Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, a member of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, criticized Saudi Arabia's claims that it is seeking regional decline through its defense ministers' visit to Tehran, arguing that Riyadh's diplomatic rhetoric contradicts its continued war, blockade and Israel in Yemen. In a message he gave in response to the Saudi Foreign Ministry, al-Houthi outlined the following positions: Riyadh cannot claim to promote regional peace and security while continuing its military attacks, the blockade and Israel of Yemen. The Houthi said that Saudi Arabia's actions directly contradict its stated commitment to de-escalation. Saudi Arabia must stop its aggression, lift the blockade, withdraw from the occupied Yemen territory and compensate Yemen for the destruction caused since 2015. He emphasized that if the Saudi attacks stop, Yemen's actions will also stop and normal life can resume. The Houthis have criticized the so-called 'Mecca Defense Alliance', arguing that it seeks to address what its members call the Iranian crisis while concealing what it has described as outright aggression against Iran. He warned that Saudi Arabia's previous alliances had failed and that Riyadh had even turned against a former partner. He condemned Egypt and its parliament for supporting the defense of Saudi Arabia, arguing that such a position effectively amounted to a declaration of war on Yemen. He warned that Egypt risks repeating its military involvement in Yemen during the 1960s, exhausting its forces and leaving Sinai exposed to Israeli expansion and plans to displace Palestinians into Egyptian territory. The Houthis emphasized that Yemen is not afraid of new military alliances but warned these countries against supporting Saudi attacks, the blockade or the occupation of Yemen. He urged them instead to direct their cooperation against Israel, which he says is waging war across Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Iran, while threatening Egypt.
