Leader of the Revolution Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi Speaks on Latest Developments

The Leader of the revolution shed light on the dimensions of the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza, the extent of Zionist savagery, and the duty of the Islamic nation and all of humanity in confronting this unprecedented injustice.

In his speech on Thursday regarding the latest developments of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi began by emphasizing that the greatest victims in the Strip are children, pointing out that their “horrific suffering” exposes the magnitude of international and Arab betrayal.

He noted that “100,000 children face the risk of starvation, including 40,000 infants suffering from a lack of milk, amid direct and deliberate Israeli targeting through all forms of criminality.” He explained that the Israeli enemy intentionally kills children as part of its operational objectives, and that starvation martyrs fall daily—while the reality is far more gruesome than what the numbers reveal.

The leader affirmed that the enemy has reached the point of targeting women during childbirth, stressing that the Zionist entity excels in displacement, starvation, and bombing areas it falsely claims are safe. He highlighted that the occupation forces hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into an area no larger than 12% of Gaza, then bombards and starves them.

Describing Zionism, he said: “Zionism is the product of extremely aggressive, criminal savagery,” adding that “during the so-called ‘truce week,’ the enemy targeted over 4,000 Palestinians, most of them women, children, displaced persons, and those seeking food.”

The “Airdropped Aid” Scandal: A Dirty Trick and Mass Execution
The Leader strongly criticized so-called “airdropped aid,” describing it as a “deceptive ploy and a death trap,” where Palestinians are killed when attempting to retrieve it—especially in what the enemy calls “red zones.”
He clarified that “airdropped aid does not satisfy the hungry; its goal is to play with Palestinian dignity,” stressing that “it could have easily been delivered by land.” He confirmed that the Israeli enemy is the sole obstacle to humanitarian aid and deliberately prevents organized distribution to impose chaos and infighting over meager resources.

Sayyed Abdulmalik pointed out that Israeli soldiers destroying large quantities of aid, targeting agriculture, and demolishing infrastructure are part of a plan to completely eradicate life-sustaining resources in Gaza.

Exposing Western and Media Complicity
The Leader exposed Western and media collusion, stating: “The scenes of children reduced to skeletons are shameful for human society and the West, which claims to lead civilization and liberalism.”
He affirmed that the Israeli enemy deceives the world with a failed propaganda war, attempting to whitewash its atrocities while facts are exposed by global media—despite censorship and persecution of free voices, as seen in Germany and the U.S.

Actions, Not Empty Statements, Are Needed
In calling for practical measures over hollow condemnations, the Leader stressed: “International criticism is insufficient—there must be real actions.” He stated: “The Israeli enemy relies entirely on American support and disregards condemnations, but it fears public awareness and the true exposure of its crimes.”
He emphasized the need for Muslims, especially Arabs, to lead the confrontation against this colossal humanitarian crime, rejecting the excuses of some nations that claim “Arabs should act first.”

“Do not be fooled by truce deceptions or airdropped aid—the enemy continues killing and starving. The real solution lies in sincere stances, serious efforts to confront the aggression, expose it, and resist it.”
