News - Yemen: The leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi confirmed that the Israeli enemy committed over 30 massacres this week, resulting in more than 1,300 Palestinians killed and injured, most of them children and women.

He noted that estimates suggest over 2,000 Palestinians have been martyred and more than 4,000 injured during the brutal escalation in northern Gaza.

In his speech, Thursday, regarding the latest developments in Palestine and Lebanon, Sayyed Abdulmalik explained that Israel is blocking the entry of food and medical supplies, imposing forced displacement on residents of northern Gaza under bombardment, massacres, and starvation.

He added that the Israeli enemy, failing in military confrontation and unable to achieve its declared objectives, has adopted a criminal strategy of indiscriminate targeting of civilians. However, steadfast Palestinians in Gaza remain resilient, united, and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.

The leader highlighted that Al-Qassam Brigades conducted around 16 operations this week, involving ambushes and direct confrontations with Israeli soldiers, causing them losses. He added that rocket attacks by Al-Quds Brigades on the settlement of "Sderot," alongside operations by other factions, demonstrate the enemy’s inability to eliminate the resistance factions.

He continued: "As we have repeatedly stated, committing grave crimes does not represent a military achievement, regardless of the number of child and female victims. The enemy remains in a clear and definite state of failure despite the passing time and accumulated atrocities."

Arab Apathy

Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that there is nothing new in the Arab and Islamic stance in response to the horrific crimes and escalation currently taking place in northern Gaza. He explained that the Arab and Islamic response to Gaza's suffering is a clear indication of deep humanitarian, ethical, and spiritual bankruptcy.

He added that many people in our nation have chosen to remain spectators, taking no stance, even at a diplomatic level. This is very disheartening. Even in Arab and Islamic political diplomacy, there is no genuine stance.

He pointed out that some official regimes continue to classify Palestinian fighters as terrorists for no reason other than their struggle and defense of their people and holy sites.

Sayyed Abdulmalik said: "The fighters in Palestine have harmed no one of these regimes that classify them as terrorists and remain keen to maintain positive relations with all members of the nation," noting that all Israeli crimes in Gaza have not led some Arab regimes to even label Israel as a terrorist.

He confirmed that some Arab media outlets openly and shamefully support Israel, a stance that is unprecedented, even compared to past times. He added: "The Arab stance and, to some extent, the Islamic stance, with some exceptions, remind us of the beginning of the tragedy faced by the Palestinian people."

Britain and the Establishment of Israel

The leader explained that Britain, which once sold illusions and promises to the Arabs, is paralleled today by the US, who has also turned its back on them. 

British leaders once told the Arabs who supported and cooperated with them, "You are fools; it’s your problem if you believe our promises," he said.

He pointed out that the Zionist movement operated within a project supported by Western powers in Britain, the United States, and Europe, confirming that the Zionist project targets the Islamic and Arab nations in every aspect—land, honor, religion, and livelihood.

Sayyed Abdulmalik noted that, from the beginning, the Jewish settlers lacked the demographic strength to spread across the Arab world, starting instead with Palestine.

"Jewish Zionist migration came from all parts of the world to Palestine under British sponsorship. Despite the oppression they faced in Western countries, they, filled with hatred, directed their hostility against Muslims."

He added: "Those who joined the Zionist project aimed to target our nation based on religious beliefs, working toward what they call ‘Greater Israel’ and seeking to control the entire region."

Sayyed Abdulmalik confirmed that Britain initiated the plan to occupy Palestine without facing any provocation from most Arab countries, except in rare areas they hadn't reached. He pointed out that some Arab regimes at that time even assisted the British in suppressing the Palestinian revolutionary movement during critical periods.

He explained that the Israeli enemy’s criminal approach began from the very first day, long before Iran had any involvement in the Arab region.

“The Zionist project targets the entire Muslim and Arab world. Israel seeks to exert absolute dominance over the West Asia region,” Sayyed Abdulmalik said.

“Once Muslims begin fulfilling their obligations towards Palestinians, God will support them.” 

He also pointed out that the dispersion of Jews over thousands of years was a divine mercy, given the significant danger they posed to human society. 

He explained that the state of humiliation experienced by the Jews restrained their ability to gain influence and control, and that the current exceptional situation is due to the negligence of the Islamic nation, with the Arabs at the forefront.
