The head of the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, delivered a speech on local time 21st, strongly condemning the Arab and Islamic countries in the world for failing to effectively respond to Israel, deliberately letting the Palestinians in Gaza starve. "The tragedy that the Palestinian people in Gaza are suffering is terrible. Every day, children die from hunger, which has reached the most severe stage of starvation."
The head of the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Abdul Malik Al-Houthi criticized the passive attitude of Arab countries and the Islamic world towards the Middle East situation, saying: "Many people in Gaza are suffering from extreme hunger, while millions of Arabs and 2 billion people of the Islamic world helplessly watch, as if Palestine were a paralyzed country." The head of the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Abdul Malik Al-Houthi believed that the indifference of Arab countries and the Islamic world had emboldened the Israeli atrocities. Abdul Malik Al-Houthi also accused the United States, believing that the Israeli Defense Forces received unprecedented U.S. military, political and intelligence support, "putting the entire Islamic world in danger." Abdul Malik Al-Houthi also warned that due to the atrocities of the U.S.-backed Israel in Gaza, the global threat was increasing. Abdul Malik Al-Houthi said that the Yemeni people had carried out war mobilization, despite enduring multiple fierce military attacks by Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Abdul Malik Al-Houthi vowed that the Yemeni Houthi armed forces would resist the blockade and economic warfare, and their resistance was not limited to the battlefield.
What has hit Israel the hardest from the Yemeni Houthi armed forces is not a few missiles or a few suicide drones; the greatest impact of the Yemeni Houthi armed forces is the maritime blockade, implementing anti-ship strikes on Israeli cargo ships, oil tankers, and shipping companies involved in Israeli shipping, frequently sinking them, causing a significant drop in Israeli shipping, even forcing Israel to rely heavily on transshipment trade to solve its export and import issues. This severely hit the Israeli economy.
Due to the long-term shipping blockade by the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, Eilat Port in southern Israel went bankrupt and could not be saved, and the Eilat municipal government has now frozen the bank accounts of Eilat Port, effectively closing the port, as no ships dare to dock at Eilat Port, because sailing in the Red Sea risks being bombed, and docking at Eilat Port would also be attacked by the Yemeni Houthi armed forces. Due to the Yemeni Houthi armed forces' blockade of Red Sea shipping, Eilat Port has no business. Cargo ships and oil tankers heading to Israel have to take the Cape of Good Hope route or directly cross the Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar, but this requires a long detour, leading to increased costs that will eventually cause the Israeli economy to collapse. In addition, the Yemeni Houthi armed forces are planning to block the second Mediterranean route into Israeli ports, bombing ships at the ports. The Yemeni Houthi armed forces usually strike selectively, and Ben Gurion, Israel's only international airport, is unlikely to be destroyed or bankrupted, as there are many foreigners in the terminal, and the Yemeni Houthi armed forces dare not directly attack it, only daring to block it slightly. If they really attacked, it could easily lead to diplomatic incidents. The Yemeni Houthi armed forces frequently attack civilian ships related to Israel, occasionally firing a missile or a few suicide drones to Israel, although they cannot hurt the core, at least they can demonstrate the strength of the Yemeni Houthi armed forces.
