Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement, warned on Thursday against what he described as Israeli efforts to establish a presence in Somaliland, saying the group would respond to any such move.

Speaking in a televised address, al-Houthi said Israel was seeking to expand its influence in the Gulf of Aden and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in an effort to strengthen its control over strategic shipping routes in the Red Sea.

He warned that Ansar Allah would not remain passive in the face of any Israeli presence in the region and affirmed the group’s readiness to confront it.

Al-Houthi also called on countries bordering the Red Sea to adopt a unified position to safeguard regional security, sovereignty and strategic waterways.

Turning to regional developments, the Houthi leader congratulated Iran on what he described as its “victory” over Israel and the United States, saying the outcome served the interests of the so-called “axis of resistance.”

He reaffirmed the group’s support for the Palestinian cause and said coordination with members of the “axis of resistance” was continuing in response to what he described as Israeli escalation, particularly in the Gaza Strip.

Addressing the situation in Yemen, al-Houthi reiterated his group’s opposition to the continuing blockade and foreign intervention in the country.

He said Ansar Allah remained committed to what he described as the Yemeni people’s right to sovereignty and the recovery of national resources.

Concluding his address, al-Houthi urged his supporters to maintain unity, remain mobilised and prepare for what he described as the challenges facing Yemen and the wider region.

The leader of Yemen’s Houthi group said Thursday that his movement “is not neutral” in the ongoing war between Iran, the US and Israel, warning that his group will intervene militarily if regional developments dictate it, Anadolu reports.

“We are not neutral, but our position stems from belonging to Islam and the Islamic nation,” Abdul-Malik al-Houthi said in a televised speech cited by the group’s Al-Masirah television.

“Any field developments will be met with military stance if needed, as in previous rounds.”

He said the US-Israeli strikes on Iran have harmed the economic interests of the world’s countries and regional security and stability, calling the assault “unjustified.”

“Developments in the region over the past years show that the US and Israel are working to implement a Zionist plot that targets all countries of the region with a view to changing the Middle East and creating the Greater Israel,” he said.

Backed by Iran, the Houthis control most of Yemeni provinces, including the capital Sanaa, since 2014.

The group carried out missile and drone attacks against Israel and ships passing in the Red Sea in retaliation for Israel’s deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 72,000 people since October 2023.

The US and Israel have maintained airstrikes on Iran since Feb. 28, killing so far over 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said on Tuesday that another round of confrontation with Israel is “inevitable,” pledging continued preparations for “the next stage of resistance”.

Speaking during a televised address marking Martyrs’ Day, al-Houthi declared, “We recognize the importance of continuing to build upon our preparations for the next round of confrontation with the enemy and those who collaborate with it.”

He added, “We are inevitably heading towards another round of confrontation with the Israeli enemy,” asserting that the Middle East “cannot witness stability, security, or peace as long as the Israeli enemy continues occupying Palestine and pursuing its Zionist agenda.”

Al-Houthi also accused Israel of violating the ceasefire in Gaza, maintaining the blockade, and closing the Rafah crossing, which he said prevents the delivery of humanitarian aid.

He further added that Israeli forces have committed abuses against Palestinian prisoners, including torture and organ theft, and warned that “our enemy is dangerous and extremely criminal, and his ideological background is very dangerous.”

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.
