An official with Yemen’s Houthi rebels criticizes US President Donald Trump’s comments on a plan to “take over” of the Gaza Strip.
Mohammed al-Bukhaiti, a Houthi leader, writes on the social media platform X that Trump’s remarks represent “American arrogance” that will subsume all if it is met with “submission from the Arabs.”
“If Egypt or Jordan or both decide to challenge America, Yemen will stand with all its strength by its side, to the furthest extent and without red lines,” he adds. Both Cairo and Amman have rejected the idea of taking in Palestinians from Gaza.
The Houthis launched attacks on Israel and commercial shipping running through the Red Sea corridor during the Israel-Hamas war. Its attacks have stopped with the ceasefire in the war, but transits through the Suez Canal, crucial to Egypt’s economy, halved during its campaign.
