The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement says the recent rising aggression by the “evil trio” of the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel against the Arab country will not affect the determination of Yemeni people to support Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised speech on Tuesday to commemorate the 20th martyrdom anniversary of former Ansarullah chief Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi, who was killed while leading a revolt against the then-Saudi-backed regime in 2004.
Houthi said the late Ansarullah leader promoted steadfastness and sacrifice in the face of the US invasion and colonialism, and reaffirmed the necessity of unity and confronting the conspiracies targeting Muslim nations.
Houthi praised the valor of Yemeni people in the fight against the global arrogance and threats from hegemonic powers, saying, “Our nation today is a very great nation with the most important geographical locations, which enjoys very enormous economic resources,” but it has been shackled.
The Ansarullah leader underscored Yemen’s firm stance on supporting Palestinians in Gaza by launching retaliatory attacks on Israeli-tied shipping in the Red Sea despite rising aggression by the US and its allies against the Arab country.
“The United States terrorizes most of countries, most of their leaders, and most of their armies with the language of threat or intimidation. What is the position of our Islamic nation in comparison with the Arab world and elsewhere, who are hundreds of millions, regarding what is happening today in Palestine?” Houthi said.
“Our beloved people, despite the fact that after the aggression that lasted nine years and has not ended yet, took a distinguished position,” he added. “We set out to confront the evil trio of America, Israel, and Britain, and we are ready for the sacrifice and are confident of victory.”
Stressing that Yemen is a free country, which cannot be influenced by US hegemony or authority, the Ansarullah chief said, “If we had been followers of treason and connivance, the Americans and the British would not have carried out the aggression against us.”
Houthi said, “No matter what the evil trio does, it will not affect our position and will not break the will of our people,” adding, “The Americans are trying to camouflage their ships by putting the flags of another country on them and fleeing like the Israelis do.”
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement also stressed, “They must stop the war on Gaza and bring in medicine and food; otherwise, we will seek escalation.”
