The Houthis Applaud Palestinian “Historic Firmness” After Gaza Ceasefire Agreement
The Houthis, an Iran-aligned group based in Yemen, have hailed the “historic firmness” of the Palestinian people as the driving force behind the recent ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. In a statement reported by the Yemeni news agency Saba, Houthi spokesperson Mohammad Abdul Salam emphasized that the “ferocious” Israeli aggression was met with unwavering resilience by the Palestinians, ultimately leading to the truce.
abdul Salam underscored that the “sacrifices” and “determination” of the Palestinians, coupled with the deaths of their “great leaders,” including Hamas figures Ismail Haniya and Yahia Sinwar, compelled the israeli government to accept the ceasefire. “We, in Yemen, thank God for allowing our beloved people and our armed forces to assume this obligation by supporting Gaza with massive weekly demonstrations and effective and influential military operations from the beginning of the flood until the announcement of the ceasefire in Gaza,” he stated.
The Houthi spokesperson also warned that the “continued occupation of Palestine represents a threat to the security and stability of the region.” He argued that true peace in the Middle East can only be achieved with the elimination of what he described as an “emerging entity imposed by a Western and American force that provides it with the means to survive at the expense of the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region.”
The Houthis have been actively involved in supporting the Palestinian cause, launching dozens of attacks in the Red Sea and against Israel since the conflict began in October 2023.These actions have drawn retaliatory strikes from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel.
