The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, asserted that American warships and battleships are avoiding being targeted by the Yemeni Armed Forces by maneuvering alongside Chinese vessels and other ships, amid the large-scale maritime operations conducted by the Yemeni forces.
In a speech delivered on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi highlighted that "Chinese media has documented the tactic employed by the Americans, where they seek refuge behind Chinese ships as they evade Yemeni targets with their battleships or vessels."
Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "there is now a precise hunt and careful search for ships associated with the enemies." He further revealed that the number of ships targeted has reached 211.
He also noted that the Yemeni Armed Forces conducted a large-scale and extensive operation at sea, targeting American warships, along with other significant operations, including strikes against the Israeli occupation in occupied Yafa [Tel Aviv], Ben Gurion Airport, and occupied Asqalan.
This week, a large and extensive maritime operation was carried out, targeting several US warships.
Regarding Yemen and Iraq, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that these two fronts, which are supporting the Gaza Strip, "are making a clear effort amid the severe level of Arab and Islamic inaction."
He also pointed out that the Yemeni Armed Forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out three joint operations targeting vital assets of the Israeli occupation in both the north and south of occupied Palestine.
Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that these joint operations "will have a significant impact on the enemy, who is clearly disturbed by them."
US and 'Israel' are opening fronts against anyone who stands with Palestine
Speaking on the developments in Syria, Sayyed al-Houthi warned that "the goal behind fueling conflicts is to divert our attention from the main cause," which is the Palestinian cause. He emphasized that "internal strifes and conflicts serve the Israeli occupation," explaining that this is precisely what the United States aims to achieve.
Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that the "Israeli-US" front, as he described it, represents "the real, primary, and greatest danger to the Ummah," aiming to plunge it into internal and sectarian conflicts.
He emphasized that the Islamic nation "is in dire need of awareness and insight at this stage," and that the correct stance is to "support the Palestinian people and their unifying cause."
Sayyed al-Houthi also highlighted that the United States and the Israeli occupation "are attempting to completely divert attention from the Palestinian issue, aiming to liquidate it in an environment of complete distraction, while simultaneously opening fronts against anyone who stands in solidarity with it."
Additionally, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement noted that "the only beacon of light and hope amid the darkness of Arab and Islamic failure lies in the efforts of al-Quds' Axis of Resistance and resilience... yet some media outlets attempt to undermine it through distortion."
He explained that the distortion of the efforts of the Axis of Resistance by some media outlets, including Arab media, "is carried out under Western orders to fragment the region." He emphasized that Iran "provides support and assistance to the entire axis, with the Palestinian people at the forefront."
'Hezbollah has done what no one else has done'
In the same context, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that Hezbollah in Lebanon "has made the most precious and invaluable sacrifices for the sake of Palestine, offering the lives of its leaders and cadres as martyrs." He further stated, "[Hezbollah] has done what no one else has done."
Regarding the Arab and Islamic states, Sayyed al-Houthi pointed out that "one of the worst positions, in addition to standing by and watching the famine in the Gaza Strip, is providing supplies to the Israeli enemy."
While stressing that popular activities in some Arab countries represent a "beacon of hope in support of the Palestinian people," he also pointed out that these activities "are not immune to harassment by the regimes."
As for Latin America, Sayyed al-Houthi reiterated in his speech that some countries in the region have expressed stronger support for Palestine than most Arab countries.
With regard to the situation in the Gaza Strip. the Ansar Allah leader stressed that US President-elect Donald Trump's threats to "turn Gaza into hell if the Israeli prisoners are not released, reflects the US' apathy toward Palestinians."
In this context, he pointed out that the Israeli occupation "expresses its hostility toward Islam and Muslims in partnership with, and with the support of, the Americans, the other face of Zionism."
He explained that what the occupation is doing "is not limited to the Palestinian people in Palestine; rather, it seeks to target all communities."
