Mohammad al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Political Bureau of the Ansar Allah movement, stated that targeting the Yemeni government's meeting has "crossed red lines," emphasizing that the war has entered a new stage and that retaliation is inevitable.
"Our actions will precede our words," he promised.
In his remarks to Al Mayadeen, al-Bukhaiti stated that the liberation of Palestine is Ansar Allah's primary cause, a commitment reiterated in President Mahdi al-Mashat's speech, and emphasized that the Israeli occupation will never break the Yemeni people's will, vowing that the movement "will continue to support Gaza no matter the cost."
The political bureau member of the Ansar Allah movement also stated that his country is in a state of war and has launched numerous strikes against the enemy, clarifying that "receiving counterstrikes is to be expected."
He further explained that the movement "has succeeded in punishing Britain and the United States and will do the same to the Zionist enemy."
Regarding the Muslim Brotherhood's statement, al-Bukhaiti said the movement views it as positive but that it "does not represent the majority of the group's position," adding, "We do not want the Brotherhood's statement to be merely a rhetorical stance, and unfortunately, the position of Yemen's Islah party differs from that of the group's statement."
Yemen steadfast in supporting Palestine: Ansar Allah political bureau
For its part, the Political Bureau of the Ansar Allah movement issued a statement mourning the martyrdom of the prime minister and his companions, considering this Israeli crime to be another in a series of violations and acts of genocide committed from Gaza and Palestine to Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, and asserting that it will not stop at Yemen.
The statement affirmed that the Yemeni people have proven "through words, actions, and heavy sacrifices that Palestine is not alone" and that Yemen will stand with the Palestinian people until the aggression is stopped and the siege is lifted.
Furthermore, the Ansar Allah Political Bureau stressed that "the martyrdom of a group of Yemen's leaders on the path to al-Quds and amid the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood is a badge of honor for them and for the entire Yemeni people."
The Bureau concluded by renewing its pledge that Yemen "is proceeding with full determination and steadfastness in the battle to support Gaza and Palestine, on the path to al-Quds, and in the footsteps of the martyrs," affirming that dark days await "Israel".
