Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, member of the Political Bureau of Ansar Allah (the Houthis): “Bin Salman has waged a war against us that will end only when he rules Yemen from Sana’a or when Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Houthi rules the Two Holy Mosques (Mecca and Medina).”
“The conditions for peace are well known: an end to the aggression and the blockade, the withdrawal of all foreign forces from Yemen, and compensation for the Yemeni people for the suffering Bin Salman has caused from the start of the aggression against Yemen until today. Yet he remains determined to continue the war.”
“Every Muslim must decide his position: either he is in alliance with the foundation of the Devil, or he is in alliance with God. Which side are you on?”
NEWSRAEL: WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
This statement marks a sharp escalation in rhetoric from the Houthis, directly threatening Saudi Arabia’s sovereignty over Islam’s holiest sites. It underscores the group’s growing boldness after months of attacks in the Red Sea and signals potential Iranian influence behind their strategy. The threat also puts renewed pressure on Saudi Arabia’s leadership as it balances its regional ambitions with efforts to stabilize relations under the shadow of the Yemen conflict.
