Abdul Malik al-Houthi made a speech broadcast late on Saturday, airing from Yemen’s capital Sanaa on the first night of the Muslim Holy Moon in Ramadan.
“We reaffirm the company’s stance as well as the strong religious, humanitarian and moral commitments of the Palestinians and fighter jets of various resistance groups, particularly Hamas’ military division, the armed forces of the Kassam Brigade.
The Ansarlah chief noted that Yemen is closely monitoring Israel’s attempts to avoid obligations under Gaza’s ceasefire contract and avoid the requirements for the second phase of a fragile ceasefire in the release of prisoners.
Houthi emphasized that the very existence of Zionist enemies would be at risk and that Tel Aviv would become a major target in case Israel resumes its war with Gaza.
He said that when the Tel Aviv regime resumes a bloody onslaught against slivers along the besieged coast, Yemeni forces will intervene in various military fronts to support Gaza.
The statement came after Israeli broadcasters reported that they were preparing to resume war in the Gaza Strip if Israeli forces fail to reach an agreement to extend the ceasefire.
“To achieve calm in Gaza, there is a need for a positive agreement. Otherwise, the two options are prisoners or the release of war,” quoted a senior Israeli security source.
The broadcaster also cited sources close to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He said he was not interested in moving on to the second phase of the prisoner’s exchange deal.
Supported by the US and its western allies, Israel launched a war with Gaza after Hamas and other Gaza-based Palestinian resistance campaigns conducted an al-Axa flood operation against the Israeli regime in response to a decades-long campaign of oppression against the Palestinians.
Israel’s war on Gaza has resulted in the murder of at least 48,38888 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and 111,803 injuries since early October 2023.
A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement came into effect in Gaza on January 19th, halting Israel’s aggressive campaign against coastal regions.
