The Defense Minister of the Yemeni Sanaa government, Major General Mohammed al-Atifi, underlined Saturday that a "strong and earth-shattering Yemeni response against the Nazi entity is imminent and inevitable, without hesitation or fear." He further emphasized that Yemen would meet Zionist madness with Yemeni strength, which he said the Israeli occupation had already gotten a taste of in the seas.

Al-Atifi stressed that Yemen's unwavering support for Palestine is non-negotiable, adding that "retreating from Yemen's pro-Palestine stance is impossible and not subject to compromise because justice has only one face."

The defense minister also highlighted ongoing efforts to enhance Yemen's military capabilities both in terms of quantity and quality. He noted that the country is working to reach higher levels of military power, particularly in missile strength, drone technology, and unmanned naval vessels. This development, he stated, would ensure greater accuracy and impact in facing the Israeli occupation.

Furthermore, al-Atifi underlined Yemen's strategic role in the Axis of Resistance, defending the nation's values, sacred sites, and territories. He also pointed out that the Arab and Red Seas, along with the Gulf of Aden, have become "graveyards for American, Israeli, and Western warships."

Al-Atifi reaffirmed Yemen's commitment to independence, stating, "Yemen will not accept any foreign domination or become a backyard for any regional regime or international oversight."

He concluded by stressing the importance of Yemen's national wealth as a sovereign resource, ensuring it is utilized for the country's benefit. He warned that any threats to Yemen's stability or foreign military presence on its islands and territories would not be tolerated.

Escalating Yemeni threats

"The enemies will be astounded on the land as they were in the sea when they encounter new technologies unprecedented in history," Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi proclaimed during his weekly Thursday speech. 

On the occasion of the Prophet's birth, Sayyed al-Houthi addressed the latest developments regarding the Israeli aggression on Gaza, as well as local and regional updates, stressing the notion of "Jihad" during all activities in the face of the American-Israeli attack on the Ummah. 

He denounced the Arabs' "contentment" with watching the crimes of murder and starvation in Palestine, the violation of honor, the burning of the Quran, and the destruction of mosques, without declaring any stance.

Some regimes work on appeasing the enemy, according to al-Houthi, as well as offering it concessions, paying tribute, and seeking its protection, in return for their conspiring against their nation. However, he noted that regardless of the abundance of services they offered the enemy, the latter would abandon them with no appreciation of all their offerings. 

The Yemeni leader considered that some regimes' "collaboration and loyalty to the Israeli enemy have been exposed", slamming it as "shameful."

He also asserted that the Israeli occupation is clear and frank about its enmity, wondering "Where is the Jihad of Takfiris? Where is martyrdom? Where are those who commit suicide in the face of the Zionist Jews?" adding that it has all faded. 

Sayyed al-Houthi consequently praised the bravery, steadfastness, and dedication of the fighters in Gaza, despite their modest capabilities, stressing that the "banner of Jihad will be the real solution to the Israeli enemy's demise," affirming that it is inevitable, with all other bets losing. 

He also said that "the reality of the Israeli enemy testifies to its failure despite the tyranny, injustice, brutal aggression, and genocide," and that "if the steadfastness of the Palestinian people had received support and assistance from their nation, the situation would have been more advanced."

"All the Israeli enemy is, from criminality, arrogance, and total destruction, only shows its cowardice, fragility, and weakness."
