Mass demonstrations were organized in the governorates of Saada and Raymah in Yemen under the banner of "The Israeli Vessel Protection Alliance does not intimidate us".

The protest chants of the demonstrations in the Saada governorate reiterated the statement of Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, in his historic speech pledging support to the Palestinian people.

Sayyed al-Houthi had warned the United States two days ago against attacking Yemen, emphasizing that Yemen will not hesitate to target American warships and cargo ship movements in the event of any aggression.

"If America wishes to contend Yemen's stance of supporting Palestine, it will be going up against the entire Yemeni nation" emphasizing that Yemen has proliferated its defensive capabilities over the years in its experience of fighting against different wars of aggression, the most recent among which was the US-sponsored Saudi-led aggression. 

The demonstrators affirmed that the Yemeni people are ready for all scenarios in any possible confrontation with the Israeli-American aggression on Yemen.

They also warned the countries being dragged by Washington into the coalition against getting involved in any aggression against Yemen.

In a televised speech on Wednesday, al-Houthi reassured European companies, saying “European vessels that do not have Israeli ports as their final destination are not at risk.”

Regarding the US military's navigation in the Red Sea, he called it “illegal” and “a reckless and foolish aggression that only serves Israel,” stressing, however, that European countries that are complicit in the US move are risking their interests.

Sayyed al-Houthi further stressed that the Yemeni people decided not to yield to the United States and not to back down from their religious and moral stance in terms of all the ongoing events in the Red and Arabian seas, as well as the Gulf of Aden. He added that this Yemeni stance is effective and influential and has dealt heavy blows to the Israeli enemy.

On the US-led coalition in the Red Sea, Sayyed al-Houthi announced that its actual goal is not to protect international navigation; Rather, it only aims to implicate countries in protecting Israeli ships, in pursuit of militarizing the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and Bab al-Mandab.

In this context, he called on the countries overlooking the coast of the Red Sea to condemn the American move because it violates their rights, stressing that the US turning the Red Sea into a battlefield is detrimental to all countries.

Sayyed al-Houthi praised the Malaysian decision to bar Israeli shipping companies from any activity in Malaysian ports.
