The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the Sanaa government affirmed on Saturday, that "in light of the Zionist obstinacy supported by the United States and Britain, Yemen stands firm in preventing the entry of ships affiliated with the Israeli entity."

The Yemeni Foreign Ministry held the Israeli occupation and its allies responsible for the escalation in the Gaza Strip, the Red Sea, and the Bab al-Mandab, stating, "We hold the United States directly responsible for the Zionist escalation due to the unlimited support provided by Washington and its allies to the entity ['Israel'] politically, materially, militarily, and logistically, including hindering the Security Council from fulfilling its role in maintaining international peace and security."

The Ministry also condemned the escalation of the occupation's war crimes and genocide against civilians, including targeting them at the Nablus roundabout in the Gaza Strip as they waiting to receive food supplies, resulting in the martyrdom of 115 and the injury of 800, in what has become known as the Flour Massacre.

Yemen holds cards up its sleeves, ready to shock the enemy: Al-Houthi

Yemeni Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddine al-Houthi affirmed on Thursday that Resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip have been "bravely, efficiently, and impactfully" fighting, defying the Israeli enemy, and inflicting losses despite the prolongation of the war and the siege for five months now. 

During his weekly televised speech, al-Houthi said, "The Zionists will no longer garner control over Palestine, and their inevitable fate, regardless of how much destruction, crime, and murder they perpetrate, is demise, defeat, failure, and humiliation." 

"The struggle will persist, under the glorious name of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and its true destiny will be the certain defeat of the enemy."

He emphasized that the Ummah's survival rests upon the responsible stewardship of the Palestinian cause, irrespective of how much they attempt to disavow it and how they justify it, stressing that "the Arabs cannot escape their obligations, and that is why the consequences are more severe for them". 

The destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and replacing it with the acclaimed temple is still a primary goal for "Israel", al-Houthi said, adding that "so is the occupation of many other Arabian lands."

The Yemeni leader said the Israelis determined their ambitions to form a dominant entity that possesses direct control over them, from the Nile to al-Furat. "They wish to advance from what they already occupied, to usurp the rest of the region, its people, and its resources."

He clarifies that they have transformed this greedy ambition into an ideology and a political vision, and mobilized following a long-term work frame to achieve their goals. 

Al-Houthi slammed those who have been developing the world stage for Zionists, who possess the most hostile vision toward our nations and people, stressing the "unfortunate extensive inattention and state of stupor among Arabs regarding the conspiracies being woven against them."

Speaking on Lebanon's supportive front against the Israeli occupation's genocide in Gaza, al-Houthi said "The Lebanese front, through Hezbollah's operations, has proven its great impact in confronting the Israeli enemy."
