After Sana’a announced the resumption of its operations against Israeli shipping as a necessary step to break the blockade on the Gaza Strip, the positions of Arab countries varied negatively.
The leader of the Houthis (Ansar Allah) stated in a speech this evening that blame should be directed at the Israeli entity rather than Sana’a, which has taken it upon itself to support the Palestinians. He emphasized that the Israeli entity is responsible for starving the Palestinian people in Gaza and that all escalatory measures against the entity will be in response to its aggressive actions.
He confirmed that any Israeli vessel crossing in the declared operational area would be considered a legitimate target, describing this as a necessary practical step.
He explained that the Israeli entity’s actions, including preventing aid from entering Gaza and closing the crossings, aim to starve the people of Gaza, saying: “Starving two million Palestinians in Gaza is a major crime that qualifies as a war crime, a crime against humanity.”
He also expressed surprise at the reaction of some Arab regimes, stating: “Some strongly oppose us because we support Palestine, and there are even some sympathetic countries that described our stance as reckless or foolish. We understand that those who stand with the truth are attacked, but this will not deter us.”
The Houthi leader criticized the Arab stance, emphasizing that silence and stagnation in the Arab position regarding this escalation and the forced displacement is a great sin and a major shirking of responsibility.
He added that all pressure and criticism should be directed at the Israeli entity, as it is responsible for starving Gaza, and everyone should support any practical step to break the blockade.
The leader of the Houthis (Ansar Allah) confirmed that these operations will not stop unless the Israeli entity halts the starvation of the Palestinian people in Gaza, noting that all practical options are on the table if the entity continues to obstruct the entry of aid.
