Houthis stress need for Arab action to prevent displacement of Palestinians

The leader of the Yemen’s Ansarallah group, the Houthis, Abdulmalik Al-Houthi, said yesterday that “the Israeli enemy’s aggressive course, in partnership with the US, is moving toward a clear goal, an attempt to eradicate the Palestinian cause.”

Al-Houthi added that “the displacement of the Palestinian people is evident in the Israeli enemy’s actions of genocide, destruction, starvation, and thirst.”

He stressed that “the displacement of the Palestinian people is also evident in the attacks on the occupied West Bank.”

Al-Houthi stated that “the Arab countries must take serious action and a courageous and historic position to prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and reject normalisation.”

“The Israeli enemy cannot displace the Palestinian people without Arab inaction and complicity, and this is something we must be wary of because it is complicity in the crime,” he added.

“If the Israeli enemy completes the displacement of the Palestinians, next will be the Arab countries surrounding Palestine,” he warned. “Zionist ambitions in the vicinity of Palestine will not cease except with a serious and genuine position.”

On 18 March, occupation forces resumed their aggression on the Gaza Strip, following a two-month pause as part of a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on 19 January. Israel had violated the truce deal over 900 times before it returned to bombing the enclave once again.
