Yemen’s Houthis on Thursday said they will immediately take military action if the United State and Israel attack Gaza.
The group’s leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, said this in a televised speech today.
He said Houthis would monitor the implementation of the ceasefire in Gaza and “immediately move militarily if the Americans and Israelis move, based on the tyrant, Trump’s threat, to attack the Gaza Strip on Saturday or before or after it.”
“I call on the [Houthi] armed forces to be ready for military intervention if the criminal Trump carries out his threat [to displace Palestinians from Gaza],” added Al-Houthi.
DAILY POST reports that this is coming after Trump had warned that “all hell is going to break out” if Hamas fails to release all hostages being held in Gaza by Saturday afternoon.
Trump issued the threat while addressing reporters from the Oval Office in the White House after signing a series of executive orders earlier this week.
Hamas had threatened to postpone the next hostage release, scheduled for Saturday, “until further notice,” accusing Israel of breaking the ceasefire agreement.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu had said on Tuesday that Israel would resume intense fighting if Hamas failed to meet the deadline, though he did not specify the number of hostages to be released.
