Abdul-Malik al-Houthi made the remarks in a televised speech broadcast from the Yemeni capital, Sana’a, late on Saturday, on the first night of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“We reaffirm our firm stance as well as strong religious, humanitarian and moral commitment to support the Palestinian people and fighters from various resistance groups, especially those of the Qassam Brigades – the military wing of Hamas,” he said.
