Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen, announced that his movement is preparing to enter a new phase of conflict with the United States and “Israel,” describing this round as “inevitable,” whether directly or through what he called “tools.”
In a speech he delivered on Thursday, Al-Houthi affirmed that confrontation with Israel is “inevitable,” considering the United States a key partner in this conflict. He accused Washington of pursuing policies based on bullying and arrogance, in addition to creating crises and exploiting them to control the peoples of the region.
He stressed that Ansar Allah is currently moving under the slogan “preparing for the next round,” in reference to an imminent escalation. He explained that the events that have occurred over the past two years, especially since the aggression against Gaza, have proven the correctness of the Yemeni people’s position and their support for the Palestinian cause.
Al-Houthi revealed accurate monitoring and follow-up of what he described as the “Israeli movement” in the land of Somalia, warning that any Israeli military presence in the region would be considered a “legitimate target” for targeting.
He affirmed that the Ansar Allah movement is determined to target any permanent Israeli presence in the land of Somalia, considering this a direct threat to Yemen and the peoples of the region that cannot be ignored, in light of Israel’s endeavors, as he said, to control the vital waterways in the Gulf of Aden and “Bab al-Mandab.”
Al-Houthi accused Israel of seeking to expand in the Horn of Africa region, referring to the visit of Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to the land of Somalia “in a hidden manner via Ethiopia,” considering that this visit reflects “fear of the Yemeni position,” stressing Ansar Allah’s continued support for the Somali people.
In a related context, Al-Houthi accused the United States of being behind what he described as “criminal gangs” in Iran, holding Washington and Tel Aviv responsible for the acts of violence and attacks that targeted civilians, security men, and places of worship.
He explained that the American method depends on “sending criminal gangs to be the spearhead in manufacturing crises,” considering that the ultimate goal is to control the targeted countries and plunder their wealth, citing what he described as American policies in Venezuela and Iran.
