Houthi official says group coordinating with others

Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a senior political official for the Houthis, has told Al Jazeera the group’s attacks against Israel are in solidarity with Palestinians.

Here are some of his translated comments:

  • Before we talk about the results and consequences, we need to confirm that our support to our brothers in Palestine is a duty – humanitarian duty, ethical duty and religious duty, whatever the sacrifices are.
  • These attacks from Israel will never affect our stand which is in support always of our brothers in Palestine. This will increase the determination to work hard to stop the genocide in Gaza.
  • At the end of the day, when we took part in this war we understood that there might be sacrifices and losses but our stand is just and ethical and we will never stop until the Zionist entity stops its crimes in Gaza, whatever the sacrifices are.

Asked whether the Houthis are in direct communication with groups such as Hezbollah about coordinating attacks against Israel, al-Bukhaiti responded:

  • Yes, of course, for sure there is coordination between us – Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran.

  • There are also joint operations between us and our brothers in Iraq; also our military operations [striking] deep [into] the enemy or in the sea is in coordination with our brothers in Hamas.
  • Coordination is there, coordination is developing between us and we might reach a point of unification in fighting this battle against the Zionist enemy.
