Houthi: Israel using Western bombs powered by Arab oil for Gaza genocide

In a televised speech from the Yemeni capital Sana’a on Thursday, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi addressed the Zionist regime’s ongoing crimes in Gaza, as well as recent developments in the region and around the world.

He said the Zionist regime “continues to commit the crime of the century in Gaza before the eyes of the world,” adding that “witnessing such a scale of genocide and catastrophe would stir anyone with even a shred of human conscience.”

He said the regime is taking advantage of the weakness and vulnerability of Islamic countries, warning that Israel’s threats are aimed at “the entire Islamic nation and will not be confined to Palestine.”

Houthi touched on the recent emergency summit held in Doha, which brought together leaders from the Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in response to escalating Israeli aggression in the region.

He said while organizing the summit was a significant effort, its outcome was, as in the past, “limited to issuing statements with no practical action taken.”

This inaction, he said, has emboldened Zionist regime to launch verbal attacks even against mediating nations like Qatar.

On September 9, Zionist regime launched missiles at a residential area in Doha, targeting Hamas members discussing a US ceasefire proposal. Top leaders survived, but five Hamas members and a Qatari security officer were killed.

In response, the emergency summit of Islamic leaders in Doha condemned the assassination attempt and warned of its threat to regional stability. However, despite strong condemnations, the summit concluded without any concrete actions.

The Ansarullah leader questioned why Islamic nations fail to provide financial support to Palestine comparable to Western military aid for Ukraine, urging Arab states to close their airspace to Israel.

He also called on Arab states to de-list Palestinian resistance groups—including Hamas’s Al-Qassam Brigades and Islamic Jihad—as terrorist organizations.

He pointed to the recent visit of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio with Zionist regime's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Buraq Wall, as well as the opening of a tunnel near Al-Aqsa, as clear proof of deep American-Israeli collaboration—an alliance he said highlights the "Islamic Ummah's negligence."

The Buraq Wall is where Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon Him) tied the Buraq, the winged riding animal upon which he rode during the Night of Ascension.

Known to Jews as the Western or Wailing Wall, the Buraq Wall is the western portion of Al-Aqsa Mosque complex, which for Muslims represents the world's third holiest site. Jews call the area the Temple Mount, claiming it was the site of two Jewish temples in ancient times.

On Monday, Rubio joined Netanyahu on a visit to the City of David - an illegal Israeli settlement located in the Palestinian village of Silwan in the illegally annexed al-Quds - for the inauguration of "Pilgrimage Road" as an archaeological tourist site rooted in occupation, apartheid and extermination of Palestinians.

Elsewhere in his speech, Houthi invoked the historical Sabra and Shatila massacres to argue against disarming Hezbollah, suggesting it would leave Lebanon vulnerable to similar atrocities.

"The crime of the Zionist enemy in Sabra and Shatila has shown more than ever what consequences disarming the resistance can have," he stated, defending armed resistance as a necessary deterrent against genocide.

The Sabra and Shatila massacres took place in September 1982 during Israel’s invasion of Lebanon, where Israeli forces allowed the Phalangist militia to enter the Palestinian refugee camps in west Beirut and kill thousands of unarmed civilians over two days.
