Israel Benefitting from Saudi Attacks on Yemen
Abdul-Malik al-Houthi also praised the heroic resistance of the Yemeni people against the aggression, saying that the enemies of Yemen have been trapped in a quagmire by attacking the country.
The enemies have been defeated by the Yemeni people’s resolve, he underscored.
Al-Houthi further stressed that the Yemeni nation is defending its dignity and is on a path that leads to victory.
His remarks come as Saudi Arabia continues bombarding areas in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia began its military aggression against Yemen on March 26 – without a UN mandate – in a bid to undermine the Houthi Ansarullah movement and to restore power to the fugitive former president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, an ally of Riyadh.
Over four months of the Saudi airstrikes have caused severe shortages in basic necessities in Yemen.
According to the United Nations, the conflict in the impoverished country has killed nearly 4,000 people, about half of them civilians, since late March, while 80 percent of the population needs aid and protection.
Many international aid organizations are seeking a safe passage into Yemen to send much-needed medical and humanitarian supplies to the country.
