Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi: Yemen is in heart of confrontation, and US escalation is failure
SANAA, April 17 (YPA) – Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi emphasized that Gaza Strip is suffering a humanitarian catastrophe due to the ongoing Israeli aggression, with most of its residents displaced.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik also noted, in a televised speech this evening on the developments of the Zionist aggression on Gaza and the US aggression against Yemen, that Israel is committing crimes of genocide against the Palestinians, targeting health infrastructure, including the Baptist Hospital.
He considered the attempt to occupy the city of Rafah a threat to Egyptian security and a violation of the Israeli-Egyptian agreement.
Regarding prisoner negotiations, he emphasized that the Israeli occupation and the Americans are trying to blackmail the Palestinians and not abide by previous agreements.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik asserted that Hamas's demands represent the minimum humanitarian demands. He indicated the suffering of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, emphasizing that their cause cannot be ignored.
Regarding the Lebanese front, Sayyed Abdul-Malik pointed out that Israeli forces continue to violate the Lebanon Agreement with American support, pointing to the daily attacks on Lebanese territory.
He believed that the occupation's ambitions in Lebanon were clear, stressing that if the enemy had been able to carry out a comprehensive attack on Lebanon, he would not have hesitated to completely invade it.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik explained that the enemy seeks to plunder the waters of the Litani River and continues to occupy some sites inside Lebanon, targeting even temporary rooms of residents, which hinders the return of the displaced to their homes.
He added that the Lebanese resistance has achieved unprecedented achievements, as Hezbollah has made great sacrifices to protect Lebanon and the dignity of its people.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik stressed that the option of resistance is not a luxury but a national necessity, and abandoning it constitutes a great danger to the freedom and independence of Lebanon.
Syria and Palestine at the heart of the confrontation
Regarding developments in Syria, Sayyed Abdul-Malik stated that Israel continues its violations in Syrian territory by establishing nine military bases in the south as part of its aggressive regional project.
He stressed that the situation in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria highlights the need for the Arab peoples to possess means of deterrence and protection, and he considered disarming the resistance illogical, affirming that the Palestinian people have the right to possess weapons to defend their land.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik criticized the positions of some Arab regimes calling for the disarmament of the resistance, considering that they serve Israel's interests and prevent peoples from their right to defense.
Regarding the Yemeni issue, Al-Houthi stated that the Yemeni position is comprehensive, popular, official, and military and that the Yemeni front is influential and supports the Palestinian resistance.
He stated that the US aggression against Yemen is escalating, with the United States carrying out more than 220 airstrikes this week and 900 last month using F-18 aircraft.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi explained that the enemy failed to secure Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Gulf of Aden, and the waters are still completely closed to Israeli ships.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi revealed that the Yemeni armed forces carried out 78 military operations this month by using 171 missiles and drones, some of which targeted occupied Jaffa and Ashkelon, coinciding with the Jewish 'Passover' holiday.
Al-Houthi explained that Yemen carried out 33 operations against the US aircraft carrier and its accompanying naval vessels, successfully shooting down 19 MQ-9 drones, in addition to conducting 11 interception operations against US aircraft in the Red Sea. He confirmed that the Truman aircraft carrier has become purely defensive, prompting the Americans to deploy another aircraft carrier to support the operations.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik concluded his speech by emphasizing that 'the Yemeni position is firm and effective and will not be affected by all this aggression,' stressing Yemen's continued support for the Palestinian resistance until victory is achieved.

Palestinian child injured by enemy bullets during 139th day of its aggression on Tulkarm
Tulkarm – Saba: Israeli enemy forces continued their aggression on the city of Tulkarm and its camp in occupied Palestine Saturday, for the 139th consecutive day, and for the 126th day on the Nur Shams camp, amid widespread field escalation, including a campaign of arrests and the ongoing demolition of Palestinian homes. The official Palestinian News Agency reported that enemy forces continued to impose a tight siege on Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps and their surroundings. Infantry units and vehicles are deployed in the alleys, neighborhoods, and entrances, preventing residents from reaching their homes to inspect them or retrieve their belongings, while directly shooting at anyone who attempts to approach. This morning, a 16-year-old child was injured by enemy bullets in the foot while trying to enter Tulkarm camp. He was transported in a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance to Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital. For eight consecutive days, Tulkarm camp has witnessed the demolition of residential buildings in Balawneh, Akasha, and Nadi neighborhoods, using heavy bulldozers. This is part of the enemy's plan to demolish 106 buildings in both Tulkarm and Nur Shams camps, including 58 buildings in Tulkarm camp alone, comprising more than 250 housing units and dozens of commercial establishments. Over the past few weeks, Nur Shams camp has witnessed continuous demolitions of residential buildings, resulting in the demolition of more than 20 buildings. This is part of the enemy's plan to demolish 48 buildings in Nur Shams, under the pretext of opening roads and changing the geographical features of the two camps. Israeli enemy forces continue to transform Nablus Street into military barracks by continuing to seize a number of residential buildings there, along with parts of the northern neighborhood of the city, specifically those facing Tulkarm camp, after forcibly evacuating their residents. Some of these buildings have been under enemy control for more than four months, while Israeli enemy forces have deployed heavy machinery and bulldozers in their surroundings. Nablus Street, which connects Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps, has also suffered significant damage due to the earth mounds erected by Israeli enemy forces several months ago. Their heavy presence and the installation of flying and sudden checkpoints impede vehicle movement and increase the suffering of Palestinian civilians. The city of Tulkarm and its suburbs are also witnessing intense activity by Israeli vehicles and infantry units, with military reinforcements deployed around the clock. These forces deliberately obstruct the movement of citizens and vehicles, provocatively sounding their horns and driving against traffic. Israeli enemy forces arrested Palestinian citizens Bahaa Bassam Shadid and Muhammad Ibrahim Sakr after raiding their homes in the northern neighborhood of the city. Israeli enemy forces also continued to close the iron gate at Anab military checkpoint at the eastern entrance to the city, preventing vehicles from passing. They are also present from time to time at the southern entrance to the city, specifically around Jabara Bridge gate, obstructing traffic and often closing the gate. The ongoing Israeli aggression on the city and its two camps has so far resulted in the deaths of 13 civilians, including a child and two women, one of whom was eight months pregnant. Dozens of injuries and arrests have also been reported, as well as widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, shops, and vehicles. According to the latest data, the escalation has displaced more than 5,000 families from the two camps, representing more than 25,000 citizens. At least 400 homes have been completely destroyed, and 2,573 others have been partially damaged. The entrances to the camps remain blocked with barricades, transforming them into almost lifeless areas. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)
