The leader of the Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, underlines that Iraq stood in solidarity with the oppressed people of the world, most notably the people of Yemen and Palestine as he salutes late President Raisi.

Sanaa shares the grief of the Islamic Republic of Iran over the tragic death of President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and their companions, Ansar Allah leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said Thursday.

The Yemeni Resistance leader underlined that Iran was exceptional in its stance with Palestine, whether in terms of Arab States or Muslim ones, stressing that Tehran was committed to the causes of the Islamic Ummah and those of the oppressed peoples, including the downtrodden Yemeni people.

There has never been any official position that was as evident and sincere as that of Iran toward the Yemeni people, Sayyed al-Houthi said. "President Raisi was an Islamic leader the Ummah takes pride in due to his moral and intellectual qualities."

Raisi, the Yemeni leader added, "[President Raisi] is a paradigm of a leader who had excellent relations with his people, and leaders should learn from him in this regard," noting that the fact that millions of people participated in Raisi's funeral procession reflects his profound relationship with Iranians.

US seeks to turn Gaza into a prison

Sayyed al-Houthi also discussed the latest developments in Palestine, delving into the pre-planned plots of the American and Israeli regimes for the besieged territory. 

"Despite all the flagrant genocidal crimes perpetrated by the Israeli enemy in Gaza, the American President comes out and denies all of that," Sayyed al-Houthi said. "The Israeli aggression on Gaza will continue for the sake of the murder and destruction, and none of the declared goals will be achieved."

"There is American and Israeli acknowledgment of the impossibility of achieving the goals of the aggression on Gaza, and adhering to the war is but a means of murdering more Palestinians," the Yemeni leader said.

"The murder of women and children and leveling entire neighborhoods and residential blocs is not seen as genocide by the American President," he said. "Killing Palestinians on the streets and bombing the areas where they are gathering and starving hundreds of thousands are not seen as genocide by Biden."

"The destruction of the healthcare system, the prevention of the entry of medication, killing patients, burying people alive, displacing hundreds of thousands before persecuting them and murdering them in refugee shelters, and bombing bakeries and water wells are not seen as a crime by Biden," Sayyed al-Houthi stressed.

The floating US pier in Gaza, the Yemeni leader underlined, is "a military base, and Washington's plot was exposed when it brought it in armored vehicles and air defense systems," Sayyed al-Houthi said. "The US wants to turn Gaza into a prison that only has one exit point through the sea, which is guarded by American soldiers."

"The US Security Minister announcing the resumption of settlement activity in the West Bank is a dangerous escalation," he stressed in reference to Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant instructing the Israeli occupation forces to allow Israeli settlers to enter an area of the northern West Bank they had been banned from entering since the liberation of the Gaza Strip in 2005.

While the law prohibiting Israelis from entering the West Bank areas was repealed by the Israeli Knesset last year, the Israeli occupation forces are still prohibiting the settlers from entering under military orders in four settlements that had been declared a closed military zone.

Gallant's order rescinds the declaration of a "closed military zone" in three of the four settlements, which he said would lead to "the development of settlement and provide security to the residents of the region."

EU recognition of Palestine

Sayyed al-Houthi further underlined that silence regarding the Israeli occupation's horrendous crimes is an insult to humanity in and of itself.

"The European states declaring their recognition of Palestine, although underwhelming, is an important political step," he added, aspiring that actions are taken within other countries for the recognition of Palestine.

"If the remainder of European states head toward recognizing Palestine as a state, that will increase the political pressure on the Israeli enemy," he said. 

"In the face of Israeli escalation, statements and Arab summits are not enough, and what is required are practical positions and decisions and serious action," the Ansar Allah leader said. "There is a great responsibility on Muslims, and some Arab countries have not reached the level of completely severing their relations with the enemy."

Regarding the recent steps of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Sayyed al-Houthi asked, "How can the court's prosecutor equate criminals Netanyahu and [Gallant] with Palestinian leaders defending their just cause?"

"Zionists are going through existential dread, and it is ever-growing in light of their failures in Gaza," he added. "The isolation of the Israeli occupation is ever growing, too, and they are continuously being accused of being criminals after they attempted to cover this up."

"The Resistance fighters in Gaza, through their laudable steadfastness, presented an image of hope that allows them to reach the point of victory," Sayyed al-Houthi underlined.

Yemen to continue expanding operations

Sayyed al-Houthi underlined that Yemen's operations, which are being carried out from Yemeni territory, have a devastating impact.

"Good news will come, and [our operations] will gain great, influential impetus," he said.

He emphasized that Sanaa is "in a state of continuous development," adding that "our coordination with our brothers in Iraq will have an additional contribution."

"The Americans are trying to hinder the fourth phase of the escalation and are working with several of their allies, but they will fail."

The Yemeni Armed Forces carried out eight operations this week with 15 missiles and drones in the Red and Arabian Seas, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean, he revealed.

Sayyed al-Houthi explained that one of the military operations this past week was carried out towards the Mediterranean Sea, revealing that the number of ships targeted so far has reached 119 ships associated with the Israelis, Americans, and British.

One of the targeted ships belonged to a company that violated the embargo and entered Zionist ports, noting that two US MQ-9 aircraft were shot down this week in the airspace of Marib and al-Bayda provinces.

Sayyed al-Houthi stressed that Yemen will continue to support Palestine, and "the feeling and awareness as a Yemeni people of responsibility will not diminish and will not wane."

In conclusion, he called on the Yemeni people to take part in the weekly million-man march in Sanaa and the rest of the provinces on Friday.
