The leader of Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, condemned the
systematic genocide in the Gaza Strip, stressing that the atrocities
committed by the Israeli occupation are not isolated war crimes
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/attacks-near-gaza-aid-sites-are-war-crimes--united-nations>
but part of a deliberate campaign to eradicate the Palestinian people under
the auspices of the United States.

In a televised speech on Thursday, Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that "the
daily criminal behavior of the Israeli occupation in Gaza reveals an intent
to eliminate Palestinian existence altogether, not merely to achieve
military gains." He warned that entire families have been wiped from civil
records in a pattern reminiscent of the worst crimes in modern history.

Sayyed al-Houthi cited a 41% drop in birth rates and a 10% population
decline in Gaza this year alone as concrete evidence of the Zionist
project’s attempt to depopulate the besieged territory
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us--israel--plan-to-displace-gaza-residents-under-humanitari>.
He also highlighted the Israeli regime’s use of contractors to finish
demolishing buildings, supported by a steady flow of bulldozers from the
US.
Al-Quds, al-Khalil facing accelerated Judaization

Sayyed al-Houthi warned of the increasingly aggressive Israeli Judaization
policies in occupied al-Quds and al-Khalil, criticizing the normalization
of once-outrageous violations against holy sites.

He noted that the occupation authorities had organized a film festival near
the Old City of al-Quds as part of efforts to impose a Jewish identity on
the city. In al-Khalil, he condemned the Israeli regime’s recent move to strip
the local municipality of authority
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--seizes-more-land-in-al-khalil-for-settler-road>
over the Ibrahimi Mosque, calling it another step in a long-term scheme of
erasure and domination.

“The enemy no longer hides its real intentions,” al-Houthi said. “It has
become openly hostile to any notion of a Palestinian state, whether in the
West Bank or elsewhere.”
United States architect of genocide

The Ansar Allah leader placed direct blame on Washington for the war on Gaza
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-strikes-rip-through-gaza--killing-17-in-aid-area-and>,
describing the aggression as “American before Israeli.”

“This is a fully coordinated project,” he said, “with the Zionist role
being merely operational. The planning, intelligence, weapons, and
political cover all come from the United States.”

Sayyed al-Houthi argued that this alignment reflects a broader American
strategy to subjugate the region
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--deepens-incursion-in-syria-s-quneitra-region--exclu>,
not merely a temporary alliance or political stance. He linked the massacre
in Gaza with other American-led projects in Lebanon and Syria, which he
said form part of the same imperialist blueprint targeting the broader Arab
and Islamic world.

He also lamented the complicity of certain Arab regimes that continue to
fund the aggression through US arms deals. “It is deeply regrettable,” he
said, “that Arab money is still financing the Israeli war effort via
American intermediaries.”
Armed resistance in Gaza prevents Israeli expansion

Sayyed al-Houthi hailed the resilience and ingenuity of Palestinian
resistance factions, especially in Gaza, for inflicting ongoing military
and psychological defeats on the Israeli occupation. He praised the
late Mohammad
Deif
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/who-is-mohammad-deif--the-resistance-leader--bane-of--israel>,
the martyred commander of al-Qassam Brigades, calling him a symbol of
faith-driven resistance and tactical excellence.

Deif and his comrades, according to al-Houthi, launched their resistance
from the ground up, yet managed to cripple the enemy's momentum, proving
the effectiveness of armed resistance even under extreme conditions.

Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that the Palestinian resistance
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-qassam--al-quds-brigades-target-israeli-forces-in-gaza-op>
was crucial in preventing the conflict from expanding into a wider regional
war, crediting it with halting the Israeli regime’s ambitions to escalate
militarily across borders.

He also noted the Israeli occupation's ongoing manpower crisis, pointing to
its struggles in recruiting ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim) into military
service.
Warning against resistance defamation

Finally, Sayyed al-Houthi warned of intensive media campaigns aimed at
demoralizing supporters of the Palestinian cause and portraying resistance
as futile or “suicidal.”

He insisted that the path of resistance is not only legitimate but proven,
and that surrender only deepens the region’s subjugation. “Freedom will
never come from the colonizer,” he said. “Dignity is restored only through
defiance and steadfastness.”

The Israeli economic media outlet *The Marker* reported that the port of
Eilat will completely cease

 operations starting next Sunday after the city municipality froze its bank
accounts due to millions of shekels in accumulated debts.

This development comes as the port has faced near-total paralysis
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-strikes-two-israeli-targets-in-eilat-hours-after-tel-a?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=Eilat>
 since November 2023, when Yemen imposed a naval blockade on ships heading
to "Israel", leading to a sharp decline in revenue and a collapse in
commercial activity at the facility.
Yemen devastates Israeli economy

The Eilat Municipality announced that it had frozen the port's bank
accounts due to massive accumulated debts, and according to the Israeli
economic outlet *The Marker*, all operations will come to a complete halt
starting Sunday, signaling a total economic shutdown of the port
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--and-the-yemen-dilemma--a-perpetual-war-with-no-exit?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=%23Yemen%20%23Israel>
.

The crisis at Eilat Port began when Yemeni forces imposed a naval blockade
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-resumes-naval-blockade-against-israeli-ships-in-suppor?utm_source=mango-searchx&utm_medium=title_and_relatives&utm_campaign=naval%20blockade>
 on ships heading to "Israel," prompting international shipping companies
to avoid the Red Sea route, which brought the port's operations to a near
standstill and caused a collapse in its revenue.

Earlier, Israeli business newspaper *The Marker* revealed that Eilat Port's
revenues had plummeted by 80% in 2024 after ships stopped docking there due
to Yemen's maritime blockade in the Red Sea, which was imposed in support
of the Gaza Strip
