Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the Leader of the Revolution, described this past week as one of the bloodiest in the history of the ongoing Zionist aggression against the Gaza Strip. Over 3,000 people have been martyred, most of them children and women, while many bodies remain trapped under rubble, unreachable by rescue teams.
In his speech on Thursday regarding the escalation of Zionist aggression in Gaza and the latest developments, the leader stated: “The enemy entity employs starvation and thirst as tools of war. Palestinian families are suffering unprecedented famine, with some households reduced to one meal every two days.”
“Hospitals are continuously targeted, ambulances are blocked from reaching the wounded, and relief teams are prevented from delivering essential aid, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.”
He described the humanitarian situation as “catastrophic,” holding Arab and Islamic regimes responsible for their failure to support the Palestinian people. He emphasized that “the escalating, systematic genocide carried out by the Zionist enemy entity against civilians in Gaza—through intense bombardment of homes, shelters, and hospitals—has wiped out entire families.”
Additionally, the leader addressed Israeli crimes in the West Bank, including the desecration of Al-Aqsa Mosque, attacks on worshippers, the Judaization of Quds through settlement projects, and systematic abductions and destruction in cities like Jenin. He noted that the occupation army has demolished hundreds of homes and displaced thousands of civilians.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik highlighted the military failures of the Zionist enemy entity despite unlimited American support, stressing that its army compensates for battlefield defeats by committing more crimes and massacres against defenseless civilians.
He called the Zionist army “the most cowardly in the world,” explaining that it relies on indiscriminate bombing and infrastructure destruction before advancing. He cited Western and Zionist statements admitting the enemy’s failure to achieve its goals, including the British Prime Minister’s description of the bombing as “genocide” and testimonies from Zionist soldiers who admitted to killing children “just for fun.”
The heroic resilience of the Palestinian resistance, particularly in the battles of Khan Younis and northern Gaza, proves that the will of the people surpasses the Zionist war machine, with divine support granting the mujahideen steadfastness and determination.
Crimes Funded by Arab Money
The leader addressed the American role and Arab financial support enabling Zionist brutality, with the enemy benefiting from US stockpiles supplying massive quantities of bombs and shells—operations funded by Arab money “amounting to trillions of dollars.”
He pointed out that a significant portion of these funds supports the bombs and shells raining down on Gaza, causing the suffering of children and women, effectively making it “a genocide of the Palestinian people financed by Arab money.”
The leader clarified that these actions heavily impact the US economy, but the greater responsibility lies with Arabs and Muslims, whose financial cooperation with Israel constitutes complicity in aggression, placing a heavy burden on them to confront it.
Regarding European governments’ responses to widespread public protests over the Palestinian tragedy, the leader noted that while some official statements condemn Zionist atrocities, they do not reflect the actual stance of European nations.
He affirmed that “despite some condemnations, real support for Israel persists, especially through arms supplies, revealing a disconnect between proclaimed humanitarian positions and actions on the ground.”
On the Incident at the Israeli Embassy in Washington
The leader summarized the incident involving the killing of two Zionists at the Israeli embassy in Washington, which the US is attempting to frame as “a defining issue of the 21st century.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik emphasized that “the core problem lies in the reactions, showcasing America’s and some Western nations’ biased and unjust stance,” as they side with the oppressors against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
He stated that “the killing of the two Israelis is being exploited to inflame tensions and suppress opposition to the genocide in Gaza,” adding that “America treats this incident as a major crisis warranting full security, military, media, and political mobilization, with extreme measures—even weaponizing it against popular protests under the guise of combating antisemitism.”
In contrast, “the killing and injuring of over 186,000 people in Gaza is treated as normal, not yet classified as a crime or terrorism by Americans,” exposing double standards and the abandonment of justice regarding Palestinian massacres.
The leader condemned the silence of the Arab and Islamic world, which provides cover for ongoing crimes, lamenting that regimes’ positions have been reduced to mere condemnatory statements without practical action.
He called on the Islamic nation to fulfill its religious and humanitarian duty in supporting Gaza, warning of the consequences of continued inaction, which emboldens the enemy to escalate its crimes in full view of the world.
Condemning Silence and Calling for Action
Sayyed Abdul-Malik expressed on Thursday his regret over Arab and Islamic countries supplying goods and food to the Israeli enemy and participating in military training exercises, considering that a clear betrayal of Palestine amid escalating genocide in Gaza.
He said, “One of the most regrettable and striking things is the participation of the Moroccan regime and Arab countries in air training exercises with the Israeli enemy.”
He pointed out that the Moroccan regime was involved in normalization, disregarded the popular will and the issues of its nation, and implicated itself in betraying the nation.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik added that the enemy continues to escalate its crimes and genocide in a horrific manner, while most official regimes limit themselves to issuing statements without taking any practical action, noting that ships from an Islamic country and an Arab country are among the largest ships supplying the Israeli enemy and the Zionists with food and goods across the Mediterranean.
He pointed out that the statements of Arab and Islamic regimes contain tepid and weak expressions, calling on others to take steps in support of the Palestinian people, “as if we were a nation denying its responsibility.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik stressed that the Islamic nation bears a great responsibility in supporting the Palestinian people in the face of this clear and unparalleled injustice. He added that the nation’s silence gives the Israeli enemy an opportunity to commit crimes with audacity, reassured by the lack of a response.
He expressed his hope to see demonstrations in Arab and Islamic countries on the scale of the ongoing movements in some Western countries.
Regarding European positions on what is happening in Gaza, Sayyed Al-Houthi commented that some European governments have shown unusual positions, but they are still insufficient to keep pace with the enormity of the Israeli crimes.
He called on the European countries to stop arming the Israeli entity and take strict decisions, including imposing real sanctions and severing economic ties with it.
Yemeni Military Operations
The Leader addressed the escalating trajectory of the Yemeni support front in the battle of sacred conquest and jihad.
He pointed out that Yemen carried out operations this week with eight hypersonic and ballistic missiles and drones deep into the enemy Israeli entity, including three missiles targeting Lod Airport, which the Israeli enemy calls [Ben Gurion].
He emphasized that this week’s operations were significant and had a major impact, as alarm sirens sounded across most occupied cities and towns, while numerous airlines extended the suspension of their flights to occupied Palestine.
Among the notable repercussions of Yemen’s operations targeting the depths of the enemy entity and [Ben Gurion] Airport was that millions of Zionists fled to shelters.
Additionally, Zionist statements and their media reveal the extent of Israeli frustration and despair in the face of the Yemeni support front.
The Leader highlighted that Zionist statements demonstrate the impact of Yemeni operations and expose the Israeli enemy’s inability to deter or influence the Yemeni stance.
He noted the incident of an American congressman, who was in a market in occupied Palestine, fleeing into a chicken refrigerator when the alarm sirens sounded—revealing the level of panic caused by Yemeni missiles.
Salute to the Steadfast in Yemeni Ports
In his speech, the Leader pointed out that the Israeli aggression on the ports in Hodeidah Governorate, western Yemen—with 22 airstrikes this week—was an attempt by the enemy to establish a deterrent to stop Yemeni operations. However, it has completely failed.
He affirmed that the Israeli enemy has failed to influence or deter the Yemeni stance, stressing that Yemen’s position stems from faith, values, and morality and can never be reversed.
Sayyed Abdul Malik saluted the workers who steadfastly held their ground in Yemeni ports, who remained firm in carrying out their duties despite repeated attacks. He emphasized that their role is a form of jihad and steadfastness in the path of God, a highly significant contribution and part of their struggle, praising their efforts, patience, sacrifices, and resilience.
A Massive and Great Million-Man March
The Leader touched on last week’s million-man march, affirming that it was a “great, massive, and significant mobilization, with 1,121 marches, both large and small.”
He explained that the “massive, tremendous, and enormous million-man presence across governorates, districts, and rural areas was extremely widespread,” as were the ongoing tribal rallies and various continued activities.
Sayyed Abdul Malik called on the Yemeni people to participate in the massive, great, and tremendous million-man march tomorrow, Friday, in the capital Sana’a and across various governorates. He expressed hope that tomorrow’s turnout would be exceptional, befitting the values, faith, steadfastness, loyalty, and jihad of our people.
