News - Yemen: Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi issued a stern warning on Sunday regarding the dangers posed by the Zionist entity’s regional project under the banner of “Changing the Middle East,” criticizing the “shameful inaction” of some Arab regimes. 

He reaffirmed Yemen’s unwavering support for Palestine and the continuation of its revolutionary path toward building a strong and sovereign state despite all challenges.

Speaking on the Yemeni stance toward Gaza, Sayyed Abdulmalik emphasized that Yemen’s position is “great, recognized by the entire world, and even acknowledged by the Israeli enemy,” noting its tangible impact on the Israeli enemy’s economic situation.

He described Yemen’s position as “unique in a world surrounded by widespread Islamic inaction,” pointing out that “the sole activity of Zionist tools is to distort, discredit, and diminish the value of Yemen’s position.”

He further highlighted that these tools “echo Israeli rhetoric and positions against the Yemeni people, and even showcase their readiness to fight alongside the Israeli enemy,” adding that they have gone as far as hosting Zionist spies. He stressed that “all enemy efforts are currently aimed at eliminating the Yemeni front by all means, as they seek to monopolize the Palestinian issue.”

Regional Threats Beyond Palestine

Sayyed Abdulmalik warned that “the Israeli enemy poses a serious danger to the entire Ummah, acting under the broad banner of ‘Changing the Middle East.’” He clarified that the Zionist plans extend beyond Gaza to the Gulf states’ vast resources, sacred sites, and holy cities, including Al-Aqsa, Mecca, and Medina.

He stressed that the Israeli enemy respects no one—not mercenaries nor even their regional masters—citing Israeli aggressions on countries such as Syria, Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq. 

He described Israel’s aggression against Qatar as a “lesson for all Ummah countries, particularly the Gulf states,” emphasizing that the Israeli entity does not honor any agreements, even those guaranteed by the United States, with repeated violations against the Palestinian Authority, Lebanon, and Gaza.

Sayyed Abdulmalik warned that any security agreements with Syria “will not protect Syria at all,” stressing that the Israeli enemy will continue its incursions and expansionist projects, including the “David Corridor” aiming for the Euphrates and targeting minority groups.

Arab Inaction and US Backing

The leader strongly criticized the Arab official stance, noting that “Arab states have yet to adopt the simplest practical measures, such as boycotting and halting military cooperation with the Israeli enemy.” He revealed that some Gulf and Arab states cooperate with the Israeli enemy's intelligence services and “even oppose the fronts that resist it,” adopting “the same Israeli positions against the Yemeni front.”

He added that “symbolic gestures toward the Palestinian people by some Arab states coincide with continued billions in aid to the Israeli enemy,” asserting that their official positions “do not reach the standards set by Colombia, Spain, Venezuela, or South Africa.”

He attributed the continuation of Israeli aggression to “unconditional American support,” highlighting US vetoes that block efforts to halt attacks on Gaza, and described European recognition of a Palestinian state as “merely a media stance without real impact.”

Revolutionary Path Continues

Domestically, Sayyed Abdulmalik affirmed that “our revolutionary path continues, to correct and reform official institutions and pursue economic revival,” despite facing pressures from the US, the Israeli enemy, and their allies.

He pointed to “decades of looting that left a terrible legacy,” revealing that “over $500 billion of the nation’s oil wealth was lost without building an economic structure for the people over 30 years.”

He added that those who controlled the country “prioritized personal gains, amassing vast companies and assets,” citing a UN Security Council report noting “over $60 billion controlled by one individual.”

Concluding on an optimistic note, Sayyed Abdulmalik stressed that “our people are a great nation with faith, Quranic insight, and reliance on Allah. With this, Yemen will overcome all difficulties and challenges,” adding that these challenges “will transform Yemen into a productive economy and a strong military power.” He reaffirmed that the Yemeni people “remain steadfast in their noble positions, supporting the Palestinian people against the Zionist entity’s project aimed at exploiting the entire Ummah.”

The September 21 Revolution, led by Ansarullah in 2014, toppled Yemen’s former government and ended years of US tutelage over the country’s decision-making. Since 2015, Yemen has faced a devastating US-Saudi-led military intervention. The war, now in its second decade, has entrenched Ansarullah as the dominant force in northern Yemen, while Yemen’s alignment with the Palestinian cause and its confrontations with the Israeli enemy in the Red Sea have given the revolution a regional dimension.
