Houthi Leadership Vows to Escalate Support for Palestinian Resistance
In a recent interview with Al Jazeera, Hazam al-Assad, a senior member of the Houthi Political Bureau, reaffirmed the group's unwavering support for the Palestinian resistance, particularly in the context of the escalating conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah. Al-Assad stated that the assassination of Hezbollah's leader would not deter their resolve but rather strengthen their commitment to the fight against Israeli aggression. He emphasized that martyrdom in this struggle is viewed as a form of victory, and the Houthis are prepared to deliver 'destructive blows' to their adversaries.
The Houthi leader expressed confidence that their military capabilities have significantly advanced, allowing them to conduct operations that could surprise their enemies. He underscored the importance of solidarity with the Palestinian cause, describing it as a 'principled and fateful' connection that transcends their own national issues. The Houthis have positioned themselves as a crucial ally in the broader axis of resistance against perceived Western and Israeli hegemony in the region, promising to escalate their military actions in support of Gaza and Lebanon.
