Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi: Yemen is in heart of confrontation, and US escalation is failure
Sayyed Abdul-Malik also noted, in a televised speech this evening on the developments of the Zionist aggression on Gaza and the US aggression against Yemen, that Israel is committing crimes of genocide against the Palestinians, targeting health infrastructure, including the Baptist Hospital.
He considered the attempt to occupy the city of Rafah a threat to Egyptian security and a violation of the Israeli-Egyptian agreement.
Regarding prisoner negotiations, he emphasized that the Israeli occupation and the Americans are trying to blackmail the Palestinians and not abide by previous agreements.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik asserted that Hamas's demands represent the minimum humanitarian demands. He indicated the suffering of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, emphasizing that their cause cannot be ignored.
Regarding the Lebanese front, Sayyed Abdul-Malik pointed out that Israeli forces continue to violate the Lebanon Agreement with American support, pointing to the daily attacks on Lebanese territory.
He believed that the occupation's ambitions in Lebanon were clear, stressing that if the enemy had been able to carry out a comprehensive attack on Lebanon, he would not have hesitated to completely invade it.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik explained that the enemy seeks to plunder the waters of the Litani River and continues to occupy some sites inside Lebanon, targeting even temporary rooms of residents, which hinders the return of the displaced to their homes.
He added that the Lebanese resistance has achieved unprecedented achievements, as Hezbollah has made great sacrifices to protect Lebanon and the dignity of its people.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik stressed that the option of resistance is not a luxury but a national necessity, and abandoning it constitutes a great danger to the freedom and independence of Lebanon.
Syria and Palestine at the heart of the confrontation
Regarding developments in Syria, Sayyed Abdul-Malik stated that Israel continues its violations in Syrian territory by establishing nine military bases in the south as part of its aggressive regional project.
He stressed that the situation in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria highlights the need for the Arab peoples to possess means of deterrence and protection, and he considered disarming the resistance illogical, affirming that the Palestinian people have the right to possess weapons to defend their land.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik criticized the positions of some Arab regimes calling for the disarmament of the resistance, considering that they serve Israel's interests and prevent peoples from their right to defense.
Regarding the Yemeni issue, Al-Houthi stated that the Yemeni position is comprehensive, popular, official, and military and that the Yemeni front is influential and supports the Palestinian resistance.
He stated that the US aggression against Yemen is escalating, with the United States carrying out more than 220 airstrikes this week and 900 last month using F-18 aircraft.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi explained that the enemy failed to secure Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, and the Gulf of Aden, and the waters are still completely closed to Israeli ships.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi revealed that the Yemeni armed forces carried out 78 military operations this month by using 171 missiles and drones, some of which targeted occupied Jaffa and Ashkelon, coinciding with the Jewish 'Passover' holiday.
Al-Houthi explained that Yemen carried out 33 operations against the US aircraft carrier and its accompanying naval vessels, successfully shooting down 19 MQ-9 drones, in addition to conducting 11 interception operations against US aircraft in the Red Sea. He confirmed that the Truman aircraft carrier has become purely defensive, prompting the Americans to deploy another aircraft carrier to support the operations.
Sayyed Abdul-Malik concluded his speech by emphasizing that 'the Yemeni position is firm and effective and will not be affected by all this aggression,' stressing Yemen's continued support for the Palestinian resistance until victory is achieved.

UAE launches water pipeline project to supply Gaza
The United Arab Emirates has initiated the construction of a critical water pipeline linking an Egyptian desalination plant to the coastal area of Al-Mawasi in southern Gaza. The project, approved by Israel's defense establishment and carried out with logistical coordination across borders, marks a significant humanitarian effort to alleviate the water crisis affecting nearly 600,000 Palestinians in the war-torn enclave. The pipeline, which will operate independently of existing Israeli water infrastructure, is designed to deliver potable water directly from Egypt into Gaza. It is being developed under the supervision of the Israeli military's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and was greenlit by the Israeli political echelon as a non-political, humanitarian measure. On Sunday, the first batch of construction materials, delivered by Emirati representatives, crossed the Kerem Shalom border crossing following stringent security inspections by Israel's Border Authority and Ministry of Defense. Construction is expected to begin in the coming days and will span several weeks. "This is a purely humanitarian measure, taken within the framework of cabinet decisions," said Israeli officials, emphasizing that the project does not signal a move toward rebuilding Gaza or any shift in political posture. "The connection of the pipeline does not constitute a step towards the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip," they added, aiming to quash speculation of normalization or broader reconciliation. The move comes amid a temporary humanitarian truce announced by Israel over the weekend. In parallel, Israeli authorities authorized workers from the Israel Electric Corporation to reconnect a key power line from the Ashkelon power station to Deir al-Balah. This line supports the Egyptian desalination plant already contributing to Gaza's water supply.

National Interest : Houthi Threat to Red Sea Will Persist Without Consequences
Aden — In a sharply worded analysis, The National Interest magazine cautioned that Yemen's Houthi militia will continue to endanger international shipping in the Red Sea unless it faces tangible repercussions for its escalating attacks. The article, co-authored by researchers Mark Dubowitz and Kobi Gottlieb, argues that diplomatic efforts led by the United States and Saudi Arabia have failed to deter the Iran-backed group. Instead, the Houthis have exploited ceasefires to rearm and intensify their operations, including ballistic missile launches on Israeli targets and dozens of assaults on commercial vessels since October 2023. Global Maritime Security at Risk - Houthis' actions have disrupted global supply chains, threatening one of the world's most vital maritime corridors. - The threat, the authors stress, extends beyond Israel and now jeopardizes international trade and civilian safety across the region. Call for a Harder Line The report urges the U.S. administration to abandon its 'de-escalation at any cost' approach and instead adopt: - Stricter sanctions - Heightened diplomatic pressure - Potential military intervention, if necessary The authors emphasize that 'ceasefires must be earned, not given', warning that agreements with terrorist-designated groups are unreliable without credible deterrence mechanisms. As tensions mount in the Red Sea, the article reflects growing international concern over the Houthis' role as a strategic proxy for Iran, and the urgent need for a decisive response to safeguard maritime stability.
