Hamas expresses approval of Ansarallah’s ultimatum directed at the Zionist regime
Hamas has expressed approval of the Ansarallah movement's issuance of a four-day ultimatum directed at Israel. The ultimatum demands that Israel lift its blockade on humanitarian aid destined for Gaza, signaling a unified stance among resistance movements regarding the ongoing crisis.
On Friday, Ansarallah announced a warning to potentially restart naval operations targeting vessels associated with Israel. This action hinges on the Israeli administration adhering to ceasefire agreements and lifting the blockade impeding aid deliveries to Gaza.
Hamas has lauded Ansarallah’s recent actions, describing them as a significant gesture of solidarity. The group highlighted the unwavering backing that both Ansarallah and the Yemeni populace have historically extended to the Palestinian cause.
In a statement, it was noted that this bold decision underscores the strong ties between our brothers in Ansarallah and the Yemeni people with Palestine and Jerusalem. It further highlights their ongoing support and unwavering solidarity over the last fifteen months amid the crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas has called on the international community and the United Nations to intervene promptly to stop what it describes as Tel Aviv’s “starvation crime” targeting civilians in Gaza. This statement comes in response to the closure of border crossings and the hindrance of humanitarian aid deliveries.
The Palestinian resistance movement has urged Arab and Islamic countries to take decisive action to dismantle the blockade on Gaza. They called for these nations to employ all possible measures to challenge Israel’s ongoing restrictions.
On Friday, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, the leader of Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, issued a warning granting Israel a four-day period to re-engage in ceasefire negotiations and ease constraints on humanitarian aid. He cautioned that failure to comply would result in Ansarallah resuming naval operations targeting maritime traffic associated with Israel.
In response to the ongoing blockade, al-Houthi declared, “We will respond to a siege with a siege,” emphasizing Yemen’s unwillingness to remain passive in the face of what he described as Israel’s aggressive tactics to starve the Palestinian population in Gaza.
A senior Ansarallah figure emphasized the group’s readiness to extend its support to Palestine beyond mere verbal expressions. He highlighted the Israeli regime’s delays in meeting commitments related to humanitarian aid distribution, which were agreed upon in the ceasefire process.
The Ansarallah movement, also known as the Houthis, had suspended its military activities as a gesture of solidarity with Gaza after a ceasefire was instituted.
The Houthi warning was issued almost a week following the Israeli government’s reimposition of a comprehensive blockade on humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza.
