Sayyed Abdul-Malik: Yemen has presented a distinguished model in supporting Gaza and confronting the US-Israeli coalition
SANAA, Nov. 07 (YPA) – The leader of Yemeni revolution Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi said Yemen’s support for the Palestinian people in Gaza has been distinguished by broad grassroots momentum and diverse activities across multiple fields, foremost among them military operations — making it one of the most prominent examples of Arab resistance solidarity in recent years.
Speaking on Friday to participants in the 34th Arab National Conference held in Beirut, with more than 250 Arab and Islamic figures in attendance, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi presented detailed figures on Yemen’s military and popular support for Gaza, noting that over the past two years, Yemen conducted 1,830 military operations in solidarity with Gaza, including ballistic and cruise missile strikes, drone operations, and naval attacks. A total of 228 enemy-linked vessels were targeted in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea, compelling the Zionist entity to shut down the port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) for nearly two years.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik also confirmed the downing of 22 US MQ-9 Reaper drones, noting that this success thwarted Washington’s plans to dismantle Yemen’s military capabilities.
He added that five US aircraft carriers and their accompanying fleets were forced to withdraw from regional waters after repeated confrontations — an acknowledgment by American officials of the “effectiveness of Yemeni tactics.”
Sayyed al-Houthi revealed that Yemen had been targeted by nearly 3,000 US-Zionist airstrikes, resulting in hundreds of martyrs and wounded, including senior government and military officials such as the Prime Minister, members of his cabinet, and the Chief of Staff.
Warning about the ‘Greater Israel’ project”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik warned that the Zionist enemy with the support of the United States is seeking to reshape the Middle East and to establish a “Greater Israel.”
He stressed that the current period requires “broad Arab and Islamic responses to confront these plans targeting the entire Arab and Islamic community.”
Sayyed Abdul-Malik said the enemies seek to impose a “doctrine of violation and subjugation” by disarming peoples and depriving nations of their defensive capabilities — a policy he warned threatens the future of freedom, dignity, and national values across the Arab world.
The Gaza Massacre and Yemen’s Grassroots Mobilization
He described the massacres committed in Gaza as genocidal crimes that have crossed all moral and humanitarian boundaries, holding the Zionist enemy fully responsible for the atrocities against civilians, children, the sick, and the elderly.
He underscored that the steadfastness of Gaza and Lebanon demonstrates the power of resistance to impose real deterrence equations.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik further highlighted Yemen’s ongoing nationwide mobilization, noting the continuation of massive weekly demonstrations and over half a million public activities involving more than 1.1 million people in military training programs — an unprecedented level of civic and resistance engagement.
Emphasis on Arab Unity
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi emphasized that the steadfastness in Gaza, along with Yemen’s support fronts and the growing awareness across the Arab and Islamic Street, has been among the key factors prompting “Israel” to consider halting its aggression.
He called for continued unity, strength, and vigilance to safeguard the achievements of steadfastness, urging Arab leaders, intellectuals, and popular movements to maintain their efforts to confront schemes aimed at reversing the gains of resistance.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik also warned against media campaigns aimed at distorting Iran’s supportive role toward Arab causes, stressing that the confrontation is not an “Iranian–Zionist” conflict but rather a struggle between the resistance axis and colonial powers.
He emphasized that Iran’s backing serves Arab causes, particularly Palestine, and that current victories in Gaza and other fronts are exerting immense pressure on the Zionist enemy to halt its aggression.
