Houthi warns of 'very dangerous' eventuality if Muslims fail to curb Israel
The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement has lashed out at Muslim nations over their silence and inaction in the face of Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip.
Delivering a televised speech from the Yemeni capital Sana’a on Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said the inaction has emboldened the occupying regime to commit more vicious crimes.
“The silence of the Muslim Ummah has given the Israeli enemy the courage to perpetrate more crimes, and provoke more conflicts,” Houthi said.
“The Islamic Ummah has a grave and heavy responsibility in helping the Palestinian people, who are enduring gross and incomparable injustice,” he said.
“Shirking this responsibility has very dangerous consequences because this responsibility is towards God.”
Houthi said Muslims can assist Palestinians to a great extent, warning that their apathy will certainly create a perilous situation.
The scale of the crimes of the Zionist regime, he said, has even prompted Zionists to protest.
“One of the Zionists has written that he never believed such crimes would ever occur, where the massacre of 100 people in a single night in the Gaza Strip could be a regular occurrence.
“This statement reflects the sorry state of one billion Muslims and their feelings towards the worst crimes committed against the children of the Ummah.
“This is the painful situation of the Ummah with such a large population and resources, large armies, and military and economic capabilities and capabilities,” he added.
Houthi said, “As long as the official response remains limited to issuing statements and without practical action, the enemy will continue its genocide and crimes.”
“The statements of Arab and Islamic regimes contain cold and lifeless phrases, only asking others to do something for Palestine, as if the Ummah itself has no responsibility.”
Houthi said many Zionist leaders and commanders have concluded that the criminal onslaught on the Gaza Strip is futile and pointless.
“Some former officials, such as Ehud Olmert, have also admitted that the war in the Gaza Strip is fruitless.”
The Ansarullah chief said genocide and starvation of the residents of the Gaza Strip continue and have reached unprecedented levels.
“The famine and hunger and the catastrophic situation in the Gaza Strip are a great scandal for the international community and global institutions. This famine and hunger are a disgrace for the Muslim world and Arab countries.
“If there were a tinge of zeal, humanity, and a sense of responsibility left, the cries of women were enough to stir up the emotion of millions of Muslims,” he added.
Houthi touched on Yemen’s operations in solidarity with the Palestinians, saying the country’s forces targeted Israel with “eight hypersonic and ballistic missiles and drones” this week.
Three missiles were launched at Lod Airport (Ben Gurion) in Tel Aviv, he said, adding many airlines have extended their suspension of flights to Occupied Palestine, which is significant.
“Zionist statements reveal the extent of the impact of Yemeni operations and demonstrate the Israeli enemy’s inability to deter or influence the Yemeni position,” he said.
Houthi touched on the Israeli aggression on Yemeni ports in Hudaydah, saying 22 aerial raids had failed to stop Yemeni operations.
“The enemy’s escalation calls for escalation in action, support, and intensive attention,” he said.
