The leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, during his weekly address, on Thursday, October
31, 2024 <em>(Screen grab from Yemeni Military Media)</em>
</li></div></ul>
<p>"Israel" is attempting to carry out the plans of its "<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-generals--plan--for-northern-gaza-doomed-to-failure--hamdan">criminal generals</a>
and bloodthirsty officers" to empty northern Gaza of its population,
pointed out the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Sayyed
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, on Thursday.</p>
<p>In his weekly speech, Sayyed al-Houthi said "Israel" seeks to
forcibly displace the Palestinian people from the northern Gaza Strip by
committing the most heinous crimes, adding that the occupation aims to
end all medical services in northern Gaza by targeting hospitals and
medical staff.</p>
<p>He also indicated that the Israeli <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/barghouti-pressured--assaulted-by-israeli-guards--son-says">crimes against Palestinian detainees</a> and captives are "among the most atrocious, perhaps unparalleled in all prisons."</p>
<h2>US whitewashing Israeli crimes </h2>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader accused the United States of covering up the
crimes of the Israeli occupation, noting that Washington is whitewashing
the Israeli crimes by justifying the genocide as an act of
"self-defense".</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi emphasized that the Israeli targeting of media and
journalists is aimed at "concealing the truth from the world."</p>
<p>According to the Yemeni leader, the "equation of impunity" allows
"Israel" to strike wherever it desires within any Muslim country without
fear of retaliation.</p>
<p>He warned that such an equation is unjust and wrongful, one that
poses a threat to the Islamic Ummah and should never be accepted by any
Muslim, Arab, or free nation worldwide.</p>
<h2>US, European call for Iran not to retaliate 'outrageous'</h2>
<p>Addressing ceasefire negotiations, Sayyed al-Houthi stated that
"Israel" demands the right to operate freely and seeks to deny any
country in the region independence, freedom, or sovereignty.</p>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader condemned recent calls by the US and European countries for Iran not to respond to the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-response-to--israel--inevitable--irgc-deputy-chief">latest Israeli aggression</a> on the country, labeling these demands as "outrageous".</p>
<p>He also pointed out that the military arsenal "Israel" relies upon to
execute its crimes is largely US-supplied, with US funds supporting 75%
of the occupation's logistical needs throughout the year.</p>
<p>US military bases and naval forces in the region, he added, serve to support "Israel" and exert regional pressure on its behalf.</p>
<p>On the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/glilot-became-a-symbol-for-hamas--hezbollah--iran--israeli-m">ramming operation that targeted dozens</a>
of Israeli officers and soldiers from Unit 8200, Sayyed al-Houthi
affirmed that this operation "instilled terror" in the Israelis and
heightened their anxiety and fear.</p>
<p>He further asserted that "Israel" has failed to achieve its
objectives, particularly in recovering its captives in the Gaza Strip
without a prisoner exchange deal.</p>
<h2>Lebanese Resistance showing tremendous resilience</h2>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader addressed the Israeli aggression on Lebanon,
stressing that over the course of a month-long ground assault on
southern Lebanon, the Resistance displayed tremendous resilience,
despite Israeli expectations of an easy invasion.</p>
<p>He added that the Israeli ground incursion into southern Lebanon
demonstrated that "Israel" "was defeated in every sense," incurring
nearly a thousand casualties and injuries.</p>
<p>Despite immense firepower, the Israeli occupation military failed to
achieve any significant ground penetration in southern Lebanon, Sayyed
al-Houthi highlighted.</p>
<p>He pointed out that "Israel" attempted to adapt its tactics since the
July 2006 aggression on Lebanon by deploying smaller forces and fewer
vehicles but failed.</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that "Israel" fears the fulfillment of the
promise made by martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that the world would
witness the destruction of its vehicles live, which is happening.</p>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader reiterated that "Israel" is defeated and
thwarted as a result of divine support for Hezbollah’s fighters in their
resilience and steadfastness, adding that the occupation has failed
with all its systems to prevent the drone strikes launched by the
Lebanese Resistance group.</p>
<p>He also congratulated Sheikh Naim Qassem on his <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/hezbollah-announces-sheikh-naim-qassem-as-secretary-general">election as Hezbollah's news Secretary-General</a>.</p>
<h2>Yemeni operations ongoing, 202 vessels targeted</h2>
<p>Regarding the Yemeni support front for Gaza, Sayyed al-Houthi
highlighted that among the unique naval operations carried out by the
Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) this week was the targeting of four ships east
of Socotra in the easternmost part of the Arabian Sea.</p>
<p>He emphasized the continuation of Yemen’s maritime operations "to
hunt vessels linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies."</p>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader revealed that the YAF is working to strengthen
the targeting routes for ships linked to the enemy and to track the new
paths to which their ships flee in the ocean.</p>
<p>He explained that "Israel" and its associates are attempting to
escape with their ships toward the Indian Ocean due to its vast expanse.</p>
<p>According to the Yemeni leader, the total number of targeted ships
linked to the Israeli, American, and British enemies has reached 202. He
further confirmed that this week, the YAF carried out operations using
13 <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yaf-target-three-vessels-with-drones--cruise--ballistic-miss">ballistic and cruise missiles</a> and drones.</p>
<p>Touching on the ongoing <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us--uk-renew-aggression-on-yemen-s-hodeidah">US aggression on Yemen</a>,
Sayyed al-Houthi noted that US forces conduct weekly airstrikes and
continue to exert political and economic pressure on the country.</p>
<p>However, the leader made it clear that "no one will be able to stop
our operations until the aggression halts, the siege on Gaza is lifted,
and the aggression on Lebanon ends."</p>
<p>The fronts in Gaza and Lebanon are united as two fronts for a single
cause, he pointed out, reiterating that "Israel" must end its
aggression.</p>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader pointed to the mobilization within the
movement, revealing that 519,029 Yemenis have completed military
training and "we hope to reach a million," highlighting that the various
mobilization activities, including <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yaf-drill-simulates-repelling-four-large-scale-naval--ground">exercises, military parades</a>, and other events, have reached a total of 2,913.</p>
<p>He also criticized some Arab countries, stating, "In confronting the
criminal actions and the Zionist project targeting our Ummah, it is
deeply shameful and a serious shortcoming for any Arab country to remain
silent."</p>
<p>"Any support for the Zionists, even if only on a media level, is a show of allegiance to them," he underlined.</p>
<h2>Allegiance to 'Israel' makes one complicit in crimes </h2>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that "allegiance to the Zionists makes one
complicit in their horrific, unparalleled crimes," affirming that
shirking responsibility in confronting Zionism is "a moral, religious,
and ethical failure incompatible with Islam."</p>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader emphasized that the Ummah stands at a
crossroads, facing two stark choices: "Either to submit in humiliation
and endure the immense consequences of that decision or to take a stand
in alignment with what is just and righteous."</p>
<p>He expressed his view that the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-s-al-mashat-addresses-guterres--condemns-un-silence-on">Security Council</a> is "a council of security for the oppressors, not for the weak and oppressed."</p>
<p>Finally, Sayyed al-Houthi called on the Yemeni people to participate
in the nationwide million-man demonstrations on Friday in solidarity
with Palestine and Lebanon. </p>
