Yemen's Ansarallah (Houthi) leader, Sayyed Abdul Malik Al-Houthi, delivered a speech addressing regional conflicts. He claimed the US and Israel failed in their goal to overthrow the Islamic Republic of Iran and accused Washington of seeking to impose its demands rather than negotiate. Al-Houthi also condemned Israel for violating the ceasefire and committing massacres in Lebanon, alleging it seeks indefinite occupation of the south. He declared that his movement "will not remain silent in the face of continued Israeli aggression against Lebanon," signaling potential Yemeni involvement in the Lebanon-Israel front.
