The leader of the Yemeni revolution, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, warned against the “satanic soft war” targeting the Islamic nation’s faith identity.
In a televised speech marking the birth anniversary of Sayyeda Fatimah Al-Zahra’a and the International Day of the Muslim Woman, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi described it (the soft war) as “the fiercest of contemporary wars and the most influential on the consciousness and directions of peoples.”
Sayyid Al-Houthi stated that what Muslims face today “is not only a military war, but a vast soft operation seeking to shape new cultures and deviant loyalties that distance the nation from the path of Islam and link it to misleading parties.”
He added that “the crimes of the Israeli occupation against Palestinian women—including killing, targeting, and humiliation—constitute bloody scenes that have stirred the global human conscience, while the majority of Arab and Islamic regimes remain without a genuine stance.”
Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi accused some Arab regimes of “providing financial, intelligence, and media support to the Israeli enemy,” considering this support to represent “the clearest manifestations of the terrible imbalance in the nation’s reality and its moral and human decline.”
He emphasized that “the acceptance of the concept of impunity by some Arab regimes and elites” reveals a “dangerous shift in vision and insight and a flaw in consciousness,” pointing out that parties within the region “have adopted a distorted concept of peace, making it a title for surrender and acceptance of the occupation’s control.”
Sayyid Al-Houthi’s speech coincides with escalating tension in recent days on the Syrian front with occupied Palestine, particularly in Quneitra, a sensitive area subject to strict rules under the disengagement agreements since the 1970s.
Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi linked the situation in Quneitra and the security vacuum there to what he described as the “hypocrisy option” of some dominant groups in Syria, accusing them of “being linked to the Americans and not being hostile to Israel, but rather seeking a relationship with it despite the raids and occupation.”
He said that this model “expresses the image of deviation that has afflicted a part of the nation due to soft warfare and the replacement of concepts,” considering that the acceptance by some of those groups of policies aiming at “changing the Middle East” serves “complete Israeli hegemony.”
Concluding his speech, Sayyid Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi stressed the importance of drawing inspiration from “the model of Sayyeda Fatima Al-Zahra’s and the symbols of faith” to revive the Islamic spirit and build a consciousness capable of confronting “cultural and political subservience.”
He concluded that the nation needs to “restore its global role in supporting the oppressed and breaking the hegemony of the aggressor powers, instead of being dependent on the arrogant.”
