Yemeni Ansar Allah politburo member Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti says Sanaa has many options on the table in case of any blunders on the Israeli or US sides.

The United States threatened Yemen through Oman, a mediator between the two nations, which led the Yemeni Armed Forces to launch missiles at "Israel",  Ansar Allah politburo member Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti said on Tuesday.

Despite the US threats, Yemeni leader Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi ordered that missiles be launched at "Israel" following the ground aggression on Gaza, Al-Bukhaiti told Al Mayadeen.

The Yemeni Armed Forces launched a large barrage of ballistic missiles and drones toward the occupied Palestinian territories, he said.

"The Israeli enemy admitted to having intercepted one missile but covered up for the remaining missiles," he added. "The Americans and the Israelis admitted to having intercepted one Yemeni missile; so where is the remainder of the missiles?"

The United States, he asserted, was an accomplice in the aggression on Gaza, and it is crossing the red lines set by Yemen.

Sanaa "achieved national unity by attacking Israel," he said, making the revelation that some parties that were at war with Ansar Allah pledged to fight alongside it in any confrontation with the Israeli occupation.

Any losses that are to be suffered in the future during any war with "Israel" cannot be compared to the wars on the internal front that the United States has long been behind.

UAE behind terror on Gaza

Regarding the options Yemen has, Al-Bukhaiti underlined that Yemen has numerous choices should the United States or "Israel" commit any imprudent acts against Yemen. "We are currently targeting the Zionist entity, and if the Americans seek to escalate, we are prepared."

He emphasized that the focus should be on the Axis of Resistance and the Arab peoples, not on Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Especially since Sanaa attempted to communicate with the UAE and Saudi Arabia to lift the blockade on Yemen in support of Gaza, but both countries rejected the proposal.

Al-Bukhaiti revealed that Sanaa possesses confirmed information indicating the UAE's involvement in the strikes on Gaza.

He also reported comprehensive coordination among the leaders of the Axis of Resistance, calling on the masses to prepare for confrontation regardless of any potential decisions.

In an interview with Al Mayadeen, the Prime Minister of the interim government in Sanaa, Abdulaziz Bin Habtoor, affirmed that Hamas was "an integral part of the Palestinian people," emphasizing that "it cannot be uprooted, along with the resistance, because they are part of the general and fundamental belief held dearly by the Arab people in Palestine."

Bin Habtoor added that the land occupied by "Israel" "can only be reclaimed through the resistance; through words, actions, and every available means."

Bin Habtoor affirmed Sanaa's "unconditional solidarity with our people in Gaza, all of Palestine, southern Lebanon, and the Golan Heights, and in every inch of Arab land."

He also emphasized that Yemen is "a part of the Axis of Resistance" that extends from Tehran, Baghdad, Damascus, Beirut, and Gaza to Sanaa, adding that nothing can hinder Yemeni resistance despite the nation being at a geographical disadvantage. 

During an event organized by the human rights ministry in solidarity with Gaza, the Prime Minister of the interim government in Sanaa praised the Palestinian resistance, adding that "Jihad will continue as long as there is resistance". 

Addressing the Arab regimes, Bin Habtoor said they were "either fearful, in deep slumber, or have sold the entire Palestinian cause and joined the normalization trend."

Yemen stands up against Israeli aggression on Gaza

Earlier today, it was reported that a drone coming from the direction of the Red Sea infiltrated the "Eilat" settlement before being intercepted by the Israeli occupation, according to Israeli media reports.

A number of Israeli news agencies estimated that the UAV was launched from Yemen, stating that this "is the most logical assumption."

News about missile and drone launches from Yemen toward the occupation entity has been recurring in the past two weeks.

The operations come in light of paramount solidarity with the Palestinian people from Yemen, with the support seeing Sanaa seeking to retaliate against the Israeli occupation for its ongoing crimes and massacres against the civilians in Gaza.

Most recently, Israeli outlets reported that a ballistic missile launched from Yemen at Monday dawn was intercepted by the US Navy in the northern Red Sea. Additionally, the Israeli Air Force stated a few days ago that it intercepted Yemeni drones over the Red Sea, claiming that they were launched from Yemen "potentially" toward “Israel".
