Yemen Leader: ‘US & Israel Are the Real Terrorists—If You Escalate, We Will Too’

Yemen was the only Arab country to consistently take direct military action in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, blocking Red Sea trade routes and launching strikes on Israeli targets. In return, the U.S. and Israel bombed Yemen repeatedly, tightened sanctions, and re-designated Ansarallah, referred to in the West as “the Houthis,” as a terrorist organization. But Yemen did not relent.

Now that a ceasefire has been declared, will Yemen stop its attacks? Will the Resistance Axis continue to strike U.S. and Israeli forces? And what does this mean for the future of U.S.-Yemen relations?

In this EXCLUSIVE interview, Rania Khalek speaks with Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a senior political official and spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarallah, to discuss Yemen’s intervention against genocide, the future of resistance, and the shifting geopolitics of the region.

‘If they escalate, we will escalate. If they target our leaders, we will target theirs.’

@M_N_Albukhaiti warns the US & Israel and calls them “the real terrorists.”
