Houthi leader says Saudi Arabia acts for US, Israeli and British interests

Single source · Yemen, Yemen (approximate) · 2026-10-29 13:28 UTC

Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, in speeches reported on 29 October 2026, says Saudi Arabia serves US, Israeli and British interests, has opened its airspace to Israel and banned Yemen's airspace to Yemenis, and that every nation wanting dignity must confront the aggressor. He also denies that the Houthis targeted the holy sites of Mecca and Medina, says the group's operations target only Saudi military mobilizations rather than southern populations, and says the Americans seek to design the most deadly weapons. A post signed "Mr. Commander" makes the same targeting claim about the Armed Forces. All of these come from Houthi statements relayed by Tasnim News, ME Observer, Al Mayadeen English and MenchOsint, with no independent confirmation.
