"The enemies will be astounded on the land as they were in the sea when they encounter new technologies unprecedented in history," Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi proclaimed during his weekly Thursday speech. 

On the occasion of the Prophet's birth, Sayyed al-Houthi addressed the latest developments regarding the Israeli aggression on Gaza, as well as local and regional updates, stressing the notion of "Jihad" during all activities in the face of the American-Israeli attack on the Ummah. 

He denounced the Arabs' "contentment" with watching the crimes of murder and starvation in Palestine, the violation of honor, the burning of the Quran, and the destruction of mosques, without declaring any stance.

Some regimes work on appeasing the enemy, according to al-Houthi, as well as offering it concessions, paying tribute, and seeking its protection, in return for their conspiring against their nation. However, he noted that regardless of the abundance of services they offered the enemy, the latter would abandon them with no appreciation of all their offerings. 

The Yemeni leader considered that some regimes' "collaboration and loyalty to the Israeli enemy have been exposed", slamming it as "shameful."

He also asserted that the Israeli occupation is clear and frank about its enmity, wondering "Where is the Jihad of Takfiris? Where is martyrdom? Where are those who commit suicide in the face of the Zionist Jews?" adding that it has all faded. 

Sayyed al-Houthi consequently praised the bravery, steadfastness, and dedication of the fighters in Gaza, despite their modest capabilities, stressing that the "banner of Jihad will be the real solution to the Israeli enemy's demise," affirming that it is inevitable, with all other bets losing. 

He also said that "the reality of the Israeli enemy testifies to its failure despite the tyranny, injustice, brutal aggression, and genocide," and that "if the steadfastness of the Palestinian people had received support and assistance from their nation, the situation would have been more advanced."

"All the Israeli enemy is, from criminality, arrogance, and total destruction, only shows its cowardice, fragility, and weakness." 

Operations for a greater pursuit

Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that the Yemeni people mobilized "on the basis of Jihad, for God's sake, and in support of the Palestinian people", in a frank, clear, and declared confrontation against "Israel", the United States, and the United Kingdom. 

He commended the Yemeni Armed Forces' "brave and daring military operations, which pounded the enemy with all its capabilities and without any worries for a greater pursuit. "

He declared that the military operations are still ongoing, with each week having its own outcome of strikes using ballistic cruise missiles.

"Since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza, we were eager for our people to move in hundreds of thousands to engage directly in the ground battle," he said, adding that "the only challenge between us and direct confrontation with the occupation is the wide geography of Arab regimes conspiring with the Israeli enemy."

"We hoped they would test us, or seek to get rid of us by opening the road to Gaza, but they did not, and they will never." 

A surprise on the ground

The Yemeni leader also expanded on the significant outcomes of the Armed Forces' operations in the seas, reaching the Mediterranean, noting that the "enemies discuss the Red Sea battle with admittance of defeat and failure, because of their inability to protect Israeli ships." 

He affirmed that the Yemeni people, who carry the notion of Jihad in their maritime operations, also continue developing their capabilities, adding that they would "shock the enemy on the ground, as they did in the sea, using technologies unprecedented in history that would help in humiliating it."

Sayyed al-Houthi assured that the Yemenis will spare no effort in doing all they can to champion Palestine, despite their constant feeling of "falling short", saying "We will continue, and our response is on its way, with a constant path [of confrontation] God willing." 

Politicizing public protests

Sayyed al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to take part in Friday's million-man march, showing allegiance to the Prophet and in support of the Palestinian people, stressing that the Yemeni people "have achieved the honor of dignity and freedom from humiliating and degrading situations."

He recalled the millions of Yemeni people taking to the streets every week over the previous months, emphasizing that "there is no precedent for this among any people," noting that there are four generations in the streets, all of whom are coming out of faith, morals, and values, and with pain and enthusiasm.

He stressed that going out to the squares is not for political goals, but rather is part of the Yemeni people's struggle, affirming, "We will never let down the Palestinian people as long as there is a pulsating vein in us, and as long as there is life in us."
