Al-Houthi referred to Egypt’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, and went on saying, “As it (Egypt) has a relationship with Saudi Arabia and the Palestinian factions, I call on it to intervene to implement Sayyed Abdulmalik Al-Houthi’s initiative regarding Palestinian detainees in Saudi prisons.”

He stated in a televised speech on the anniversary of the US-Saudi aggression, the stability of the Yemeni People's principled position in standing with the Palestinian People and its condemnation of all forms of conspiracy against it.

Sayyed Abdulmalik expressed his strong condemnation for the kidnapping and trial of members of the Hamas movement by the Saudi authorities, saying, "The Saudi regime is prosecuting Palestinians for supporting a terrorist organization, meaning the Mujahideen in Palestine.."
