Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation Andrei Belousov held a meeting with the heads of defence departments of the Confederation of Sahel States member countries (Burkina Faso, the Republic of Mali, the Republic of the Niger).
‘Today, we are holding the first consultations between the heads of the defence departments of the Russian Federation and the member countries of the Confederation of Sahel States,’ said Andrei Belousov.
The Russian Defence Minister noted that in July it was one year since the establishment of the Confederation of Sahel States.
‘The decision to establish the alliance is the result of the free choice of the Sahelian peoples and the course towards sustainable peaceful development. However, today terrorist threats and intensive actions of illegal armed groups persist in the Confederation countries,’ he stressed.
The Russian Defence Minister noted that the Russian military department is ready to provide comprehensive assistance to ensure stability in the region. ‘We support your position on the need to strengthen security, protect territories and sovereignty’.
Andrei Belousov underlined that the quadrilateral dialogue would be an important format for discussing issues on strengthening the cooperation in the defence sphere.
In turn, the Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs of the Republic of Mali General Sadio Camara noted that the initiative to organise the first meeting at the level of defence ministers is a common desire to strengthen strategic partnership between countries. The General underlined this idea during his welcome speech on behalf of the heads of defence departments of the Confederation of Sahel States member countries.
‘At present, cooperation in the defence field is the largest area of cooperation between our countries,’ General Sadio Camara stressed.
Following the results of the talks, the sides signed a joint statement on the results of the consultations, as well as a memorandum of understanding between the defence departments of the Russian Federation and the Confederation of Sahel States.
Leader of Ansar Allah, Abdul-Malik Badreddin al-Houthi, on the developments of the Israeli aggression on Gaza and the latest regional and international updates – 22 Muharram 1447 AH, July 17, 2025:
The Israeli enemy continues the genocide against the Palestinian people and seeks to accumulate its criminal record.
The Israeli enemy is using American bombs intensively, perhaps even more than firing bullets, and the Americans supply them in continuous shipments.
The aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza is almost an American aggression before it is Israeli, with the Israeli role being that of execution.
The Americans endorse everything the Israeli enemy does and support and share it because they both operate based on the belief in the Zionist agenda.
The view towards the Americans should be based on insight and awareness grounded in the Holy Quran and clear, established facts.
The prevailing attitude among Arab and Islamic regimes, as well as in most media outlets, is to present the Americans in a different light, as if there is still hope for them to change their position.
The Israelis and Americans have no regard for human life, which, in their view, is permissible for the sake of desire or interest.
The Israeli enemy targets Gaza’s inhabitants by depriving them of water and turns the issue of obtaining drinking water into an adventure.
The policy of pushing towards loyalty to the American side and relying on it leads to significant distortions in orientations, morals, and values at the expense of the principles of Islam.
Many of the people of our Islamic Ummah, more than other nations, behave as if they are deaf, dumb, and blind to what is happening in the Gaza Strip.

Full speech by Sayyid Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah movement, delivered on May 15, 2025, on the genocidal Israeli aggression against Gaza and the 77th anniversary of the Nakba.
Since October 7, 2023, every Thursday, the leader of AnsarAllah has delivered a speech dedicated to Gaza, calling on the Yemeni people to stage mass demonstrations the following day, after Friday prayers, in support of the Palestinian people. These weekly demonstrations in Yemen have never ceased, drawing millions of participants across the country.
Israeli Genocide in Gaza
Today, we speak about the ongoing developments in the savage, barbaric, and criminal Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip—an aggression carried out with U.S. support and partnership, and with open backing from the West. Genocidal crimes against the Palestinian people are being committed every single day. This week alone, the toll from the Israeli aggression on Gaza has exceeded 1,200 martyrs and wounded—most of them women and children—including displaced families that were completely annihilated by the Israeli enemy.
Since the resumption of this brutal, barbaric Israeli assault on Gaza, the number of martyrs has surpassed 2,800, with thousands more wounded. Over the past 19 months, the cumulative toll in Gaza has reached more than 182,000 martyrs, wounded, and missing persons. A large portion of them—estimated at 60% or more—are women and children. This figure does not even include the martyrs, wounded, abducted, and imprisoned in the West Bank; otherwise, the number would be even higher.
This staggering toll reveals the extent of the Israeli enemy’s horrific criminality, which constitutes, in the clearest terms, an act of genocide—carried out before the eyes and ears of the entire Islamic world.
The Israeli enemy targets every segment of society in Gaza. It persistently works to dismantle the healthcare system and eliminate humanitarian efforts. More than 1,400 humanitarian workers and medical personnel have been killed in the Gaza Strip. It targets displaced people in their designated shelters—areas that are supposedly safe. During this period, roughly 250 displacement shelters have been bombed over 19 months.
The enemy also persists in its pursuit of genocide through starvation, not just bombing. It exterminates with U.S. bombs and missiles supplied by Western governments—and at the same time, it employs hunger as a weapon of extermination. The humanitarian situation in Gaza has become catastrophic. Food supplies held by relief organizations have been depleted. All bakeries and most community kitchens—those that provided limited meals to a limited number of people—have shut down.
Heartbreaking scenes now depict children screaming and crying as they wander the streets searching for scraps of food, while their mothers stand powerless before the wails of their starving infants. Some children have become so emaciated that their skin clings to their bones from the lack of milk. Some Palestinians try to fish from the sea in a desperate search for food—but even then, they are targeted by the Israeli enemy. They are targeted by land, sea, and air. Many have been killed while trying to fish from the sea to feed their families. Even leaves are now hard to find after the Israeli enemy bulldozed 80% of agricultural land. A United Nations agency and a non-governmental organization confirmed in their report that the overwhelming majority of children in Gaza are suffering from extreme food deprivation.
The scale of the tragedy reveals the magnitude of Israeli aggression and criminality—supported, as we have said, by the United States and its partners, and by the open backing of Western powers such as Britain, Germany, and others. All of this takes place in the shadow of the Arab and Islamic world’s shameful failure to act.
In the West Bank and Al-Quds (Jerusalem), the Israeli enemy continues its multifaceted aggression. Chief among these crimes is the desecration of Islamic holy sites, through near-daily incursions into Al-Aqsa Mosque and its sanctity. These incursions occur almost every day. Other assaults in the West Bank and Al-Quds include storming UNRWA schools in Al-Quds, expelling students, and preparing to close them.
The enemy wages war on the Palestinian people by every means imaginable—trying to strip them of life’s most basic needs, including education. It has invaded an educational complex north of Hebron, assaulting and expelling students. Other violations in Al-Quds include storming a wedding in the town of Al-Eizariya, east of Al-Quds, and arresting the groom. This shows, once again, that Israeli aggression knows no bounds—it targets everything, even weddings.
On the matter of home demolitions, the Israeli enemy continues its campaign of destruction throughout the West Bank, especially in the refugee camps. In Nour Shams camp alone, more than 400 homes have been demolished. Usurping settler gangs continue their vile and shameful crimes, engaging in what can only be called thuggery—stealing, robbing, attacking livestock and crops, and harassing farmers. They have even assaulted Palestinian women, as happened in the village of Al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah. The Israeli enemy continues its crimes of murder and abduction across the West Bank. It uproots olive trees, even those bearing fruit. Among the latest moves revealing the Israeli enemy’s intent to solidify its grip over the West Bank is the decision by the so-called restricted cabinet to confiscate vast areas of land in the West Bank.
Alongside this, it is deeply regrettable that the Palestinian Authority, through its own security forces—which are supposed to protect the Palestinian people—acts in a way that parallels the Israeli enemy’s crimes. It spills the blood of Palestinians and kills their youth in coordination with the Israeli enemy, seeking its favor. This is precisely what happened this week: the Palestinian Authority cold-bloodedly killed a young man in Al-Fara’a camp and assaulted an elderly man in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin. Such acts by the Palestinian Authority are deeply tragic and shameful.
The Lessons of the Nakba
Today marks the anniversary of the Nakba—the catastrophe of 1948—a date of profound meaning and many lessons. It is a foundational and sorrowful anniversary, marking a catastrophe that has never ceased. Around 60,000 armed criminals from Zionist gangs, supported by British forces, launched their attack on defenseless Palestinians who had no weapons and no organization. They were left as prey to these savage gangs. The memory of the Nakba reminds us of a profound injustice—an injustice that was carefully planned long before it occurred, and that continues to this day, affecting an entire people.
The Palestinian people—millions of whom have been displaced from their land, besieged, terrorized, and abused for more than seven decades—continue to suffer before the very eyes of an international community and international institutions that claim to care about human beings and human rights. The Nakba is no ordinary memory. It is a wound that remains open, soaked in the blood and torn bodies of children and women for over 77 years—from the Deir Yassin massacre in 1948 to the massacres continuing today in Gaza. It is the commemoration of a historic crime whose chapters remain unfinished—committed by Britain and Western powers—leading to the usurpation of an entire nation and the displacement of millions from their homeland. It is a day that reminds us of the Jewish hatred and hostility toward Arabs and Muslims—clearly reflected in the daily criminal and aggressive practices of the Israeli enemy. It is a day that exposes as falsehood all the illusions of peace and coexistence between Arabs and Zionists—illusions that are nothing but a grand deception.
It is a day remembered by the mujahideen and the Palestinian people—people of legendary steadfastness, who, despite their suffering and tragedy, have never forgotten who they are and have never relinquished their rights. They remain committed to the entirety of Palestine—with its waters and its holy sites—rights that cannot be distorted, fragmented, or bargained away. They remember—and so should all Arabs and Muslims—Galilee, Tiberias, Nazareth, Beisan, Acre, and Safad. They remember Haifa, Jaffa, Hebron, Ramla, and Al-Quds. They remember Gaza and Beersheba. They remember Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarm, and every occupied Palestinian city and village. They haven’t forgotten their right to all of Palestine—its seas, rivers, plains, and mountains. All of it will return, God willing, as He has promised—and His promise never fails and never changes.
This anniversary also reminds us of the string of defeats suffered by the frightened Arab armies within days, overwhelmed by apathy, weakness, and a lack of will to fight—which paved the way for the Israeli enemy’s continued aggression throughout the region. Seventy-seven years of total Arab impotence at the official level in confronting the occupying entity—while the steadfast and resisting Palestinians continue to endure siege, starvation, and the absence of even the most basic forms of support and protection against this criminal enemy.
The lessons of the Nakba must be emphasized—even if only a few—for every event, no matter how bitter, harsh, or painful, carries valuable insights that can guide us in our efforts to change the course of history, by fulfilling our responsibilities as a Umma, relying on Almighty God, and trusting in His true promise.
Among those lessons is the fact that the Nakba of 1948 is still ongoing—because, as we have said, it is a continuous Nakba.
Foremost among these lessons—and the first of them—is that over the course of all these decades, the criminal, brutal, aggressive Zionist-Jewish approach has not changed. For 77 years, its criminal and aggressive practices have remained the same in every daily detail, whether during periods of escalation, when the enemy becomes even more savage and criminal, or at other times. The enemy has continued to behave in the same criminal way. It kills children and women, rapes the land, violates sanctities, and seizes land, farms, homes, and dwellings through aggression, injustice, and force. It wrongs the Palestinian people with every form of injustice and humiliation—through beatings, insults, arrests, and raids, even targeting weddings and other events.
Prisons and detention centers are constantly filled with abductees and prisoners, against whom the Israeli enemy commits all forms of violations and injustices. Every criminal practice has remained constant in the behavior of the Israeli enemy for 77 years, and it persists in the same path.
Moreover, the foundations for these actions, practices, and criminal conduct of the Israeli enemy lie in its Jewish beliefs, ideology, and culture—built on the classification of those they call “goyim” (i.e., non-Jews) as non-human, as fair game, as permissible to target, even under what they falsely and deceitfully call divine law. They deem blood, honor, property—everything—to be permissible. Their indoctrination is saturated with hatred, contempt, hostility, and deep-seated enmity. Thus, every generation grows up worse than the one before, steeped in hatred, animosity, disdain, and a readiness to violate every sacred boundary.
The Israeli enemy has not changed, and this stands as evidence that it is a criminal entity. There is no possibility of coexistence with it, nor of peace. It is incapable of such things—its culture, mentality, inclinations, beliefs, practices, goals, and the very foundations upon which these criminal Zionist-Jewish gangs were built all render it utterly incapable of relating to others in peace, with respect, or with recognition of rights. Moreover, the entire structure is founded on injustice, aggression, and criminality—this is evident. It is an entity incapable of coexistence, one fundamentally based on usurpation and crime.
How was this entity created? How were these criminal gangs brought into Palestine? Through occupation, murder, displacement, injustice, and the confiscation of rights. It is an unnatural entity, built upon injustice and criminality. It is unsustainable, for it does not exist in a normal framework like other human societies, but rather in a state of injustice, usurpation, aggression, and ongoing criminality.
Second, throughout this entire period, Western policy—in Britain, America, Germany, and the major Western and European powers—has not changed. It has remained consistent in its full support and sponsorship of these criminal gangs. It has always been exposed as never seriously committed to the slogans it often raises about peoples’ rights, self-determination, human rights, and so on. Where is the freedom so frequently echoed in the slogans of the West, of the Americans and Europeans? It is almost entirely absent when it comes to the clear and undeniable rights of the Palestinian people, or to the criminal, aggressive, oppressive practices the West supports against the peoples of our nation.
They do not respect their own slogans, which they use only as a tool to deceive peoples. Nor do they even respect their own core interests in the Islamic world—especially the Arab world. America has vital interests in Arab and Islamic countries, as does Europe. They derive enormous benefit. They plunder this Umma’s wealth. It is an open market for their products. Their interests there are of enormous economic value, and reality attests to this. Their injustice toward this Umma brings them major benefit, while bringing injustice, deprivation, and oppression upon its peoples.
Despite all this benefit, they show no regard for the peoples of this Umma whose wealth they exploit. All of this has earned them nothing—America, Britain, Germany—whereas their economic gain from the Israeli enemy is marginal. They are the ones who give to it; Israel gives them nothing in return. In contrast, their dealings with the Arab and Islamic world yield them raw materials, oil, and other resources worth trillions of dollars. They reap massive profits without showing an ounce of appreciation, or the slightest consideration for the peoples of this Umma —their rights, their suffering, or their dignity.
The Failure of the Arab-Muslim World
Third, one of the most critical lessons is that the official Arab side has, for the most part, failed to seriously confront its defeats—despite suffering catastrophic failure at every stage. The Nakba of 1948 was a massive Arab failure—a resounding defeat—followed by repeated and ongoing failures. The official Arab response has failed time and again. The real problem, however, is that it has never seriously addressed these failures, nor succeeded in forming an Arab, Islamic, humanitarian, and global approach that would follow a clear, practical course to support the Palestinian cause—to defend Palestinian rights, and to uphold this cause, which is Islamic, humanitarian, and moral in essence.
It is a global cause, with a global foundation rooted in its humanitarian dimension. It is also an Islamic cause, one that concerns all Muslims—because the Palestinian people are part of the Islamic Umma, Palestine is part of the Islamic world, and its sacred sites—chief among them the Al-Aqsa Mosque—are among the holiest in Islam.
The Arab position has had a negative impact on the international scene, and on other countries that no longer see themselves as having more at stake than the Arabs and Muslims themselves. It has also negatively affected the stance of many Islamic countries.
The official Arab side has gone in the opposite direction, adopting humiliating peace proposals and offering gratuitous concessions—concessions it continues to make even as the enemy remains aggressive and clearly unwilling to reciprocate.
The Arabs even addressed the criminal Sharon at the time using the same language—offering free concessions and speaking of “peace” in the sense of surrender. Just as they have in all past stages, they insist on sticking to these positions, while the Israeli enemy always responds with more aggression, more theft of rights, and greater insistence on its openly stated position: it refuses to give—even under these initiatives that offer everything—any part of Palestine to the Palestinian people.
Thus, the official Arab stance has continued its decline and deepened its concessions, to the point that some regimes have fully immersed themselves in what is known as “normalization.” This is a grave betrayal of the Umma—a complete reversal and total abandonment of the just cause for which the entire Umma bears responsibility.
Hence, recognizing the Israeli enemy means recognizing it for what it is: a criminal, aggressive, unjust, tyrannical, murderous, genocidal entity, built upon plunder, usurpation, domination, and the desecration of holy sites and this Umma’s values.
The Indomitable Palestinian People
One of the most important lessons throughout this entire period—throughout this ongoing catastrophe—is the steadfastness of the Palestinian people. Palestinian steadfastness has grown, despite all the conspiracies targeting them. The Israeli enemy has pursued many plans aimed at the Palestinian people—even at their will to resist and fight. It has waged both hard and soft wars—military aggression, misinformation, moral corruption—all aimed at breaking their spirit, making them despair, psychologically defeating them, and forcing them to accept Israeli control as an unchangeable reality.
It tried to extinguish their hope for liberation. Yet it failed. Despite enormous efforts and numerous, dangerous, and varied conspiracies, the Israeli enemy used every tool at its disposal, but it failed.
Instead of leading the Palestinian people to surrender and despair, to give up hope and lose faith in God’s true promise, what we have seen is the growth and deepening of Palestinian steadfastness. There has been an increase in awareness, insight, willpower, resilience, and unwavering commitment to a clear and rightful cause that belongs to the Palestinian people.
This is a critical development, one that alarms the Israeli enemy—and that is now beginning to influence Western societies. The Palestinian people have increased their perseverance and awareness, and their fighters have shown resolve. They present a powerful, inspiring, and effective model—one that has proven its strength and success.
The Palestinian people and their courageous fighters have engaged in multiple rounds of direct confrontation with the Israeli enemy in Gaza. The Israeli enemy has failed in five or more major confrontations in Gaza since 2008 and beyond. These defeats are clear evidence of the effectiveness of our mujahideen brothers in the Gaza Strip.
Their performance has been exceptional. Their resilience, remarkable. This model must serve as a vital lesson to the entire Umma. In fact, it is the most important factor in the Israeli enemy’s failure to fully implement its expansive Zionist plan—what they call “Greater Israel.” What, then, prevented the Israeli enemy from inflicting catastrophes like the Nakba of 1948 upon other nations and peoples neighboring Palestine? In Lebanon, it was the Resistance and the mujahideen—those of Hezbollah and the Lebanese Resistance—through their jihad, patience, and sacrifices, who expelled the Israeli enemy from Lebanon and inflicted major defeats upon it.
In other countries, the primary and most vital role belongs to the Palestinian mujahideen, who are confronting the Israeli enemy with courage and steadfastness in the Gaza Strip, as well as through their operations in the West Bank and their remarkable endurance in the Jenin camp and elsewhere. The mujahideen brothers in Palestine, along with the popular base that shares the same orientation—jihad for the sake of God, steadfastness, adherence to the truth, and resistance to the Israeli enemy—have not had their will broken by the Israeli enemy, nor have they succumbed to weakness, frailty, or complacency, despite the magnitude of the sacrifices.
These sacrifices matter. They bear fruit—very significant fruit—in the true promise of God, a promise that neither fails nor changes. The great lesson of this Palestinian steadfastness is that it presents a successful model, one that has proven its effectiveness. There is absolutely no excuse—none whatsoever—for any regime or people to abandon this model, to fail to support it, or to withhold assistance in any possible form. The betrayal, the indifference, and even the negative posture adopted by some regimes toward our mujahideen brothers in Palestine is a crime in every sense of the word—and it is utterly unjustifiable.
Falsifications Surrounding the Palestinian Cause
One of the key lessons of the Nakba—from its onset until today, and especially at its inception—is that recalling its details, whether those of 1948 or earlier, serves to remind us of overwhelming, undeniable truths. It exposes all the falsehoods aimed at distorting the Palestinian cause, vilifying the Palestinian mujahideen, and discrediting the free people of this nation. These distortions attempt to recast the Palestinian cause, to portray opposition to the Israeli enemy as merely an Iranian concern—irrelevant to the Palestinian people, to the Arab world, or to Muslims at large. They claim that those who oppose the Israeli enemy across the Islamic world—in Arab countries and beyond—are merely doing Iran a favor in a matter that does not concern them. This is the deceitful, absurd Israeli-American narrative peddled to the Arabs, designed to mislead them.
As we have said repeatedly, this is one of the most shameful, vile, and despicable acts of deception ever inflicted upon the Arabs: to tell the Arabs, to tell the Palestinian people and their mujahideen, “You have no cause. Why are you opposing the Israeli enemy? You must be Iranian agents. This is just an Iranian-Israeli conflict. It has nothing to do with you. Why stand with Iran against Israel? Israel can be your friend. You have no quarrel with it.” This has always been the logic of the Israelis—from the beginning. It is echoed by the Israeli leadership, repeated in their media, and frequently reiterated by the Americans. Worse still, their mouthpieces and supporters in the Arab and Islamic worlds parrot the same argument to justify their betrayal—some knowingly, some out of cowardice.
The truth is clear: the catastrophe of 1948—and before it—occurred long before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, long before its victory. What does that mean? It means that the Zionist Jewish gangs came to Palestine under British and Western protection, and later with American support, to kill the Palestinian people and occupy the land of Palestine. Their aim was also to seize control of the Islamic holy sites in Palestine, first and foremost the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
They arrived in Palestine and, from the very first moment, formed gangs that carried out acts of murder and extermination against the Palestinian people. This occurred before the Islamic Revolution in Iran and long before its victory, as we said. They killed Palestinians, occupied Palestinian land, and expanded their crimes to include the Lebanese people and other Arab nations, presenting themselves as enemies of Muslims in general and Arabs in particular. From the first day they occupied Palestine, they chanted—and still chant—“Death to the Arabs, Death to the Arabs.” They occupied the land, committed massacres, and continue to do so to this day.
These facts reveal the falsehood of all those who seek to portray the cause otherwise.
The Islamic Republic, from the very beginning of the Islamic Revolution—both before and after its victory—has taken an honorable Islamic stance by embracing the Palestinian cause, supporting the Palestinian people, and aiding the mujahideen in Palestine. This is precisely what every regime in the Islamic world—Arab and non-Arab—must do. Because the Palestinian cause is an Islamic cause, and it is also a humanitarian cause. Humanity must rally around it as a humanitarian cause and support it in every possible way. And all Muslims must rally around it as a cause that directly concerns them, due to their Islamic and religious duty toward a people who are part of their own, toward a land that is part of theirs, and toward holy sites that are among the foremost sanctities in Islam.
This is an obvious truth. But the Zionist mouthpieces repeat, as we have said—some to justify their cowardice, others to justify their betrayal—the Israeli descriptions of the issue and of those who oppose the Israeli enemy, including Yemen’s support. What do the Zionist mouthpieces, the Jewish agents in Yemen, say about Yemen’s support? “It’s just a problem between Iran and the Houthis.” In other words, they are once again echoing the Israeli narrative that the Israeli enemy’s occupation of Palestine, and its killing of the Palestinian people—who are Arab Muslims—is nobody’s concern. That the Israeli enemy may do whatever it pleases in our region, and no one should respond or resist, lest they be accused of acting on Iran’s behalf. But the Islamic Republic has proven itself in fulfilling its honorable Islamic duty of supporting the Palestinian people and embracing the Palestinian cause. This is an Islamic humanitarian obligation upon all Muslims.
Today, unfortunately, even within Palestine, some have begun insulting our mujahideen brothers in the Al-Qassam Brigades and the Al-Quds Brigades. They slander their jihad, which is undertaken in the name of Almighty God and for a just and righteous cause, as serving Iran—as if these people, these nations, and the Palestinian people themselves have no oppression to resist, no cause to fight for. Those who echo the Israeli-American logic—portraying the Palestinian cause and resistance to the Israeli enemy as unrelated to the Palestinians, to the Arabs, or to Muslims, and instead as a private matter between Iran and Israel—are traitors. They are harming the Palestinian cause. They are simply repeating the Israeli enemy’s rhetoric. They are parrots of Zionism—mouthpieces of Zionism.
Resistance Operations in Gaza
The Palestinian people, with their immense steadfastness in the Gaza Strip, continue to carry out heroic jihad operations. The Al-Qassam Brigades executed a series of deadly, complex, and fierce ambushes against the Israeli enemy east of Rafah, as well as other operations across the Gaza Strip. The Al-Quds Brigades also carried out significant operations with rocket-propelled grenades against the settlements known as the Gaza envelope. This is a momentous and vital achievement, and it delivers a resounding message to the Israeli enemy: that its renewed aggression against the Gaza Strip has failed—clearly and undeniably failed.
Our dear mujahideen brothers in the Al-Quds Brigades dedicated this blessed operation to the Yemeni people, and they sent their greetings to us in their statements. In turn, we convey to them—on our behalf, on behalf of our people, and on behalf of their brothers in the Armed forces—our profound peace, and we pray to God to grant them, and all our mujahideen brothers in the Gaza Strip, His help, victory, and support.
Attacks against Lebanon and Syria
The Israeli enemy continues its attacks on Lebanon in various forms: airstrikes, artillery shelling, and all kinds of targeting. This week, there was a notable and important statement from the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sheikh Naim Qassem (may God protect him), which was sufficient and comprehensive in addressing the Lebanese dimension of the matter.
The Israeli enemy also continues its attacks on Syria—crossing into Syrian territory, as in Quneitra, carrying out arrests and house raids, and completely violating Syrian airspace, even over Damascus. It is a grave mistake for some in Syria to refer to these actions as “Israeli interventions.” What the Israeli enemy is committing are not mere interventions; they are attacks and acts of aggression in every sense of the word. Soften the language all you like—it will do nothing to restrain the Israeli enemy.
Trump in the Middle East: Between Blackmail and Extortion
This week, the infidel Trump visited several countries in the region. His visit had a clear goal: financial—to extract money—but also political. In response to his visit, we would like to briefly highlight two points:
First, U.S. policy toward Arab regimes—even those with long-standing, advanced, and strategic relationships with Washington—is a policy of extortion. The United States’ approach toward the entire region and toward Arab regimes in particular is built upon systematic blackmail and complete disrespect.
The United States is open and explicit in this policy, which rests on financial and political exploitation. The U.S. often uses threats and intimidation to coerce regimes, portraying them as incapable of survival without American protection. This is why Trump has said of some regimes: their gratitude for U.S. protection is merely symbolic. He said, “We keep these countries safe. Without America, they wouldn’t even exist on the map.”
Note this logic: the logic of blackmail and exploitation.
The second point is that the Israelis are partners in all American financial and political gains. On the financial level, this is clear: the Americans take money from the Arabs and give it generously to Israel — providing it with weapons, bombs, missiles, and even cash. Israel is a partner in everything the Americans receive — and they receive immense sums from the Arab regimes, trillions of dollars.
Trump, moreover, incites against the Palestinians. He insults and slanders them in his remarks about the mujahideen in Gaza, fabricating lies to tarnish their image. He accuses them of crimes such as rape and other atrocities actually committed by the Israeli enemy — crimes our mujahideen brothers are innocent of — and yet he falsely attributes these to them. At the same time, he justifies all the crimes of the Israeli enemy and all of America’s support for it. He clearly seeks to entangle the Arab regimes in the betrayal of normalization and loyalty to the Israeli enemy.
America, too, exploits its entrenched influence at all levels when it comes to Arab regimes and Arab countries — especially as some of these regimes themselves are eager to dissolve entirely into the American mold. They melt into it, and thus America gains twice: once from what it extracts from them, and a second time by employing them — giving them whatever it gives only in exchange for serving its interests. This is a major problem.
It also exploits its influence to affect their entire situation — politically, culturally, intellectually, and in the media — erasing the nation’s religious identity, and more.
We say to all our people: no matter what you do with the Americans and Israelis, it will never benefit you. They are simply using you as tools in their aggressive policies, which have never changed toward this nation. God says in the Holy Qur’an:
{Here you are loving them, but they do not love you.}
And they will never love you. That’s why there has been no change — not in policy, not in culture, not even in their view of this nation. The same logic remains: the logic of American and Israeli contempt for this Umma — its regimes and its peoples — and their stance toward it in every form. Allah says:
{Never will the Jews or the Christians be pleased with you until you follow their religion.}
The negative and hostile approach cannot be changed through appeasement. Appeasement is a failed and losing strategy. What is offered — from America to Israel — benefits them, but it does not change their stance toward this Umma, not even toward those who offer and give to them. They simply exploit them — nothing more.
Support for Palestine in the West
This week, there were demonstrations and student activities in support of the Palestinian people in many countries — most notably in Western nations. Even more striking — and an important, advanced step — are the economic boycott campaigns launched by American universities, targeting companies involved in supplying weapons to the Israeli enemy in the United States.
When we call upon the peoples of our Umma — and even upon its regimes and governments — and emphasize the duty to boycott anything that serves the enemy materially and economically, especially given that the enemy relies heavily on financial and material capabilities in its aggression against the Palestinian people, in its genocide, in its killing of children and women — and yet no one responds, this is shameful. Especially when we see American universities moving at such a level: boycotting and withdrawing investments from companies because they support the Israeli enemy with weapons.
This stance, driven by humanitarian conscience, surpasses even that of some Muslims. Sadly, when some people of our Umma fail morally and ethically, they also fail religiously — even in their strategic thinking and their calculations concerning the national security and true interests of this nation.
In addition to this, there have been divestments from American universities and from companies that support the Israeli enemy with weapons. In response to the student movements in American universities, we are witnessing assaults of all kinds against students: beatings, arrests, expulsions from universities, and even dismissals in some cases.
There are also demonstrations in more than ten European countries, as well as in five Arab countries.
Yemen’s Operations Against Israel
To summarize, regarding support operations from the land of faith and jihad in the battle of the Promised Conquest and Sacred Jihad, there were nine operations this week involving hypersonic and ballistic missiles and drones. Among the most important were the operations targeting Lod (Tel-Aviv) Airport — part of ongoing efforts to impose a no-fly zone over the Israeli enemy.
Our armed forces are striving to achieve this crucial objective — including operations timed to coincide with Trump’s speech. Dozens of airlines continue to suspend their flights to Lod Airport — known to the Israelis as Ben Gurion Airport. This suspension is having a clear impact on the Israeli enemy across all fronts, especially economically.
Israeli maritime traffic and the movement of its ships — from the Red Sea, through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea — remain prohibited. The Israeli enemy is halted and adheres to this ban. This effort to block the enemy’s navigation is ongoing.
Our position, as we’ve said, in supporting Gaza has never wavered or retreated. It is a firm and steadfast stance — and we are constantly working to escalate it.
Regarding the American failure in its aggression against our country, there is consensus — consensus in the West, consensus in the United States, and even among Israeli commentators: whether experts, think tanks, or media outlets — that America failed. Its aggression against our country has failed in every sense of the word. It emerged from this round a failure — as it did in the previous round, when it supported the Israeli enemy under Biden, and failed again under Trump. Trump, in his speeches, is clowning around — trying to cover up his failure. But he even fails to cover up the failure of their aggression.
Our dear people are continuing their popular activities with great momentum, praise be to God. The marches last week were grand, massive, and dignified — in the capital Sana’a and in other provinces, districts, and rural areas. Indeed, our people’s weekly turnout — with millions taking to the streets — is unparalleled anywhere in the world. With tireless and unrelenting momentum, it reflects faith, a living conscience, moral values, integrity, honor, and loyalty to Almighty God in every sense of the word.
Last week alone, there were 1,067 mass marches and demonstrations across the provinces — from al-Sabaeen Square to various districts and countryside areas.
Student activities in universities and schools continue with energy, as do the armed mountain stand-offs — expressing this people’s firm stance at the highest levels. These continue with great vigor, demonstrating the steadfastness of our people, their pride in their faith, their resilience, their courage, and their trust in Almighty God.
General mobilization activities are also ongoing: training, military maneuvers, parades, and marches. Praise be to God — this is a blessing. It is a sign of God’s grace and guidance to our dear people, and it is a safeguard against the disgrace and shame of failing to support the Palestinian people during this great test of the Umma.
That is why our dear people, grounded in faith, remain unwavering in their stance, their activities, and their initiatives — standing powerfully and steadfastly with the Palestinian people, offering an inspiring example to all the peoples of the world. This noble stance is significant, first and foremost, in the sight of God, and also for the Palestinian people themselves — our dear mujahideen brothers in Palestine. The Palestinian people deeply appreciate the position of our people, and so do all the free people of the world — even in Western societies.
Above all else, the most important matter is the satisfaction of Almighty God and the fulfillment of this responsibility — which is of great importance for the future of this Umma, and for what God has destined for its peoples.
God distinguishes between those who seek His pleasure, respond to Him, obey Him, trust Him, and rely upon Him — and those who falter, neglect, disobey, fall short, fear America and others, and fail in their religious, moral, and humanitarian duties — and do not fear Almighty God.
{Are you afraid of them? God has more right that you should fear Him, if you are believers.}
This role — this revival, this uprising, this movement of our beloved people — is essential in building the future of our Umma and confronting the Israeli enemy, which poses a threat to the entire region. No matter how far the Israeli enemy goes in arrogance, injustice, corruption, and criminality, no matter how much Western support it receives — the outcome is certain.
Because it is promised by Almighty God in His Book, and even in the Torah and the Gospel: the Israeli enemy will perish. Its entity will be destroyed. Its existence is temporary and finite. This is the promise of God — and He never breaks His promise.
{So when the final promise comes, We will bring you to shame, and you will enter the Mosque as you entered it the first time, and you will destroy whatever you conquer with utter destruction.}
And He says:
{And if you return (to corruption), We will return (to punishment).}
God — Glorified and Exalted be He — has made a promise He does not break. And He has also promised defeat for those who support, ally with, and stand by the side of that enemy. They will lose with them and fail with them.
I call on our dear people to come out tomorrow — God willing — in a massive, dignified, million-strong march in the capital Sana’a and in the rest of the provinces, and to raise their voices high and strong, alongside the Palestinian people.
We are with you. God is with you. The outcome is yours — and for the righteous — and God’s promise never fails.
I ask Almighty God to guide us and you to what pleases Him, to have mercy on our righteous martyrs, to heal our wounded, to free our captives, to grant us victory, and to hasten relief and triumph for the oppressed Palestinian people and their noble mujahideen.
Peace be upon you, and God’s mercy and blessings.
“How weary am I of devils and brutes, a true human is what I long for.”
By Nora Hoppe at Al Mayadeen.
The fact that our planet in this day and age is home to a genocide – visible to all human beings on personal devices throughout the world – an ongoing abomination unhindered by any international body, by any intergovernmental organisation or even by those noble states that proclaim to be constructing a new and more just world… says a lot about our evolution as a species and potentially about the future of our civilisation.
We now stand before a bifurcation: one clear and broad path leads to destruction and ruin; the other is to lead to a new and harmonious world… but it is winding, stony, vague and enveloped in fog.
Like a frantic victim in quicksand, flailing his arms about in vain, the frenzy of a declining Empire is only accelerating its own demise. It has chosen the path leading to ruin and its own suicide… and it has many followers – especially in its diseased appendix – the Zionist entity – and the rest of the Western World. The symptoms of this necrotic drive are seen in the Forever Wars; a self-devouring economic system based on insatiable greed and wilful ignorance; the destruction of society, of the family, of rituals and traditions; and, essentially, a total contempt for all that is natural and alive… These signs arise from a state of permanent discontent and fear, which ultimately leads to self-destruction.
And now… though today’s Hegemon, the United States – built on genocide and slavery – has been waging countless wars since its inception, and Europe has been massacring and plundering the planet for over 500 years due to its endless rapacity… it is no longer just a question of geography. The core of the problem of our human civilisation today is the western mindset and the system of financialised capitalism, both of which have infected the entire world to various degrees… with only a few exceptions.
Most of the World Majority remains incapable of throwing off the yoke of the colonialist West because of corruption, dependence, societal pressures and a lack of support from states to enlighten citizens on their own past and history.
The mythification and emulation of the Western World have become so deeply ingrained in the marrow of so many over so many centuries… that a decolonisation process will take time. And little has been undertaken officially to this end. The promising BRICS+ states are focussing mainly on trade, economic growth and hi-tech innovation.
To avoid that western path to societal devastation and ruin and to clear the other path of fog, we of the Global Majority need to seek clarity in many areas… We may have to make seismic changes to our ways of thinking. We can begin by questioning our definitions of very basic terms… Such as: what is “development”, what is “growth”, “what is “prosperity”, what is “progress”? Not all growth is advantageous – as in malignant metastases. “Positive growth” today pertains chiefly to monetary matters – GDP, GNI, PPP. What is “progress”? Progress today mostly pertains to technological innovations. And certainly it is imperative that peoples are lifted out of poverty, such as China has succeeded in doing… but what is the kind of “prosperity” that Humanity would like to achieve??
Today, in this post-modern world, there is little discussion of development, growth, prosperity and progress with regard to immaterial matters…
It is not only education, the arts and cultures of the world that have fallen into stagnation, but obviously also the ethics and value systems of entire states and societies… not to mention the conscience of most of Humanity.
How else could a genocide become commonplace? How else could atrocities become a daily tolerable spectacle throughout the world? How else can two genocidal leaders meet and speak so eagerly about their “real estate plans” for their concentration camp as though they were having a normal conversation? How else could we have all become a global audience for an orchestrated famine? How else can so many European states and the EU Border Control Authority Frontex become the clients of “combat-tested” weapons (“tested” in Gaza) from Elbit Systems (“Israel”‘s largest arms company) that manufacture surveillance drones and remote-control turrets for armoured vehicles to enable European soldiers to avoid accountability and a bad conscience when targeted refugees are murdered by anonymous technicians located in remote offices? How else can European countries allow their historical incidents of genocide against the Jews to be “revised” and whitewashed by the Zionist entity for Israeli business advantages? How else could International Law be trampled upon without resistance? How else could serial mendacity and the constant breaching of constitutions and agreements become acceptable? How else could the citizens of those states, which vaunt their “freedom of expression” and “western values”, allow their states to reach the point at which they are now criminalising protesters for standing up for human rights?
Other than the people involved directly in battles for their survival (in Gaza, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere), courageous soldiers fighting against Nazism, committed journalists risking their lives on the fronts and activists, risking their professions for protesting against the Genocide… where is the rest of the world?
Some states voice their condemnation of the ongoing genocide but take no action, because… because it’s… complicated.
And yet… we have an exception… the Ansarallah of Yemen. There is nothing complicated about their resolute move: it is simply a matter of priority.
Why would the majority of a people of one of the poorest countries (perhaps the poorest) on Earth devote most of their energy, their scarce resources and their steadfast beliefs in risking their lives in defence of another people, who are not directly related to them and are located in a distant country (an estimated 2,270 kilometres away)? What unites these people in this goal? And what might be THEIR definitions of “development”, “growth”, “prosperity” and “progress”?
A crossroads of various civilisations for at least 7000 years, Yemen’s own great civilisation has, over centuries, experienced countless invasions, fierce battles, usurping dynasties and colonial occupations by those who continually sought to plunder, conquer and control this valuable, highly developed, resource-rich and “geographically optimal” territory.
In the 1990s, after a long period of economic hardship due in part to persistent Saudi oppression and notably Yemen’s refusal to join the US-Saudi military coalition against Iraq, a Zaidi grassroots movement emerged in northern Yemen, known as Muntada al-Shabab al-Mu’min (“Believing Youth”) – which offered social programmes to the impoverished population of the region. The successful movement grew and soon transformed into the Ansarallah (“Supporters of God”) who went on to fight six wars against the Saudi– and Western-backed Saleh regime between 2004 and 2010…
Now, despite decades of deprivations, the Ansarallah remain undeterred in their goals for justice, in their fight to liberate Palestine and to improve their own country. To achieve these goals, they do not require “monetary prosperity” and a financialised state. In all their operations they show solidarity and unity amongst themselves. They cannot be intimidated. They are ready to die for their beliefs and principles.
In their filmed speeches and discussions, the demeanour of the Ansarallah is visibly marked by confidence, serenity, grace, poise, modesty… During the Third International Conference “Palestine, the Central Cause of the Nation”, they displayed kindness, generosity and hospitality in welcoming foreign guests, even toward those hailing from “hostile states”.
Single-handedly, they have disrupted global shipping power dynamics. Relying on the expertise of their own specialists, they manufacture weapons themselves… The US Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer Bill LaPlante expressed alarm over the sophistication of these weapons: “What I’ve seen of what Ansar Allah has done in the last six months is shocking.”
In his article Factors behind Yemen’s Valiant Resistance, journalist and political analyst Ayman Ahmed describes how the Ansarallah “managed to modify conventional military tactics in very unconventional ways” by adopting a guerrilla-oriented approach: moving on foot over hostile terrains in small mobile groups, with their group leaders often improvising tactics on the spot, and using little to no electronic devices… “Their use of drones in almost guerrilla-style operations highlights how the Yemenis managed to jam billion-dollar Saudi air defenses…” […] “The Saudi regime has not been able to score any major military victory despite possessing large stockpiles of weapons supplied by the world’s leading arms merchants.”
But their strongest asset of all is their motivation and determination in their pursuit of “a dignified life and standard of living for Yemeni citizens, the protection of the independence of the nation and seeking world peace and appropriate equal cooperation with the other countries of the world” – as inscribed in their “National Vision for the Modern Yemeni State“. With this, they have won the support of the masses across all segments of society.
As Rune Agerhus, political analyst and member of the International Commission for Solidarity with Yemen, wrote here: “What Ansarallah has managed to establish, while facing war, starvation, and a crippling blockade, is a system that could best be described as akin to Yugoslavian worker self-management” […] “Farmland and output are controlled by the cooperatives, which are wholly owned and administered by Yemen’s peasantry.” The defence of Yemen as a whole is being fought on two fronts – “the battlefront and the development front”.
The system adopted by the Ansarallah is the antithesis of contemporary capitalism.
(Not to forget: Yemen has already had experience with socialism when its southern territory – a separate state in 1967-1990 – eventually formed a Marxist-Leninist government following decades of rapacious British colonial rule over the region.)
In our globalised, postmodern, technology-obsessed world dominated by Western norms, technocrats and the Market and guided by an ignorance of history and a limitation in independent reasoning, the Ansarallah seem to many backward and savage at worst, quaint and exotic at best…
Different people may have different views of the Ansarallah and will judge them accordingly… but the ACTIONS taken by these people in defence of another people undergoing a genocide, especially in view of their own circumstances, speak for themselves… louder than any fine words.
On 10th April 2025, under the incessant bombings of the barbaric Hegemon, Ansarallah’s leader Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi made another urgent appeal to the world… to come to the aid of the Palestinian people and to become conscious of our ethical responsibility as part of a collective humanity. Who is listening? Where is the “world community”?
