The leader of the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, sharply criticized what he described as the “failure of the Islamic and Arab nations” in responding to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe and aggression in the Gaza Strip. He warned that abandoning responsibility poses a grave danger to the entire Ummah (nation) and that it will be held accountable both in this world and the hereafter.
In a speech delivered Sunday evening, Al-Houthi stated that the Muslim world watches the immense tragedy in Gaza—witnessing its children and women starving and besieged—while hundreds of millions of Arabs and two billion Muslims remain passive spectators.
He added that this overwhelming inaction is precisely what has emboldened the Israeli enemy, and its American backers, to continue committing crimes against the Palestinian people without fear of consequences.
Al-Houthi reaffirmed that Yemen’s position on the Palestinian cause is “principled and unwavering,” and emphasized that the Yemeni people continue their active and serious mobilization against American and Israeli tyranny—whether through military operations, popular actions, or full-scale mobilization.
He noted that Yemen has faced thousands of airstrikes, a harsh blockade, severe restrictions on humanitarian aid, and a systematic economic war as a result of its stance in support of Gaza. Yet none of this has weakened its position.
Al-Houthi stressed that what is happening in Gaza is not just the injustice of one people—it is the injustice of an entire Ummah, describing the American-Israeli threat as a universal one targeting all.
He concluded by saying: “It is our people’s awareness and Qur’anic insight that lie behind this great steadfastness and unshakable faith, which has not been broken by challenges nor defeated by the machinery of aggression.”
