Ansar Allah has restated Yemen's firm support for Palestinians in Gaza amid the ongoing Israeli genocide.
“Yemen will stand by Gaza until the [Israeli] aggression ends, the blockade [on the Palestinian territory] is lifted and humanitarian aid enters there,” Ansar Allah spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam told Yemen's Al-Masirah TV on Thursday.
“Yemen will not backtrack on its steadfast ... approach regarding Gaza,” the spokesperson added.
He also emphasized that Yemen views its support for Gaza as a religious, humanitarian, and moral obligation for Muslims and advocates for freedom.
This comes shortly after Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated that the military will continue its pro-Palestine maritime campaign as long as the Gaza aggression and blockade persist. He also vowed, on Tuesday, that the military operations of the YAF would escalate during the holy month of Ramadan in support of the oppressed Palestinian people and Resistance fighters in the besieged Gaza Strip.
How Ansar Allah are schooling the West on the battlefield: Bloomberg
A recent op-ed published by Bloomberg detailed the considerations the West must take into account in its war on Yemen and schooled the West on the challenges it has to face before declaring itself victorious against a movement it cannot catch up to, Yemen's Ansar Allah.
Throughout the confrontations between Ansar Allah and the foreign infiltrative coalition in the Red Sea, author Marc Champion reflects on the military advancements the Yemenis possess. The Yemenis revolutionized the battlefield by utilizing enhanced weapons such as precision missiles and suicide drones, among others, that had only been available to the richest of nations.
The second challenge encompasses the vulnerability of Western nations that have perpetuated a war without calculating all they would lose. For example, Champion discusses the infrastructure of the United States and its offshore projects that could be shrunk in the face of a powerful foe. He proceeds to speculate how much the US per capita gross domestic product, which stands at over $76,000, could be hit, highlighting its fragility.
The economic structure of the globe should be considered, according to Champion, who claims the disruptions in the maritime supply chain caused by Yemen's Ansar Allah, which add up to 12% of the global shipping, essentially do not affect Yemen as much as they affect European importers.
Moreover, the author has depicted the discrepancies between the political ideology of the US and Yemen. If Yemen kills US troops that have been deployed to infiltrate and militarize the Red Sea and protect the interests of "Israel" by bombing the defensive force that is supporting Gaza through a US-funded Israeli genocide, then it would transpire as a political problem that backfires at Biden's administration. On the other hand, when US troops kill Yemeni civilians in the US' brutal attacks on residential Yemeni areas, then it only fuels Ansar Allah further, and more so the popular support it garners.
Champion then said the US must not escalate tensions against an overpowered movement that regards it as an absolute evil and continues to recruit freedom fighters in the quest for liberation.
It is worth noting that Yemeni Armed Forces persist with their operations in the Red and Arabian seas against Israeli and Israeli-bound ships until the cessation of the aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, as well as against American and British ships in response to the two countries' aggression on Yemen.
