The leader of the Ansar Allah group (the Houthis), Abdul -Malik al -Houthi, announced today, Wednesday, that the decision to ban the navigation of Israeli ships across the Red Sea, Bab al -Mandab, the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea is part of implementation. Al -Houthi said in a televised speech, that his group went to the decision to ban Israeli navigation from the fact that it is necessary to have practical steps towards Israeli intransigence and brutality.
He added that “the prohibition of Zionist navigation is not the ceiling of our position, but rather the first step in our position,” stressing: “We will go to other escalatory steps and with a high ceiling if the Israeli enemy continues to starve the Palestinian people and it is not allowed to enter aid, and all practical options are on the table regarding the continued starvation of the Palestinian people.”
Al -Houthi stressed that any Israeli ship that crosses the declared area of operations will be targeted and this is a practical step and a necessary situation, noting that “the enemy from preventing aid to enter the Gaza Strip and closing the crossings aims to starve the Palestinian people in the Strip,” noting that the starvation of a Palestinian two million in the Gaza Strip is a major crime that describes all the descriptions of major crimes, is a war crime, a crime against humanity.
Al -Houthi considered that silence and stagnation in the Arab position towards this escalating step and the imposition of forced displacement, “is a great sin and a major responsibility, and that the ceiling of the position of Arab regimes, no matter how aggressive, escalating, and criminal steps are, is clear to the Israeli enemy and the American,” noting that “the ceiling of the Arab position, and behind him the Islamic position most of it is to issue data even in Its formulation takes into account that it is not intense, and this position of the nation of the billion Muslim is not the correct position of a nation that has all these capabilities and capabilities. “
Al -Houthi explained that “there are two fans of the Israeli enemy, the American support and the American partnership,” adding that “the staff of the administration of US President Donald Trump are more Zionist, rude and boldly in the clarity of their strong assault of the Palestinian people and Muslims in general, and that the Trump administration elements are keen to be distinguished by more aggressive steps than the administration of Biden before them,” He added that “the enemy considers that the conditions are prepared in the context of Arab negligence and open American support and encouraged to take such aggressive steps.”
Al -Houthi stressed that the Arab regimes realize that accepting the displacement of the Palestinian people is a hostile step that goes beyond the support of the Israeli economically and politically and at the level of encouragement and incitement, as well as that the acceptance of the Arab regimes in displacement will turn them into direct aggressor systems on the Palestinian people, and not only failing or complicit, he said.
