He explained that "thousands of Palestinian detainees are experiencing real suffering in Israeli prisons," adding, "The prisoners' suffering cannot be ignored or their cause erased from the picture."
Al-Houthi stated that "the Israeli enemy carries out daily kidnappings against Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip, throwing them into its prisons, amidst medical neglect and deprivation of basic rights."
He pointed out that the Israeli occupation is currently seeking to "evade responsibility for the Palestinian prisoners' issue and attempt to release its prisoners without committing to exchange deals," which constitutes a violation of the human and legal rights of Palestinian detainees.
Speaking about the situation in the Gaza Strip, Al-Houthi emphasized that "the ongoing Israeli aggression, in partnership with the United States, has displaced the majority of the population," pointing to the targeting of health facilities, including the Baptist Hospital, despite the catastrophic conditions of the health system.
He pointed out that the occupation continues to commit crimes of genocide and "carry out a systematic starvation war for more than a month and a half, despite international recognition of the suffering resulting from the prevention of food imports."
In "solidarity with Gaza" in the face of Israeli genocide, the Houthis have been targeting Israeli-owned or -linked cargo ships in the Red Sea or wherever they reach, with missiles and drones since November 2023.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with US support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving more than 166,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
Tensions have recently resumed between the Yemeni Houthi group, on the one hand, and Israel and its allies, led by the United States, on the other. This followed Israel's violation of the recent ceasefire agreement with Hamas and its resumption of its war of extermination against Gaza. The Yemeni group subsequently announced the resumption of military operations against Israel and its interests.
