Houthi Leader calls for unified Arab and Muslim against 'Zionist-American project'
Shafaq News/ On Thursday, Yemen's Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused Israel of 'committing genocide' in Gaza and the West Bank, claiming the campaign is fully backed by the United States. In a televised speech, al-Houthi called for nationwide mobilization across Yemen in support of Palestinians, arguing that Arab silence emboldens Israeli aggression. He claimed over 7,000 settlers entered Al-Aqsa Mosque during Passover, describing the move as a calculated attempt to 'normalize occupation' and ignite religious tensions. Referencing a viral video depicting the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the construction of a Third Temple, al-Houthi said it reflected Israel's long-term goals, accusing Israeli forces of targeting hospitals, refugee camps, and critical infrastructure, and using starvation as a 'tactic of war.' The Houthi leader also labeled the US a 'partner in crime,' citing continued arms shipments and diplomatic protection for Israeli military operations. He praised Palestinian resistance in Gaza and criticized Arab governments for failing to act, contrasting what he called 'popular solidarity with official inaction.' He urged a unified Arab and Muslim front to counter what he called the 'Zionist-American project.' The Houthi leader claimed Houthi forces had launched nine drone and cruise missile attacks in the past week, disrupting Israeli and American naval operations in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea. 'The Bab al-Mandab and the Arabian Sea are closed to Israeli and American ships. That's a fact.' He concluded by warning that continued complicity with Israel would lead to regional catastrophe. 'Resistance is the only path that protects dignity, land, and faith.' Turning to Lebanon, the Yemeni leader accused Washington of attempting to destabilize the country by pressuring factions to side with Israel. He defended Hezbollah as a key line of defense and denounced Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, claiming Israeli forces had made no advances near the border.

Yemen :Houthi Leader Declares Intensified Operations Against US Warships and Israeli Targets
In a televised address today, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen's Ansarullah movement, delivered a speech that underscored the group's stance on ongoing regional conflicts. His remarks shed light on the escalating tensions involving Israel, the United States, and Yemen's role in the broader geopolitical landscape. Al-Houthi emphasized the group's commitment to targeting American naval vessels, particularly the USS Truman and its escort ships. He claimed that Ansarullah forces have conducted 33 operations against these targets, utilizing ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones. The leader highlighted the group's success in downing 19 American MQ-9 drones since March 25, showcasing their evolving capabilities in aerial combat. Al-Houthi reiterated the group's support for Palestine, condemning Israeli actions in Gaza and the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque. He framed the group's military actions as part of a broader resistance against perceived aggression by Israel and its allies1. The speech included sharp criticism of American airstrikes in Yemen, which he described as unjustified aggression. He accused the US of committing crimes against Yemeni civilians and vowed continued resistance. Al-Houthi's speech reflects the intensifying conflict in the region, with Yemen's Ansarullah movement positioning itself as a key player in resistance against Western and Israeli actions. The remarks are likely to further strain relations and provoke responses from the involved parties.

America Has Failed To Secure Red Sea Navigation
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Yemen's Houthi group, is once again directly challenging the United States by essentially declaring victory over US naval operations in the Red Sea. At this point US Central Command (CENTCOM) has launched literally hundreds of strikes in various places across Yemen over the last three weeks, especially the capital as well as the key port of Hodeidah. Al-Houthi on Thursday declared that the 'US failed to prevent military operations and secure maritime navigation for the Israeli enemy.' 'Despite all the escalation, the Americans have failed to stop our missile and drone attacks,' he continued. 'Failure to support the Palestinian people has serious consequences and emboldens the enemy.' This week was kicked off with yet more Houthi attacks on US warships in the Red Sea, at a moment a second US aircraft carrier is en route toward Mideast waters: The Iran-backed Houthis aren't backing down – at least not yet. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said the Iranian-backed terror group targeted US warships and Israel on Wednesday, adding that some of the attacks involved drones. 'The Yemeni Armed Forces [Houthis] have carried out new drone operations, targeting a US warship in the Red Sea and an Israeli military site in Tel Aviv,' Iranian state media said. More drone and ballistic missile attacks have also been launched directly on Israel of late. There's been no evidence that Houthi attacks have so much as slowed due to the ramped-up US operations since March 15. Fully stamping out the Houthi movement could prove nearly impossible, especially as currently this is limited to an air war. Even the Atlantic Council has admitted that 'The United States' ability to track al-Houthi is likely hindered by limited intelligence on the ground in Yemen.'
