Religious and Secular Zionists Unite for the Vision of a Greater Israel

In a recent televised address, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi condemned the ongoing violence in Gaza, which he described as a “genocide” that has persisted for 19 consecutive months. This situation has drawn significant international attention and has raised urgent questions about the responsibilities of the Islamic world in addressing such humanitarian crises.

During his speech, Houthi emphasized the gravity of the situation, stating that the atrocities in Gaza are being broadcast live, making it imperative for the Islamic Ummah, particularly the Arab nations, to act against this oppression. He remarked, “The genocide in Gaza is broadcast live, unlike past atrocities that were only known after the fact. This places immense responsibility on the Islamic Ummah, especially the Arabs, who bear sacred duties in jihad and standing against oppression,” according to Press TV.

Houthi warned that the continued neglect of Gaza by the Ummah could lead to severe divine consequences. He stated, “The more the oppression increases, the heavier the responsibility and the greater the punishment.” He expressed a concern that fear, greed, and corrupted education have stripped the Ummah of its moral compass, conscience, and dignity.

In his address, Houthi highlighted the disdain Israel holds for even those Arab nations that attempt to normalize relations with it. He claimed that both religious and secular Zionism are unified in their objective to “destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the so-called temple.”

He criticized certain Arab leaders who are more offended by public criticism than by the Zionist ideology that dehumanizes them. “Some Arab rulers are enraged by public criticism but not by the Zionist belief that views them as lower than animals—a disgraceful level of subjugation and moral decay,” he asserted.

Despite the grim circumstances, Houthi praised the resilience of the Palestinian people, noting their unwavering courage in the face of adversity. He stated, “The Palestinian people continue to fight with courage and resolve, and their fighters’ operations prove their effectiveness and unbreakable stance.” He underscored the need for comprehensive support from the Ummah, saying, “Despite facing a genocidal war, their spiritual strength remains intact—but they need the full support of the Ummah.”

Houthi contrasted the overwhelming military and political backing Israel receives from the US and other Western nations with the Islamic world’s failure to fulfill its responsibilities toward Palestine. He pointed out Yemen’s steadfast commitment to supporting the Palestinian cause, both militarily and politically.

• From March 15 to May 7, Yemen conducted 131 operations in support of Palestine.
• These operations involved the launch of 253 ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic missiles and drones.
• Houthi noted the ongoing American aggression against Yemen, which has not deterred their support for Palestine.

This week, Houthi reported that 10 missiles and drones were launched targeting various locations, including Yafa, Asqalan, and occupied Haifa. Notably, he mentioned a significant missile strike on Lod Airport (Ben Gurion), which garnered global attention and highlighted vulnerabilities in Israel’s defense systems. Houthi stated, “The strike on Lod Airport drew major global attention and exposed the enemy’s vulnerability.”

He further explained that the Ben Gurion Airport was successfully targeted despite having four layers of air defense, including the advanced American THAAD system. The implications of this strike were substantial, forcing over 3 million Zionists into shelters, disrupting airport operations, and leading to considerable commercial losses.

Houthi concluded by noting that at least 27 international airlines suspended flights to Israel as a direct result of these operations, underscoring the significant impact of Yemen’s military actions. His remarks serve as a reminder of the ongoing conflict and the urgent need for international attention and intervention in the humanitarian crisis facing the people of Gaza.
