In His Condolences to the Martyrs’ Families, the Leader Reinforces Yemen’s Faith-based, Steadfast Stance on Gaza in Confronting the Zionist Entity

In an emotional address and a rousing speech, Mr. Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, Leader of the Revolution in Yemen, expressed his condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs who fell as a result of the Israeli aggression against Yemen, including the assassination of the Prime Minister of Change and Construction and several ministers serving in the government. The Leader’s speech was not merely an expression of sorrow over the human losses; it was a platform to convey strong messages about Yemen’s political and military stance toward the Israeli aggression, and to reinforce national unity in the face of major challenges.

The Crime of the Entity in Assassinating the Prime Minister and His Ministers

At the start of his speech, Mr. al-Houthi voiced deep sorrow over the martyrdom of the Prime Minister of Change and Construction and several ministers in the recent Israeli attack. He stressed that these martyrs are “Yemen’s martyrs — all of Yemen’s,” reflecting that the Israeli aggression against the Yemeni people makes no distinction between segments or sectors. This incident, he said, is added to the list of Israeli crimes in the region and confirms the brutality of the Israeli enemy that targets civilians, including women and children.

Mr. al-Houthi condemned in his speech this deliberate targeting of civil institutions and those engaged in the work of change and reconstruction inside Yemen, highlighting what he described as Israel’s attempt to destabilize the Yemeni state and achieve political objectives in the region. The Israeli targeting of civilian officials, he said, is as grave as the crimes Israel has committed against Palestinian and Arab peoples in various countries.

Yemen’s Firm Stance Against Israeli Aggression

One of the main themes of Mr. al-Houthi’s speech was the reaffirmation of Yemen’s unwavering stance against Israeli aggression. He emphasized that Yemen’s military path in confronting Israel will not stop and will continue, affirming that the Yemeni people will not back down from their firm position in supporting the Palestinian cause. He confirmed the continuation of military strikes on Israel using missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, in addition to intensifying the maritime blockade on Israeli ships.

Mr. al-Houthi added that this struggle is not only a military one but also political, security-related, economic, and media-based, noting that all arenas of resistance are open to Yemen in confronting the Israeli enemy. This statement reflects a strategic shift in how to confront the Israeli occupation on all fronts — not only through weapons but also through a media campaign aimed at exposing the occupier’s practices.

Yemen’s Principled Position on the Palestinian Cause

The war against Israel is not the concern of a faction or a party; it is a national and faith-based cause. Mr. al-Houthi said that the Yemeni people undertake their struggle against the Israeli enemy as one of the “sacredest battles” and “greatest stances,” underscoring the level of sacrifice Yemenis are willing to make for major Islamic causes. Yemen’s actions in this context, he said, are not random but part of a broader message against the Israeli occupation that seeks to liquidate the Palestinian cause and control sacred sites such as Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Mr. al-Houthi praised the greatness of the Yemeni people, who regard resistance as a religious and moral duty, and said that Yemenis express this stance through mass marches and demonstrations that reaffirm their ongoing commitment to the Palestinian cause. This steadfast position challenges international policies that ignore the suffering of the Palestinian people in pursuit of other regional interests.

Jihad in the Path of God and the Inevitability of Sacrifice

A central element of Mr. al-Houthi’s address was his assertion that “jihad in the path of God” is a noble, ongoing goal and that through this jihad sacrifices become meaningful and fruitful. He stated that the Yemeni people will continue to make sacrifices and will neither retreat nor weaken in the face of schemes that aim to subjugate the Ummah.

In a speech full of resolve and determination, Mr. al-Houthi described the sacrifices of the Yemeni people not as “losses” but as “the greatest gains,” because everything given in the path of God is a true gain in this world and the hereafter. This position reflects a deep strategic view of resistance in Yemen, where sacrifice becomes part of a broader struggle against Zionist and imperialist colonialism in the region.

Emphasis on Islamic Identity and the Sacred Places

Another important theme addressed by Mr. al-Houthi was the necessity of preserving Islamic identity in the face of continuous Israeli attempts to erase it. He stressed that the Israeli enemy see
