Palestinian Resistance faction Hamas praised the decision of Yemen's Ansar Allah, who threatened "Israel" to stop preventing the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza on Saturday.
"We call our people, and our Arab and Islamic countries to take effective steps toward breaking the siege on Gaza, and using all means possible to foil the Israeli occupation's starvation plan," Hamas said in a statement on Saturday, emphasizing its commitment to the ceasefire deal.
The statement called on the international community to pressure "Israel" to adhere to the ceasefire agreement completely and begin the second phase of the agreement immediately without any delay or evasion.
Al-Houthi gives 'Israel' four days
The leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, issued a four-day ultimatum on March 7 to the mediators of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, demanding the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and warning that if the occupation fails to comply, they will resume attacks on Israeli-linked vessels.
Al-Houthi accused "Israel" of evading its commitments to the ceasefire deal, especially in regards to humanitarian provisions, noting that while Hamas has fully upheld its obligations in the agreement, the occupation failed to do so.
On March 6, Mohammad Ali al-Houthi, a member of Yemen's Supreme Political Council, emphasized that delivering aid to Gaza takes priority over any US sanctions [on Yemen], which he dismissed as "illegitimate," in a statement published on X.
Trump encourages 'Israel': Hamas
US President Donald Trump's threats complicate the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and encourage the Israeli occupation to continue violating its terms, Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem stated on March 6.
Trump's ultimatum was issued during direct talks in Doha between his envoy for captive affairs, Adam Boehler, and Hamas leaders, as part of efforts to negotiate a new Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement.
"'Shalom Hamas' means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you," Trump said on his Truth Social platform on March 6.
