</li></div></ul>
<p>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 <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/attacks-near-gaza-aid-sites-are-war-crimes--united-nations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">isolated war crimes</a> but part of a deliberate campaign to eradicate the Palestinian people under the auspices of the United States.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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\u2019s attempt to <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us--israel--plan-to-displace-gaza-residents-under-humanitari" target="_blank" rel="noopener">depopulate the besieged territory</a>.
He also highlighted the Israeli regime\u2019s use of contractors to finish
demolishing buildings, supported by a steady flow of bulldozers from the
US. </p>
<h2>Al-Quds, al-Khalil facing accelerated Judaization </h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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\u2019s recent move to <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--seizes-more-land-in-al-khalil-for-settler-road" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strip the local municipality of authority</a> over the Ibrahimi Mosque, calling it another step in a long-term scheme of erasure and domination. </p>
<p>\u201cThe enemy no longer hides its real intentions,\u201d al-Houthi said. \u201cIt
has become openly hostile to any notion of a Palestinian state, whether
in the West Bank or elsewhere.\u201d </p>
<h2>United States architect of genocide</h2>
<p>The Ansar Allah leader placed direct blame on Washington for <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-strikes-rip-through-gaza--killing-17-in-aid-area-and" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the war on Gaza</a>, describing the aggression as \u201cAmerican before Israeli.\u201d</p>
<p>\u201cThis is a fully coordinated project,\u201d he said, \u201cwith the Zionist
role being merely operational. The planning, intelligence, weapons, and
political cover all come from the United States.\u201d</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi argued that this alignment reflects a broader American strategy to <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--deepens-incursion-in-syria-s-quneitra-region--exclu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">subjugate the region</a>,
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.</p>
<p>He also lamented the complicity of certain Arab regimes that continue
to fund the aggression through US arms deals. \u201cIt is deeply
regrettable,\u201d he said, \u201cthat Arab money is still financing the Israeli
war effort via American intermediaries.\u201d</p>
<h2>Armed resistance in Gaza prevents Israeli expansion</h2>
<p>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 <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/who-is-mohammad-deif--the-resistance-leader--bane-of--israel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohammad Deif</a>, the martyred commander of al-Qassam Brigades, calling him a symbol of faith-driven resistance and tactical excellence.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Sayyed al-Houthi asserted that the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/al-qassam--al-quds-brigades-target-israeli-forces-in-gaza-op" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestinian resistance</a>
was crucial in preventing the conflict from expanding into a wider
regional war, crediting it with halting the Israeli regime\u2019s ambitions
to escalate militarily across borders.</p>
<p>He also noted the Israeli occupation's ongoing manpower crisis,
pointing to its struggles in recruiting ultra-Orthodox Jews (Haredim)
into military service.</p>
<h2>Warning against resistance defamation</h2>
<p>Finally, Sayyed al-Houthi warned of intensive media campaigns aimed
at demoralizing supporters of the Palestinian cause and portraying
resistance as futile or \u201csuicidal.\u201d</p>
<p>He insisted that the path of resistance is not only legitimate but
proven, and that surrender only deepens the region\u2019s subjugation.
\u201cFreedom will never come from the colonizer,\u201d he said. \u201cDignity is
restored only through defiance and steadfastness.\u201d</p>

November 2023, when Yemen imposed a naval blockade on ships heading to

<h2>Yemen devastates Israeli economy</h2>
<p>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<span> </span><em>The Marker</em>, all operations will come to a complete halt starting Sunday, signaling a<span> </span><a href="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" target="_blank" rel="noopener">total economic shutdown of the port</a>.</p>
<p>The crisis at Eilat Port began when<span> </span><a href="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" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yemeni forces imposed a naval blockade</a><span> </span>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.</p>
<p>Earlier, Israeli business newspaper<span> </span><em>The Marker</em><span> </span>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<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/netanyahu-deflects-blame-as-gaza-war-drags-with-no-clear-mil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">imposed in support of the Gaza Strip</a>.</p></div></div></div>
