During the funeral for Yemen's Armed Forces Chief of Staff, Major General Al-Ghamari, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, asserted that Yemen remains on full alert and is prepared to resume and even escalate its military operations should "Israel" re-engage in genocidal acts, blockade, and starvation against the Palestinian people.
Sayyed Al-Houthi also stated that the massive public turnout for Al-Ghamari's funeral was a clear sign of popular resolve, emphasizing that "this steadfast position has highly important implications."
The Ansar Allah leader stated that the martyr Al-Ghamari was a true embodiment of the Yemeni people's deep faith, highlighting his exceptional personal initiative and his eagerness to be at the forefront of fulfilling all his military duties.
Yemen acted honorably in the face of confrontation: Sayyed al-Houthi
The Yemeni people have acted honorably and with clear direction, he stated in his speech, adding that this demonstrates a great sense of wisdom and responsibility, describing their confrontation during this critical two-year period of the conflict as "extremely fierce".
In stark contrast, the Ansar Allah leader asserted that those who took the opposite side by supporting the Israeli occupation acted in a shameful manner, a disgrace that will forever be upon them.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi observed that the stance of many Arab and Islamic armies is often dictated by an overcalculation of the enemy's strength. He firmly stated that "the difficult circumstances and the disparity in capabilities were never sufficient to impact our resolve or the level of our position."
He also praised the continuous and escalating progress made through every past stage, from the ten years of confrontation to the current round, noting a consistent improvement in military performance, a steady building of capabilities, and an invaluable accumulation of experience and lessons learned.

Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi asserted in his speech that "Yemen is the leading Arab nation in military production and manufacturing," highlighting that its domestic industry now produces "everything from pistols and Kalashnikovs to artillery, sniper rifles, drones, and missiles."
He also celebrated the massive achievement of having mobilized and trained over one million fighters, affirming that these recruitment and training efforts continue to move forward with great momentum.
'Israel' adheres to no deals: Sayyed al-Houthi
Shifting focus beyond Yemen, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi stated that despite any agreements in Lebanon, "the Israeli enemy persists in its violations, treachery, and daily criminal assaults."
