SANA’A (Dispatches) -- The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, on Thursday strongly condemned Israeli military aggression in Gaza and criticized Arab and Muslim countries for their silence and inaction regarding the situation in the Palestinian territories.
Speaking in a televised address from the Yemeni capital, Houthi described the Israeli regime as “an enemy of all races” and warned that its actions pose “a danger to every nation.”
“The fallout of silence and inaction regarding the Palestinian issue is very unfortunate, especially as Muslims are not a small community,” he said.
“Nearly two billion Muslims around the world, including millions of Arabs, have abandoned Palestine, with the exception of a few nations who have clearly and openly declared their position.”
He questioned the failure of Arab countries to respond to what he described as long-standing oppression in Gaza.
“If the Arabs do not stand by Palestinians in the face of this flagrant and long-standing oppression, which is the result of their own inaction, what oppression can unite them then?” he asked.
Houthi criticized regional and international organizations for a lack of effective measures to stop the genocide.
“It is an eternal stain of shame on the foreheads of all international institutions and organizations, the global community, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation that they do not take concrete action,” he said.
“Where is the Arab League and what action is it taking regarding the ongoing hunger, genocide, and forced displacement of Palestinian people?”
He warned that “hostile actions against those who support the Palestinian issue are the worst form of moral decline and trampling on innate values in the new era, which will have dire consequences”.
“Ever since the occupation of Palestinian territory started, the Arab response to the process has been very weak and not up to the level of their responsibility.”
Houthi also rejected normalization of ties with Israel, calling it an abandonment of religious and ethical responsibility.
“Normalization is not a normal relationship with the criminal occupier, but rather cooperation with the enemy to destroy the religion and livelihood of the Muslim Ummah,” he said.
“The Zionist enemy does not have the slightest tinge of respect for the Muslim world. It knows that it can commit crimes at any level, and Muslims and Arabs won’t take effective and comprehensive action to confront it.”
The Ansarullah leader said that hunger in Gaza had reached dangerous and painful levels, adding the Israeli military is deliberately relocating civilians from water-rich areas to water-scarce ones.
He said the ongoing mass starvation of more than two million people in Gaza is a consequence of a weak and ineffective response by Arab and Muslim states.
Houthi also criticized the continuation of commercial ties with Israel.
“The movement of ships carrying food and goods belonging to Arab and Muslim regimes toward the Israeli-occupied lands has not stopped over the past 22 months of aggression and massacre in the Gaza Strip,” he said.
“Arab and Muslim regimes have increased the level of trade exchanges with the Zionist enemy during this period. These regimes declare solidarity with the Palestinian people through the media, but their trade relations with the Zionist regime are greater than any other party in the world.”
Some governments in the region, he said, had even worked to create alternative maritime routes to support Israeli commerce during the genocide.
Houthi said the United States is supporting Israel’s military campaign and warned against attempts to disarm Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement.
“Attempts to disarm Hezbollah serve the enemies and reflect a misguided, foolish, and malicious logic,” he said.
“The Israeli enemy is supplied with all types of destructive and lethal weapons, while our oppressed people are told they should not possess any arms.”
Houthi reiterated that Yemen would maintain its position in support of the Palestinian cause and called on citizens to join nationwide demonstrations on Friday.
“The Israeli enemy and its major ally, the U.S., have failed to stop Yemen’s supportive stance for Gaza and its backing of the Palestinian people,” he said.
