The leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, confirmed that the Israeli enemy, in collaboration with the United States, continues to commit the "crime of the century and the scandal of the era" against the Palestinian people, stressing that these crimes represent a "disgrace upon those who are hesitant and complicit."
Speaking on Thursday to mark the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), Sayyed al-Houthi noted that the anniversary closely coincides with the near-end of the second year of "Israel's" US-backed assault on Gaza. This war has seen Palestinian suffering reach unimaginable levels, from the denial of baby formula for infants to the continued use of starvation as a deliberate weapon of war, he stated.
He added that the Israeli occupation continues its daily violations against the al-Aqsa Mosque and the West Bank, all while some parties stand by as mere spectators, acting as if it is not their concern, while warning that this hesitation, or complicity with the enemy, will not shield those involved from its consequences.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi argued that the oppression of the Palestinian people has revealed the profound level of "human, moral, and religious decay" reached by the Islamic world, maintaining that every alternative and strategy the nation has clung to and based its stance on has now failed.
'Israel's' schemes don't stop at Gaza
The Ansar Allah leader, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, further warned that "the Zionist project does not stop at the borders of Palestine, as its top criminals openly proclaim a plan that targets the entire region under the banner of changing the Middle East and establishing a Greater Israel."
Sayyed al-Houthi stressed Yemen's unwavering stance in supporting the Palestinian people, calling on "those with living consciences to take action to stop the Zionist criminality that is practicing genocide and using starvation as a weapon," noting that "the nation's persistence in its current state, which is contradictory to its own principles, will lead to its ruin."
Sayyed al-Houthi's speech comes as the death toll from the Israeli war on Gaza continues to surge.
The total number of people killed in the Israeli war on Gaza has risen to 64,231, with 161,583 injured, since October 7, 2023, as of September 4, 2025. Since the resumption of the war on March 18, the number of fatalities has reached 11,699, in addition to 49,542 injuries.
