A leader of the Houthi terrorist group in Yemen on Wednesday criticized U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks on Gaza, calling them an example of “American arrogance” that should not be met with Arab submission.
“American arrogance will spare no one as long as it is met with submission from the Arabs. This reaffirms that Yemen’s policy of supporting any resistance front is the correct choice,” senior political officer and spokesman Mohammed al-Bukhaiti wrote on X.
The terrorist leader also said that if Cairo or Amman confront the U.S., Yemen’s Houthis would fully support them “to the furthest extent and without red lines.”
Egypt and Jordan have rejected Trump’s proposal to accept Gazans, a proposal he repeated on Tuesday at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggesting that Amman and Cairo would come around to accepting Palestinians from the war-torn coastal enclave.
The Houthis, who attacked Israel and Red Sea shipping during the current Israel-Hamas war, halted their strikes following the ceasefire that went into effect on Jan. 19. However, their actions significantly reduced Suez Canal traffic, damaging Egypt’s economy because of lost transit fees.
