The leader of Ansar Allah in Yemen, Sayyed Abdul Malik al-Houthi, emphasized the astonishing apathy and indifference from the official entities globally and among Arabs and Muslims toward the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

In a speech on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi noted the absence of any serious Arab and Islamic action addressing the humanitarian suffering, highlighting that organizations remain inactive and fail to exert pressure despite the crimes committed by the occupation, with the war on Gaza ongoing for nearly 10 months.

The Yemeni leader stressed that the Israeli occupation and the United States were shocked by the fighting spirit and the ability of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, to restore their capabilities, affirming that the steadfastness of the Palestinian people exceeds all expectations and remains solid despite the immense suffering.

YAF escalation expanding to Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea

On the Yemeni support front, Sayyed al-Houthi touched on the high effectiveness of the Yemeni Armed Forces' operations in the Red and Arabian seas, the Gulf of Aden, and the Bab al-Mandab Strait.

He confirmed that the number of targeted ships linked to the United States, "Israel", and Britain reached 170, adding that the YAF operations were carried out with 25 ballistic and cruise missiles, drones, and naval vessels.

In light of these operations, the Ansar Allah leader highlighted a significant reduction in the navigation of ships associated with the United States and Britain, adding, "Once they pass, they are targeted."

Sayyed al-Houthi announced Sanaa's intention to enhance operations in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, asserting that these areas are now under the YAF's control. He also vowed escalation and intensification of YAF actions.

He reiterated that the American aggression, which targeted Yemen with 13 airstrikes this week, does not affect the YAF's operations, nor does it limit them, explaining that the United States is pushing to embroil its proxies due to the pressure it faces as a result of the Yemeni operations.

US seeks to embroil Saudi Arabia militarily

The Yemeni leader pointed out that Washington seeks to embroil Saudi Arabia militarily instead of merely exploiting it economically.

He warned that Riyadh would face a loss if it implicates itself and insists on its unjustified aggressive steps against the Yemeni people.

Tensions are rising between Sanaa and Riyadh after the latter transitioned into low-intensity aggression on Yemen last year following nine years of war.

Recently, Ansar Allah leaders and commanders of the YAF have warned against Riyadh's aggressive policies, which involve the imposition of vast restrictions on bank transfers to Sanaa and stalled negotiations on the prisoner exchange dossier between the two sides. 

Specifically, Saudi Arabia, through the Aden authorities it backs in Yemen, is pushing to relocate the headquarters of the Yemeni Central Bank from Sanaa to areas they control.

Sayyed al-Houthi on Thursday threatened that there is no point in Saudi Arabia's 2030 plan or the plans to develop Riyadh Airport if the Saudis are willing to sacrifice their future and lose their economic plans for the sake of "Israel" and the United States.

The Ansar Allah leader had previously drawn out an equation that every action would be met with reciprocity, "banks with banks, Riyadh airport with Sanaa airport, and ports with ports," outlining Yemen's responses to aggression.

During his weekly speech on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi addressed the popular mobilization in Yemen, highlighting that the total number of demonstrations, marches, sit-ins, evening events, and seminars reached 584,215 activities, while the number of military trainees in mobilization amounted to 374,232.

Effective Gaza support fronts

Touching on the Resistance front in support of Gaza, the Ansar Allah leader reiterated that Hezbollah's front along northern occupied Palestine is major, active, intense, and impactful against the Israeli occupation, which admitted to being in a historical predicament and describing its situation in the North as "the worst defeat there since 1948."

Sayyed al-Houthi also confirmed that the Yemeni Armed Forces and the Islamic Resistance in Iraq carried out this week a joint military operation in support of Gaza.

Elsewhere, he emphasized that the effectiveness of the support fronts has imposed a new and crucial equation at this stage, urging continued escalation.
