🇾🇪 Ansar Allah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, answering Riyadh's claim that Yemen targeted Mecca:

"It truly is not possible for any Muslim in the world who respects his affiliation with Islam to level, against a people whom the Messenger of God, peace be upon him and his family, testified to be the Yemen of faith, such an accusation as this Saudi slander...

The Zionist plan, the Zionist scheme, is based fundamentally on carving out Mecca and Medina and confiscating all of Palestine...

Most of you classify the Palestinian mujahideen as terrorists for confronting the Israeli enemy, not because they have done anything to you...

You gave trillions of dollars, with which the Zionist enemy was armed, and you gave it oil. Its planes flew on the fuel you supplied, to kill the Palestinian people.

Why do you always try to divert the compass of hostility into the nation itself? The real, clear, and explicit danger to the sacred sites is the Jewish Zionist enemy, which is explicit about this -- in its literature, its beliefs, its positions, its schemes, in everything.

So what have you offered? Nothing. You have given plenty, plenty to the Israeli and the American."
