Sana’a - SABA :
The Leader of the Revolution, Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, reaffirmed Yemen’s unwavering, principled, humanitarian, ethical, and religious stance in supporting the Palestinian people and their resistance on all levels—militarily, politically, and in the media.
In his speech this afternoon on the anniversary of the humiliating escape of U.S. Marines from the capital, Sana'a, Sayyed Abdul-Malik stated:
"We are ready for military intervention in any escalation against Gaza at any time."
He further emphasized Yemen’s steadfast position in rejecting U.S. control over the Yemeni people, vowing to always safeguard the great achievement of national freedom and independence, which he described as essential to human dignity, faith-based pride, and sovereignty.
He asserted:
"Our freedom and independence were achieved by the grace of God, through the awareness, movement, and revolution of the Yemeni people. This freedom and independence will, God willing, extend across all of Yemen."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik highlighted that Yemen's stance against U.S. hegemony represents the will of the Yemeni people and aligns completely with their faith-based identity, stating:
"Our freedom is rooted in faith, and our pride is grounded in belief. We bow only to God. We rely on Him, trust in Him, and place our faith in Him."
He described Yemen’s position as firm and unwavering, regardless of challenges, because it is based on fundamental principles that cannot be compromised. He warned of the real dangers posed by U.S. control, stating that it leads to losses in both religion and worldly affairs, as well as the destruction of any nation under its influence.
Referring to the historical event of the U.S. Marines’ escape, he stated:
"The great lesson from this anniversary, as we saw the Marines destroying their weapons with their own hands, is that nations achieve victory when they move with sincere will and trust in God. The Marines fled our country in disgrace, only to conspire from afar, using fools as proxies to fight on their behalf while also paying them."
He compared this to the Palestinian resistance, emphasizing that faith, conviction, and steadfastness were the keys to the Palestinians' success against overwhelming odds:
"We have seen the results of resilience and reliance on God in the stance of the Palestinian people in Gaza, despite the extremely difficult conditions. Their primary capital was faith in God, belief in their cause, and adherence to their legitimate rights, which ultimately worked in their favor."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik also addressed those who believe the U.S. is all-powerful, saying:
"To those who think that if America wills something, it must happen, I say: at the very least, try to stop getting entangled with them. Leave America alone and see how it fares. It has already been humiliated and fled Yemen during the September 21 Revolution."
He noted that despite the U.S. supporting Israel and waging war on Yemen, the Yemeni people remained steadfast, with massive weekly protests continuing for 15 months. He also pointed out that American aircraft carriers were targeted and forced to flee.
Despite the full-scale U.S. aggression, Yemen endured and resisted, reaffirming its faith that the eventual downfall of Israel is a divine promise.
"We must remain assured in our choices and positions, as the righteous will ultimately prevail, and God's promise of the downfall of the criminal Zionist entity will come to pass."
He reaffirmed Yemen’s readiness to escalate militarily against Israel if it resumes attacks on Gaza:
"Our hands remain on the trigger, and we are prepared to escalate immediately against the Israeli enemy if it renews its aggression on Gaza. If the Zionist entity resumes its attacks, it will find itself back in the conditions and atmosphere of war, facing security and military threats, as well as economic consequences—no matter how much U.S. support it receives."
Expressing gratitude to God for the victory represented by the U.S. Marines' humiliating escape from Sana'a, Sayyed Abdul-Malik described it as a divine blessing and a major achievement for the Yemeni people.
He congratulated the Yemeni people on this anniversary, affirming that the Marines' escape symbolized the failure of the American project to fully dominate Yemen and its people.
He regarded the expulsion of U.S. forces as one of the key outcomes of the September 21 Revolution, marking Yemen’s liberation from American influence and ensuring the preservation of its dignity.
"No nation can be free while under American control," he stated.
"Freedom from U.S. hegemony has safeguarded Yemen’s independence and its faith-based identity. A Muslim people cannot possess faith-based dignity while under American control, subjected to their interference in every aspect of life and their efforts to erase their identity."
He emphasized that the Yemeni people would never accept the presence of a handful of American operatives in their capital, highlighting that Yemenis are among the most protective of their religious, moral, and humanitarian values.
He further criticized U.S. social policies, stating:
"The Americans promote homosexuality and moral corruption, making it a priority in any country they control."
He affirmed that Yemen’s greatest blessing is its liberation from American dominance.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik concluded by emphasizing that the departure of the U.S. Marines from Sana'a signified the collapse of Washington’s project to control Yemen, as their presence had made them the ultimate authority over the country’s leaders.
He revealed that the U.S. plan was to push Yemen toward total collapse, exploiting political crises, weakening the military, and increasing their military footprint through bases across strategic locations.
"Had U.S. forces remained in Sana’a, they would have expanded their bases throughout Yemen. Economically, despite Yemen’s resources, they would have driven the country into complete economic ruin—even without a war or blockade."
He also accused the U.S. of systematically undermining Yemen’s education, healthcare, and judicial systems, infiltrating state institutions, and attempting to manipulate religious discourse to consolidate its influence.
He described American control as a grave threat to any nation and denounced those who seek to appease Washington as naive and misguided.
"Those who see America as a force for good are delusional. The U.S. only seeks control and exploitation, using any means necessary to achieve its objectives."
He warned that America’s ambition is to dominate nations and extract the lion’s share of their wealth, referencing former U.S. President Donald Trump’s statements about exploiting foreign countries as an example of American greed.
"Trump openly stated what previous American leaders concealed: their view of this region as a cash cow and their intent to plunder it."
He stressed that U.S. policies are driven purely by self-interest, showing no respect for the nations they exploit.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik concluded by asserting that the American and Israeli agendas are intertwined in a larger destructive project targeting the region. He warned that this project seeks not only to dominate territory but also to erase cultural and religious identities.
He called on the Muslim world to reject American influence, recognizing that its strategies are designed to weaken and fragment the region.
"The struggle is clear: the American-Zionist project is an aggressive, expansionist scheme that threatens the entire Muslim world. The sooner nations recognize this reality, the better they can resist it."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi criticized the overall stance of the Arab and Islamic world during the Al-Aqsa Flood battle, stating that most countries either colluded or showed cowardice. Meanwhile, the United States went all-in, even directly participating alongside Israel in targeting the Palestinian people in Gaza, while the Arab region remained passive, watching without taking any serious action.
He pointed out that the Saudi regime, despite hosting multiple summits to issue statements, failed to take even a minimal step such as banning Israeli flights from its airspace and airports—something it had the power to do.
"While the aggression on Gaza intensifies, the Zionists are broadcasting videos of celebrations and dancing in Riyadh and other parts of Saudi Arabia," he said.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik further stated that the Saudi government could have at least removed its classification of Hamas and Palestinian resistance fighters as “terrorists” and released Hamas prisoners from its jails, as their only “crime” was standing against the Israeli enemy.
Expressing regret, he said Saudi Arabia did not even take the smallest steps in supporting the Palestinian people and their cause, emphasizing that Arab governments lack the will to take any meaningful action. He criticized the Arab regimes for failing to unite, even when it came to delivering food to starving Palestinians in Gaza.
He condemned normalization with Israel, stating that the regimes that pursued such ties did not reconsider their stance, proving their complicity. He attributed the Arab governments' position on Palestine to their submission and loyalty to U.S. policies.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik praised the Axis of Resistance—which includes nations and movements actively supporting Palestine—as the only bloc that provided practical backing to the Palestinian people.
He pointed out that while some forces provided direct support, others engaged in media attacks against the Resistance, attempting to justify their refusal to help by aligning with U.S. interests.
He stressed that Yemen’s official and popular stance in supporting Palestine would not have been as sincere and committed had the country remained under U.S. influence.
"Those who have aligned themselves with America in Yemen have taken no steps to support Gaza, despite the fact that the aggression controls parts of the Arabian Sea coast and Bab al-Mandab," he said.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik highlighted the near-universal condemnation of U.S. support for the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, calling Washington’s stance a “blatant and disgraceful act of aggression.” He pointed out that even globally, this position has been met with widespread rejection.
"The Americans have openly discussed displacing the people of Gaza and then occupying the territory. Trump even proposed 'buying' Gaza as if it were a piece of real estate," he said, condemning the U.S. for disregarding international laws, principles, and ethics.
He urged Arab nations to remain steadfast in their opposition to the forced expulsion of Palestinians and to resist any negotiations or compromises that could harm the Palestinian cause.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik warned against U.S. and Israeli manipulation tactics, stating that they often propose extreme demands only to later engage in "compromises" that still serve their strategic interests.
"The U.S. sometimes asks its allies for impossible favors; this should be an opportunity for these nations to finally say ‘No’ and break free from American control," he stated.
He called on the broader Muslim world—its governments, factions, and people—to unite in rejecting the U.S. push for Palestinian displacement. He argued that Washington’s stance should serve as a wake-up call, proving that other so-called “peaceful” solutions offered by Arab leaders are futile.
He also criticized the “two-state solution” as an inherently flawed approach that legitimizes Israeli occupation by allocating only a small portion of Palestine to its rightful inhabitants.
"The two-state solution will never succeed. Arab leaders must change their policies toward Palestinian resistance and actively support the fighters in every way—financially, politically, and through the media," he said.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik warned of the grave dangers facing the West Bank, where Israeli forces continue to commit crimes in places like Jenin and Tulkarm. He called for an urgent and forceful Arab-Islamic response to Israel’s simultaneous assaults on Gaza and the West Bank.
He also urged a strong reaction to recent remarks made by the U.S. ambassador to Israel, who claimed that “biblical prophecies” were being fulfilled under the Trump administration—statements he interpreted as advancing the Zionist agenda of complete control over the West Bank.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi strongly criticized the Palestinian Authority (PA), accusing its security apparatus of directly cooperating with Israel even amid the current crisis. He pointed out that the PA continues to assist Israel in arrests, kidnappings, and killings in Jenin, Tulkarm, and other areas.
"Is there any political horizon that the Palestinian Authority hopes to achieve through direct collaboration with the Israeli enemy—especially given the U.S.’s blatant stance against all Palestinian rights?" he questioned.
Expressing hope for a shift in the PA’s approach, he stressed that this is a time for unity among all Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims, regardless of past political differences. He called for a united front against U.S. arrogance and aggression, which have been widely condemned worldwide.
"Other global powers will never take decisive action against Israel and America; that responsibility lies with Muslims. If we are waiting for China, Europe, or Russia to fight Israel and America on behalf of the Palestinians, we are chasing illusions and mirages."
He noted that while some non-Arab countries have taken strong stances against the U.S. position, the real battle belongs to Muslims and Arabs, who must unite in a firm and decisive response to Washington’s policies.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik mocked the idea that the U.S. is infallible, questioning whether former President Donald Trump really believes he can "buy Gaza as if it were real estate."
"Trump, do you really think the honorable and resilient people of Gaza—who have endured 15 months of genocide and unprecedented aggression—will sell you their homeland?" he asked.
"You foolish, ignorant, reckless man! Do you imagine that after all their sacrifices, the people of Gaza will negotiate with you? Who do you think you are buying Gaza from? You treat everything like a business transaction, assuming everyone has a price!"
He asserted that the current circumstances provide a golden opportunity for Arab and Muslim unity—especially now that the U.S. has reached the level of demanding the impossible, such as the forced displacement of Palestinians.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik warned Israel that it will not achieve its goals through U.S. backing alone:
"Israel must understand that no matter how much it relies on America, it will never achieve its objectives if it escalates further. The enemy is stalling on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, but if it resumes aggression, it will be met with steadfast Palestinian resistance and support from the free people of the region."
He also reflected on the anniversary of Yemen’s February 11, 2011 revolution, acknowledging it as a genuine popular uprising that was later hijacked by foreign powers, primarily the United States, which sought to manipulate the will of the Yemeni people.
"The February 11 revolution was infiltrated by external agents who tried to steer it away from the people's real demands. However, the September 21 Revolution corrected its course, restoring Yemen’s sovereignty and independence."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik extended his congratulations to Iran on the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, calling it a great victory for both the Iranian people and the Palestinian cause.
"Under the Shah, Iran was a blatant U.S.-Israeli puppet. But with the success of the Islamic Revolution, Iran became the greatest supporter of Palestine in the entire Muslim world."
He emphasized that Iran’s revolution was a gain for the Arab world, since Israel remains the greatest threat to Arab nations:
"Iran’s unwavering support for Palestine has never changed, and it has always sought friendly relations with Arab countries. Yet America wants to push the narrative that Israel is a friend and Iran is an enemy—this is a blatant deception targeting Arabs."
He pointed out how Israel spent years demonizing Iran, and now certain Arab leaders have adopted the same rhetoric, calling this a "monumental act of foolishness and treachery."
"Israel is the enemy of the entire Arab and Muslim world. Its primary goal is to occupy Arab lands, and it poses an existential threat to Arabs before anyone else."
He warned that some Arab regimes are being used as proxies for America and Israel:
"At this stage, with America's madness under Trump, Muslims must come together in unity. Any Arab leader who thinks aligning with the U.S. will bring him victory is delusional. America wants certain Arab regimes to fight its wars, sacrifice their soldiers, and spend their money in service of U.S. and Israeli interests."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik praised Hezbollah’s historic victories in Lebanon, recalling that Israel once occupied Beirut but was ultimately humiliated and expelled.
"The 2000 liberation of Lebanon was a historic, divine victory because the resistance and its people had faith and determination. Israel was utterly defeated."
He recalled how in 2006, Israel sought to crush Hezbollah completely, but instead suffered a humiliating defeat.
"Israel’s goal in 2006 was to destroy Hezbollah and bring Lebanon under American and Zionist control. Instead, it faced an unprecedented failure. This should be a lesson to all nations—confidence in God and the right path will lead to freedom and dignity."
Sayyed Abdul-Malik reaffirmed Yemen’s unwavering support for Lebanon and Hezbollah, stating that Yemen will stand by Lebanon in any future escalation.
"We stand firmly alongside our brothers in Hezbollah and the Lebanese people. We are ready to assist in any way—militarily and otherwise—if Lebanon faces full-scale aggression."
