The Leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement, Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, asserted that the Saudi aggression against Yemen cannot be legitimized, as he said in a live broadcast on Wednesday.

In a live broadcast from Sa’ada in northwestern Yemen on Wednesday, Sayyed Houthi "What we hear from those who are linked with the aggressors... whatever they do to legitimize this aggression... it cannot be legitimized. Indeed, in reality, it has no legitimacy".

He said that the Saudi regime has been exposed by its aggression on Yemen through committing the crimes of targeting the civilians and all of the life necessities.

 

"It is a criminal and brutal aggression in the real sense of the word... Killing hundreds of children and women in a very ugly way... targeting the hospitals, mosques, ancient sites... electricity and water projects... is a crime", he said.

Sayyed Houthi criticized those who support the aggression, saying that such kinds of stances are only possible in this world because "America has hegemony and "Israel" has a big say."

He strongly condemned the use of "internationally-banned weapons" by the Saudi regime against Yemeni people and lashed out at those so-called humanitarian groups that have turned a blind eye to this sheer violation of human rights.

In parallel, he praised the resistance by the Yemeni people despite their sufferings and hardships.

"Despite the harsh circumstances, despite the suffering, our Yemeni people are giving all they can; with all they have... all components of the society play their role in confronting this aggression... Yemeni people confront the arrogant powers with steadfastness, firmness, and determination", Sayyed Houthi said.

Furthermore, he also noted that what Saudis want in Yemen is exactly what "Israelis" seek in Palestine.

He stressed that the popular committees and the Yemeni army will keep fighting the terrorists courageously despite the Saudi intensive air raids.

"Who is betting on the Saudi aggression will lose," Sayyed Houthi said.

 

The Yemenis are sacrificing all what they possess to face the brutal aggression which employed internationally prohibited weapons, Sayyed Houthi further said.

Moreover, he stated that the Yemeni rebels will take part in the UN-hosted peace talks in Geneva next week.

 

He added that the only solution to the crisis in Yemen is to "hold UN-sponsored talks in a neutral country."

 

Saudi Arabia began the US-led military aggression against Yemen on March 26 - without a UN mandate - in a bid to restore power to the fugitive former President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia.
Thousands have been martyred and injured in the attack, with the vast majority of them being civilians.
