/ The head of the national negotiating delegation, spokesman for the Yemeni “Ansar Allah” group (Houthis), Muhammad Abdel Salam, commented on Friday on the American and British strikes in Yemen, considering that they had committed foolishness with this aggression, and that it was coming to protect Israel.
Abdul Salam Ali said, “The Republic of Yemen was subjected to a blatant American-British aggression to protect Israel and to stop Yemen’s operations in support of Gaza, and they committed foolishness with this treacherous aggression,” stressing, “They are wrong if they think that they will deter Yemen from supporting Palestine and Gaza. Yemen continues its religious and humanitarian stance and will continue to do so.” “We will stand by Gaza with everything we can, and this aggression will only make it stronger and stronger.”
He stressed that “Yemen’s position is consistent in supporting Gaza, regardless of the circumstances,” stressing that “there is absolutely no justification for this aggression against Yemen, as there was no danger to international navigation in the Red and Arabian Seas, and the targeting was and will continue to affect Israeli ships or those heading to the ports of Palestine.” “occupied.”
It is noteworthy that the United States and Britain began a massive attack on several Yemeni cities at dawn on Friday, targeting sites belonging to the Houthis.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that the strikes against the Houthis targeted radars and infrastructure for drones and missiles, noting that “this operation aims to disrupt and weaken the Houthis’ ability to endanger sailors and threaten international trade in one of the most important sea lanes in the world.”

For its part, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced that it is “following with great concern” the military operations taking place in the Red Sea region and the air strikes on a number of sites in Yemen.
