The political writer Wafa al-Badawi:
The leader of the "Houthis" denies the existence of a siege and emphasizes that the flow of food and medicine is available in all areas, and that the restrictions are limited solely to preventing the flow of weapons to groups affiliated with Riyadh. At the same time, the speech renews the call to stop the aggression and lift the comprehensive blockade on while emphasizing that continuing this way will only achieve more strategic losses.
