Houthi: Yemen army ready to start military actions against Israel if no aid enters Gaza

Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement Abdul-Malik al-Houthi delivers a televised speech broadcast live from the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, on March 9, 2025.

The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah has reaffirmed the movement's stance regarding the ultimatum given to Israel for allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Abdul Malik al-Houthi’s comments came on Monday as only one day remains of the four-day ultimatum given to the Israeli regime.

Houthi said the Yemeni Armed Forces are fully prepared to start a new round of anti-Israel operations in support of the Palestinian people in Gaza.

“We remain steadfast in our position regarding the deadline for the entry of aid into Gaza, and the Yemeni Armed Forces are fully prepared to carry out operations,” he said.

“Military measures will go into effect the moment the deadline expires if aid does not enter Gaza,” he said.

Houthi added that all Arab and Islamic governments are responsible to ensure aid delivery to Gaza and exert pressure on Israel to make it happen.

The leader of Ansarullah also slammed Arab leaders for being indifferent to ensuring the entry of aid to Gaza.

“We remind Arab and Islamic governments of their responsibility to hold them accountable, knowing that many of them are indifferent to ensuring the entry of aid into Gaza,” he said.

“What has happened and continues to happen on the Syrian coast is a horrific crime that must be condemned and denounced, and every effort must be made to stop it,” Houthi said.

The Ansarullah movement has already demonstrated its capabilities by disrupting Israel-bound ships in international waters and launching attacks on Israeli military targets inside the occupied territories.

The resistance movement said it will resume retaliatory attacks in case the regime does not abide by the Gaza ceasefire agreement.

Yemen’s Supreme Political Council warned that it would resume its naval operations aimed at enforcing a "blockade" against the Israeli regime if Tel Aviv failed to heed the country’s ultimatum on stopping its deadly attacks against the Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Sunday, the council declared that Yemen’s Armed Forces were fully prepared to carry out the directives of leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah resistance movement once the four-day ultimatum expired.

Houthi issued the ultimatum recently amid the regime’s incessant violations of a ceasefire deal between Tel Aviv and the Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, which is hoped to end Tel Aviv’s 15-month-plus war of genocide against the coastal sliver.

The Yemeni Armed Forces began taking Israeli ships and the vessels carrying supplies to the occupied Palestinian territories via the waters off the Arab Peninsula country, under missile and drone strikes after October 7, 2023, when the regime launched the brutal military onslaught.

The operations took a serious toll on the Israeli economy, contributing to meaningful price increases across commodities consumed by the regime’s illegal settlers.
