“Hamas meets Houthi officials to discuss ‘expanding confrontations’ in Israel,” FirstPost, March 16, 2024:

Amid the Houthi-orchestrated crisis in the Red Sea and an ongoing war in Gaza, the rebels reportedly met Hamas leaders to discuss “expanding confrontations and encircling” Israel.

Speaking to AFP, a Houthi official said Representatives from Hamas, whose October 7 attack on Israel triggered the war, the Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine met last week with the Houthis in Beirut.

Palestinian sources said that the meeting saw deliberations on “mechanisms to coordinate their actions of resistance” for the “next stage” of the war in Gaza, now in its sixth month.

Another Palestinian source, also requesting anonymity to share details of the meeting, told AFP that those present discussed the “complementary role of Ansar Allah (the Houthis) alongside Palestinian factions, especially in the event of an Israeli offensive on Rafah”.

Even in these days of our woke, distracted, politicized, and depleted military, this may be a trifle over-ambitious.

“Yemeni-Houthi Official Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti: We Wish To Directly Confront The U.S., Israel, Their European Allies; We Will Annihilate Israel Without The Help Of Other Arab Countries,” MEMRI, December 20, 2023:

Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti of the Yemeni-Houthi Ansar Allah political bureau said on a December 20, 2023, show on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) that the Houthis seek to directly confront the U.S., Israel, and their European allies without the intervention of the Arab and Islamic countries. He said that the Houthis would annihilate Israel on their own and that there is no need for Arab countries to wage war against Israel and to abrogate their peace treaties with it.

Mohammad Al-Bukhaiti: “We will be able to annihilate the [Israeli] entity once and for all. Egypt, Jordan, or any other country, do not need to wage war against this entity, or abrogate their peace treaties with it. We will fulfill our duty in its entirety. If America becomes embroiled in the aggression against Yemen, we will confront it directly. We wish this.

“We want to confront the U.S., Israel, and even their European allies, directly, without any intervention from the Arab and Islamic countries.”
