residents of Gaza.
Zionist entity airstrikes in Gaza:
The revolution leader stated that the total air raids launched by the American-Zionist enemy on Gaza amounted to more than 46 thousand raids on a limited, densely populated geographical area, with the amount of explosives used by the enemy targeting Gaza equivalent to four atomic bombs of those dropped by America on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
He said, “During the first two months alone, American officials adm
itted that the Israeli enemy dropped 29,000 American-made bombs on Gaza, and some reports indicate that America provided 3,000 bombs weighing up to 2,000 pounds, in addition to other types.” He indicated that American bombs have the ability to Entire neighborhoods were destroyed, with deadly shrapnel extending up to 365 meters in Gaza
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi pointed out that the Israeli enemy used toxic white phosphorus bombs, with a burning temperature of up to 800 degrees Celsius, according to the Israeli enemy’s admission that it fired more than 90 thousand shells and artillery missiles into Gaza within 50 days. The Zionist enemy also used various weapons to make Gaza Strip unsafe fit for life according to Zionist statements.
The humanitarian situation of the people of Gaza:
The revolution leader considered the health situation in Gaza Strip catastrophic in light of difficult circumstances in which epidemics are preparing to spread, medicines and clean water are lacking, , the remaining hospitals i
n Gaza are besieged and the enemy is creating a new tragedy there, as is the case with the Nasser Medical Complex.
He touched on the practices committed by the Zionist enemy, by stealing citizens’ houses, which were not targeted by the Zionist bombing, the soldiers did not reach them even at the checkpoints to take, plunder and steal the money they owned.
He pointed to the horrific violations that Palestinian women prisoners are exposed to that affect human dignity in the enemy prisons, as a type of crime committed by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian prisoners.
He denounced the despicableness of the Zionist enemy in exhuming two thousand graves, stealing more than 300 bodies, stealing vital organs from them, and destroying 13 cemeteries in the provinces of Gaza Strip. He explained that the situation had reached the point where the enemy’s male and female soldiers were showing off and bragging about killing and executing children, as if they were heroics that they were recording for history.
The Z
ionists’ danger :
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi said, “We are facing a dangerous enemy that poses a danger to all human society and an enemy that denies all values, morals, rights, and laws. The view of the Zionists must remain that they are not just opponents, but hateful enemies to a degree that man cannot imagine.”
He praised the cohesion of the Palestinian resistance and its heroism in Gaza Strip, which is constantly being harassed by the Israeli enemy. There are bold and courageous operations carried out by the resistance against the entity’s gangs. The dead and wounded among the Israeli enemy’s soldiers are increasing, and the morale of its soldiers is shattered.
He stated that the statements of leaders and officers of the Israeli enemy reveal the ambitions of the Israeli enemy in Sina’ and its focus on them. He asked, ‘In exchange for the American support for the enemy entity, most recently the $14 billion package, announced by the American President, where is the Arab support for Palestine?’
Sayyed
Abdul-Malik mentioned that Arab countries have huge budgets that spend enormous amounts of money on absurd and trivial matters, reviewing the positions of the Arab and Islamic countries, where many stand in the position of laziness and some stand in the position of colluding with the enemy and aiding the enemy in secret.
The fronts continue:
The Revolution Leader reiterated that the fronts supporting Gaza in Lebanon, Iraq and Yemen continue, including the Hezbollah front in Lebanon, which is constantly rising and harassing the Israeli enemy, as well as the mujahideen in Iraq, who have not yielded or retreated despite the American targeting of them.
The Yemeni front continues and is influential:
The revolution leader said, ‘Our front in Yemen is continuing, effective, and influential despite the American and British aggression in support of the Israeli enemy.’ He stressed that the American-British aggression is an aggression that has failed in achieving its goals, as the enemies themselves admit.
He state
d that the American and British enemies recognized the influence of the Yemen front in supporting Gaza on the Israeli enemy and its economy, and with their aggression against Yemen, they got themselves into trouble and admitted their failure to impose a deterrence strategy.
He added, “Our operations at sea have had the effect of preventing the movement of ships linked to the Israeli enemy, almost reaching point zero.” He considered the operations of the Yemeni armed forces at sea to be a strategic shift in the reality of the region and to have a major impact on American and British influence.
The American threat equations are over:
The revolution leader confirmed that the equation of threatening the American while everyone is watching has ended. Today there are those who do not submit to America , do not submit to its threats , stand seriously , sincerely to support the people of their nation and the Palestinian people.
He said, “What is taking place is a strategic shift and new equations have emerged on
the scene for the benefit of our entire Islamic nation,” expressing the hope that other countries will be encouraged by the free direction that the nation and its people need after the Americans achieved in the past beyond what they dreamed of.
He also confirmed that Yemen’s position overturned the American goals and created a shift, new equations, and very important variables. The operations of the Yemeni armed forces at sea against the Israeli enemy stopped its movement in Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea while it was among the largest beneficiaries. Indeed, it was among the largest beneficiaries of the commercial movement in the Red Sea.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik stated that Israeli imports and exports, according to the enemy’s statistics for the year 2020, amount to about 133 billion dollars through Bab al-Mandab, and since Sana’a announced the decision to prevent the passage of ships linked to the Israeli enemy, the losses to the economy of the usurping enemy entity have doubled.
He added, “With the recognition
of the Israeli enemy, the operations of our armed forces led to the almost complete closure of Umm al-Rashrash port, which was receiving about 7 million tons of goods and products and from which large quantities of exports were also issued.”
He pointed out that all food supply chains to the enemy that were passing through Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab were halted by 70 percent, and the prices of goods in the enemy’s markets rose by 30-50 percent after he was forced to divert his supplies through Good Hope.
The Leader cited the Israeli Ministry of Economy and Industry’s admission that the Red Sea operations harmed its trade relations with 14 countries, as well as the loss of the competitiveness of its exports and led to a decline in the entity’s total imports of products by 25 percent during the past months.
He pointed out the reluctance of international shipping companies to deal with the Israeli enemy and they no longer respond to it in transporting its goods, that international ship insurance companies refus
ed to insure ships heading towards the occupied Palestine ports, required Israeli and American ships to pay additional amounts of up to 50 percent, which amounts to to a percentage of the value of the ship itself.
He explained that the rating of the strength of the Israeli enemy’s economy decreased after it was one of the 15 largest strong economies in the world. He considered the decline in the rating of the enemy’s economy following its aggression against Gaza and the Red Sea operations an important success and a real victory.
He said, “The American Retailers Association complained about the worsening problem in the Red Sea and its delay in shipments and increased costs. The impact of the operations on the British has reached such a degree that it even affects the level of shortages in some types of tea.”
Sayyed Abdulmalik reiterated the complete failure of the Americans and the British on the military level to protect ships linked to the Israeli enemy, and the enemies’ insistence on continuing to fail i
nflicts on them huge costs without success or impact in limiting Yemeni military operations.
He added, “This week, our operations targeted ships linked to the American and a ship linked to the Israeli enemy. The enemies are in real loss , trouble, and their attacks are useless, but have negative consequences and effects on them.”
American-British aggression:
The revolution leader stated that the enemy raids on Yemen during this week amounted to 40 raids, most of which were on Hodeida province and some on Sa’ada province… pointing to the giant achievement of the enemy raids in Sa’ada by targeting a farmer’s car carrying plastic pipes, and this is a major failure.
He stressed that the enemies will not reach a result in their aggression against Yemen, and the only solution is to stop the aggression , deliver food and medicine to the residents of Gaza. He pointed out that the American-British support for the Israeli enemy aims for the Israelis to continue committing genocide crimes in Gaza.
He stated that
America is trying to involve the rest of the countries with it in order to serve the Israeli enemy and European countries must be careful… stressing that the Yemeni military operations at sea aim to pressure the entry of food and medical supplies , the delivery of medicine and humanitarian needs to Gaza.
He said, “Our demand is a legitimate humanitarian one that can only be ignored or ignored by those who do not have an iota of human feelings left in their hearts. European countries should not listen to the Americans or the British, and should not involve themselves in matters that do not concern them or affect them.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi urged all countries to leave the British and the Americans… He added, “We say to all countries, leave the British, the servile subordinate of the American, alone. Leave the American alone. America is adopting a strategy of implicating others and blackmailing them to reduce the cost and consequences of its bad, aggressive positions.”
He stressed tha
t the American failure in the strategy of implicating others will be an important part of his failure in multiple directions.
He praised the countries bordering the Red Sea that did not submit to the Americans and their diabolical steps and did not get involved with the Americans in their aggression against Yemen to support Israel. He praised all the countries in the world that have a clear voice attesting that the Red Sea operations are linked to the situation in Gaza.
The Revolution Leader praised the countries that rejected the American use of their lands to attack the Yemeni people. He saluted the President of Djibouti, who refused to use his country to launch raids on Yemen and declared his frank position in supporting oppression the Palestinians
