[00:00:00] the denial. Firstly, the Houthis did not deny
[00:00:16] work on a mechanism,
[00:00:22] has drawn many
[00:00:24] the violations
[00:00:27] internally and externally.
[00:00:47] the Houthis launched to target Mecca and its defenses intercepted it
[00:00:51] It is a march against the Qur'an south of the city, brought to the forefront a file
[00:00:55] that extends beyond the limits of the recent incident to a record
[00:00:58] of violations
[00:01:00] you rely on for against mosques and places of worship in Yemen. The Yemeni
[00:01:03] Network for Rights and Freedoms states
[00:01:06] at the local that it has documented, since the beginning of 2015 until August 2026,
[00:01:10] 4896
[00:01:13] violations in
[00:01:16] militias that 14 governorates, including bombing, shelling,
[00:01:20] we reject the attack on the Kingdom, and storming mosques, closing As for us, Qur'an memorization schools, and imposing imams
[00:01:25] because in the end, we and preachers. These figures challenge the rhetoric of a group that describes its project
[00:01:29] as the "Qur'anic march," raising the slogan of supporting Jerusalem
[00:01:32] in the test of practice on the ground. So, is what
[00:01:35] happened towards Mecca an isolated incident or
[00:01:39] through the efforts of the network and the efforts of a number an extension of a path that began from within Yemen? And how
[00:01:42] is the contradiction between religious discourse and behavior interpreted? And where does
[00:01:46] the sanctity of Yemeni blood stand from
[00:01:49] the concept of sanctities? We discuss this and more
[00:01:54] this statement and the statements call or come to the person in in our coverage tonight with our esteemed guests. And I welcome Dr. Yasser Al-Najjar, member of the Coordination Committee of Yemeni Scholars
[00:01:58] and Preachers, member of the National Dialogue
[00:02:16] deal with this
[00:02:18] Following in the footsteps of the ancient Qaramita,
[00:02:21] regarding the motives the new Qaramita proceeded to target the Two Holy Mosques, the Qibla of Muslims and their holiest
[00:02:25] Islamic sites, for the third time in a row since
[00:02:28] nearly a decade. The Houthi terrorist militia
[00:02:32] targeted the Grand Mosque in Mecca with a drone that was intercepted by the Saudi
[00:02:35] air defense before entering the restricted airspace of the holy
[00:02:39] capital. This was the third Houthi attempt to target Mecca,
[00:02:42] after launching a ballistic missile towards it in
[00:02:47] without even us in October 2016, and in July 2017. The incident
[00:02:51] longer limited to Yemen and its mosques, of targeting Mecca by the Houthis sparked widespread Arab
[00:02:55] and Islamic anger, and statements of condemnation were issued
[00:02:59] by all Arab and Islamic organizations and bodies,
[00:03:02] and government institutions. The Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the Muslim
[00:03:06] World League, Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, the Yemeni House of
[00:03:09] Representatives, and the Association of Yemeni
[00:03:12] the slogan of supporting Palestine Scholars condemned what they described as Houthi attacks on Mecca and the region of
[00:03:16] Medina, considering that endangering the holy
[00:03:19] sites constitutes
[00:03:21] with their war, whether against a violation of their sanctity and an incitement to the feelings
[00:03:24] of Muslims. Several Arab and Islamic countries
[00:03:29] what the Houthis are doing also condemned the incident. In the face of this
[00:03:31] to Yemenis with what the Zionists Islamic anger at the Houthis' targeting
[00:03:37] that what the Houthis are doing to and severe crimes of Islamic holy sites and an attempt to distance suspicion from them and improve their image,
[00:03:40] and better than what the Jews are doing Just as the Jews said about a Houthi spokesman accused Saudi Arabia, regimes, rulers,
[00:03:43] the unlettered," the Houthis personalities, organizations, and Islamic bodies like Al-Azhar
[00:03:46] and others who supported their accusation of targeting the Two Holy Mosques
[00:03:49] the Yemeni people, planting mines in of engaging in what
[00:03:53] and send he described as a takfiri path. Targeting the holy sites of Muslims,
[00:03:55] their mosques, Qur'an memorization schools, and government schools,
[00:03:58] as an educational and enlightened incubator, is a Houthi Imami
[00:04:03] the Sunni Muslim Palestinian ideology that has been practiced by the Imamate since ancient times, and the Houthi
[00:04:08] shot down? militia consistently follows it, from the Qaramita and the old Imamate
[00:04:12] to the Qaramita and the new Imamate. In a report issued
[00:04:15] in 2025, the Yemeni Network for Rights
[00:04:19] and Freedoms stated that it documented
[00:04:22] 4560 violations and crimes
[00:04:26] and weakness against mosques, places of worship, and religious scholars in 14
[00:04:29] governorates between January and June 2025,
[00:04:32] including 200 cases of shelling and 52
[00:04:36] cases of arson, and 351 cases of
[00:04:39] storming and looting, in addition to 467
[00:04:44] coup against cases of closing Qur'an memorization schools. From Sana'a to Taiz, and from
[00:04:48] and its aggression against our neighbors in mosques and Qur'an centers to the Two Holy Mosques within the Kingdom,
[00:04:51] questions are constantly raised about the relationship between the Houthi religious
[00:04:54] slogan and their political and military practice.
[00:04:57] The battle may start with a missile
[00:05:00] and their money lawful. or a drone, but when it reaches
[00:05:02] we will continue this
[00:05:03] premise, they are the holy sites, it becomes a battle over religion itself,
[00:05:06] necessitating the mobilization of all Muslims
[00:05:10] to protect their faith and holy sites.
[00:05:25] So, dear viewers, the attempt to target Mecca
[00:05:29] by the Houthi terrorist militia
[00:05:31] الارهابيه
[00:05:35] condemnations, including a condemnation
[00:05:38] from the Association of Yemeni Scholars for this
[00:05:42] attempt by the Houthi militia to target
[00:05:46] Mecca. So, let me start with Dr. Yasser Al-Najjar, member of the Coordination Committee of Yemeni Scholars
[00:05:50] and Preachers, member of the National Dialogue Conference.
[00:05:53] You issued this condemnation in the Association of Yemeni
[00:05:56] Scholars. Why was this
[00:06:14] says in His Holy Book: "Indeed, the first
[00:06:17] House established for mankind was that at Makkah, blessed."
[00:06:20] So the blessed House, the Ancient
[00:06:23] House, attacking
[00:06:26] it is a provocation,
[00:06:29] a provocation to the feelings of more
[00:06:32] than one and a half billion Muslims. It is the Qibla
[00:06:36] of Muslims. It is the place where the hearts of
[00:06:40] Muslims yearn. It is the place where
[00:06:43] you feel the unity of Muslims when you stand
[00:06:46] praying in the Haram, and next to
[00:06:49] you is a man from the furthest West, who might
[00:06:52] be an American Muslim, and another from
[00:06:56] the furthest East, from China, a Muslim.
[00:06:59] The Haram is the place that embodies Islamic
[00:07:03] unity on the basis of the Book of Allah, the Almighty. So, as
[00:07:06] I said, it is perhaps a provocative act
[00:07:09] for all Muslims, with all their
[00:07:13] categories and societies.
[00:07:15] Let's
[00:07:18] in the past few hours was the release
[00:07:22] of a report by the Yemeni
[00:07:25] Network for Rights and Freedoms, which has perhaps shocking figures, and this may
[00:07:28] also be documented within the violations
[00:07:31] that this network may document.
[00:07:34] And I now welcome our guest via
[00:07:37] phone, Amat Al-Rahman Al-Matari, the Secretary-General of the Yemeni Network
[00:07:59] from Arab and Islamic
[00:08:02] countries, as well as Yemeni
[00:08:05] condemnations, for this attempt. What does
[00:08:08] the threat to Mecca and holy sites impose
[00:08:12] in terms of a legitimate stance that transcends political and military considerations?
[00:08:16] Yes, let's say
[00:08:18] first that the Houthi terrorist
[00:08:21] group, by this act, has committed
[00:08:25] a grave sin. Allah, the Almighty, says in His Holy
[00:08:27] Book about His Sacred House: "And whoever
[00:08:31] intends therein [to deviate] with wrongdoing,
[00:08:34] We will make him taste a painful punishment." Some
[00:08:38] scholars said, "And whoever intends," meaning whoever intends only,
[00:08:41] even if he is in distant lands, to deviate,
[00:08:45] meaning to commit any act contrary
[00:08:48] to Islamic law in Mecca,
[00:08:51] Allah Almighty threatens him with a painful punishment.
[00:08:55] "And whoever intends therein [to deviate] with wrongdoing,
[00:08:58] We will make him taste a painful punishment."
[00:09:00] How about those who dare
[00:09:05] a drone, as happened on September 15, of this year
[00:09:09] 2026, and as happened on July 27,
[00:09:12] 2017,
[00:09:16] when they sent a ballistic
[00:09:17] missile and it was
[00:09:21] This daring only indicates a lack
[00:09:25] of reverence for the rituals of Allah Almighty,
[00:09:29] and it indicates that the motive
[00:09:31] for this group
[00:09:35] stems from emptiness
[00:09:38] in faith, in addition to disrespect
[00:09:43] for Islamic holy sites.
[00:09:47] And therefore,
[00:09:49] the issue has moved
[00:09:52] from being a Houthi
[00:09:56] the legitimate Yemeni government
[00:10:01] the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
[00:10:03] to hostility towards the Islamic world. Yes, which
[00:10:06] makes it necessary and obligatory
[00:10:10] legally for every capable Muslim
[00:10:14] to defend Mecca. The two holy mosques
[00:10:17] are under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
[00:10:21] which is a strong state and has a strong army.
[00:10:25] We commend its defense system that shot down all these drones
[00:10:28] and missiles. And they have
[00:10:31] the capability to defend the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership,
[00:10:34] people, and government. They are
[00:10:37] noble tribes. But despite
[00:10:40] that, all Muslims are willing
[00:10:44] to sacrifice their lives for the House of Allah. Yes, so
[00:10:49] of the Houthi militia continue
[00:10:52] And let us at this moment highlight the figures documented
[00:10:55] by the Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms. And at this moment, we welcome again
[00:10:59] Amat Al-Matari. Welcome, Mrs. Amat
[00:11:07] your latest report documents about
[00:11:11] 5,000 incidents of violations, specifically
[00:11:13] 4,896 violations in 14
[00:11:17] governorates over more than 11 years. What
[00:11:20] does this number include, and what methodology did
[00:11:25] documentation and verification?
[00:11:28] Of course, this indicates that these Houthi militias
[00:11:32] are continuing their violations
[00:11:34] to a very large extent, and this indicates
[00:11:37] that they are terrorist
[00:11:41] thrive only on blood
[00:11:43] and violations.
[00:11:45] I wanted to remind you, my dear
[00:11:48] brother, of what these Houthi
[00:11:52] militias have committed in terms of crimes against places
[00:11:55] of worship and Qur'an memorization centers.
[00:11:59] The policy of these Houthi militias
[00:12:02] began, first and foremost, with the Dammaj war, it began
[00:12:05] with targeting mosques and Qur'an centers.
[00:12:26] Mosques, also 52 arsons,
[00:12:30] 2011, 103
[00:12:34] bombings, looting of mosques,
[00:12:37] 341 mosque incursions
[00:12:39] and looting. More than
[00:12:43] 219 mosques were used as centers
[00:12:46] for their sectarian and racist
[00:12:48] mobilization.
[00:12:50] And also, they displaced, abducted,
[00:12:53] tortured, and arrested imams of mosques. Okay, regarding
[00:12:57] these figures, they are very huge figures,
[00:13:00] Madam Amat Al-Rahman. Do these incidents
[00:13:04] and figures reveal events related to the war, or is it a pattern
[00:13:08] of deliberate targeting by these
[00:13:10] militias? Of course, it is not strange
[00:13:14] for these militias to be systematic and that support comes
[00:13:18] to them and orders the Iranian project, and their
[00:13:22] goal is a project. It is not
[00:13:25] theirs, they are coerced, not free to choose.
[00:13:29] Therefore, you find them pushing the children
[00:13:32] of the Yemeni people to the fighting fronts, without caring about the number
[00:13:36] of casualties on these fronts. They recruit a large number of children
[00:13:40] and humiliate and starve Yemenis,
[00:13:44] and they provoke the world
[00:13:46] ships or neighboring countries or
[00:13:50] otherwise, and they do not care about what happens to the Yemeni
[00:13:53] people. They have besieged and starved the children of the Yemeni people,
[00:13:56] committed the most heinous
[00:13:59] of violations, arrests, killings,
[00:14:02] and abductions.
[00:14:05] Blowing up houses, blowing up places
[00:14:08] of worship, cutting salaries,
[00:14:11] besieging the children of
[00:14:14] schools and farms and residential areas.
[00:14:18] These militias are criminal militias that
[00:14:22] cannot be subdued
[00:14:25] or initiate
[00:14:28] peace. Of course, as we mentioned,
[00:14:31] they follow the Iranian project
[00:14:35] and try to achieve the goals of the Iranian project in the region. But the Yemeni people realize very well that
[00:14:39] these militias came to destroy Yemen, and now
[00:14:42] we would like to point out that the Yemeni people in areas
[00:14:46] under Houthi control are waiting
[00:14:49] for the arrival of legitimacy and liberation from these Houthi
[00:14:52] militias with great eagerness. They long
[00:14:56] for the state, for institutions,
[00:14:59] for law. Everyone who is not in the prisons of
[00:15:03] these Houthis lives in a prison in these
[00:15:06] areas that they control.
[00:15:14] Rahman, it talks about converting 423 mosques
[00:15:18] into military barracks and 61 into operations rooms
[00:15:21] and weapons depots. How did you verify these figures?
[00:15:25] And are these mosques still as
[00:15:29] they were?
[00:15:32] Of course, we have a monitoring team, a field team in all
[00:15:35] governorates, whether in the liberated governorates or in the governorates that
[00:15:39] have Houthi militias. However, there are a large
[00:15:42] number of observers for the Yemeni Network for Rights
[00:15:46] and Freedoms present in areas under Houthi
[00:15:49] control. Of course, we certainly
[00:15:54] a human rights
[00:15:56] mechanism,
[00:15:59] and qualified observers.
[00:16:03] These mosques have been monitored,
[00:16:06] and this is not everything that has been monitored. I want to assure you that there are a large number of mosques
[00:16:10] that are still
[00:16:13] unmonitored and have been used by these
[00:16:16] Houthi militias, whether as centers for their sectarian
[00:16:20] mobilization or centers for weapons storage.
[00:16:23] Schools, Qur'an memorization centers, and places
[00:16:26] of worship have been controlled by these
[00:16:30] Houthi militias and converted them from mosques, from places
[00:16:32] of worship,
[00:16:35] for educating people about religion, to
[00:16:39] mosques that serve their sectarian
[00:16:42] and racist project. Mr. Abdel Rahman,
[00:16:46] my last question to you: After all these
[00:16:50] violations committed by the Houthi militia, which you have
[00:16:53] documented and are still documenting, where
[00:16:56] do these files go? Will they reach,
[00:17:00] or have they reached, the United Nations? What is their fate?
[00:17:03] Yes, certainly, these
[00:17:06] files, we have not
[00:17:10] knocked on all international forums with them. They reached,
[00:17:12] and it was
[00:17:16] of organizations
[00:17:19] or human rights institutions, they reached the Security
[00:17:23] Council, and there were among them the sanctions
[00:17:26] that were issued against these Houthi
[00:17:30] militias. We are knocking on all international
[00:17:33] forums with them, and their echo has reached to the point
[00:17:36] that these militias have started to take into account the Yemeni
[00:17:40] Network for Rights and Freedoms, especially since it is at the forefront of all
[00:17:43] social media sites and also channels.
[00:17:46] And they realize that it obtains information
[00:17:49] with accuracy
[00:17:51] and a mechanism
[00:17:54] through which we can
[00:17:58] document crimes with sound and image,
[00:18:02] and we have, as we mentioned to you, observers.
[00:18:05] And now we also have an application
[00:18:08] called "Wa'i" that will be easy
[00:18:11] for anyone who has a violation by these
[00:18:14] Houthi militias to be able to enter this application
[00:18:18] and send the violation, whether sound or
[00:18:21] image or document or report,
[00:18:25] the network knowing
[00:18:27] his identity, to ensure
[00:18:39] you very much, Amat Al-Rahman Al-Matari, Secretary-General
[00:18:42] of the Yemeni Network for Rights and Freedoms. I return to you, Dr. Yasser.
[00:18:46] A spokesman for the Houthi militia
[00:18:49] says that their accusation of targeting Mecca
[00:18:53] is part of a takfiri path, and he warns that this path has
[00:18:57] security and military repercussions. How
[00:18:58] do you interpret this language?
[00:19:01] As it was said, she threw her disease at me and then left.
[00:19:04] Events and facts
[00:19:08] have proven that the Houthi militia
[00:19:11] follows the path
[00:19:14] of excommunication.
[00:19:18] Muslims, "There is no blame on us regarding
[00:19:21] say about Yemenis, "There is no blame on us regarding Yemenis."
[00:19:24] So they kill whomever they wish.
[00:19:27] And therefore, in their history and their
[00:19:30] ideology from which they
[00:19:34] proceed, the criminal Abdullah bin Hamza,
[00:19:38] when he, as it is said in history books,
[00:19:41] invaded the lands of the Shafi'is, meaning the lands of Ibb
[00:19:44] and Taiz and so on, he says he invaded as if
[00:19:48] he went to the land of infidels. So he killed
[00:19:51] and plundered and captured
[00:19:53] wealth. Then, when he returned to
[00:19:56] Sana'a, Abdullah bin Hamza, the
[00:20:00] butcher, says, "By Allah, I only fear that Allah
[00:20:04] will hold me accountable for what I left them with."
[00:20:08] So the Houthi Jaroudi ideology
[00:20:10] is based on excommunicating the opponent. So whoever does
[00:20:14] not acknowledge the principle of Imamate, you and I do not acknowledge
[00:20:17] the principle of Imamate of Abdel Malek Al-Houthi,
[00:20:20] so we are infidels to them. And consequently, whoever does not acknowledge this
[00:20:23] principle among the Yemeni people is an infidel.
[00:20:27] They consider their blood lawful, they consider the bombing of their homes lawful,
[00:20:31] they consider the bombing of their mosques lawful, they consider taking their money lawful
[00:20:34] because they consider them infidels
[00:20:37] So from this
[00:20:41] the takfiris, and from this
[00:20:48] So, at this moment, dear viewers,
[00:20:52] video call by
[00:21:11] Yasser. We were talking about
[00:21:15] this ideology that the Houthi militia
[00:21:18] has.
[00:21:22] And taking this religious discourse in threatening
[00:21:26] and the name of the Qur'anic
[00:21:29] March. What do you think of this
[00:21:32] naming? Is it just a scarecrow
[00:21:35] or a pretext to drive other things?
[00:21:41] in reality. There is not a single memorizer of the Qur'an among them, and they have not
[00:21:45] produced a single batch of Qur'an memorizers since they seized
[00:21:48] Yemen by force of arms in 2014.
[00:21:52] This terrorist criminal march
[00:21:55] was the first to target the houses
[00:21:59] of Allah. Let's go back in memory a little.
[00:22:02] The first target of the Houthi militias was Dammaj
[00:22:05] Center. It was besieged for more
[00:22:09] than three months, and all kinds of weapons
[00:22:12] were used against it. Dammaj Center belonged to our Sheikh Muqbil,
[00:22:16] may Allah have mercy on him. No harm had come to it since
[00:22:20] its establishment until that moment. So they started with
[00:22:23] the mosques, and thus,
[00:22:26] the esteemed sister mentioned statistics
[00:22:29] that are terrifying regarding their takeover of mosques. And I
[00:22:33] remember some incidental events, meaning perhaps, and this
[00:22:36] happened in our Ibb governorate, especially the mosques
[00:22:40] that have educational lessons. They
[00:22:43] charge of the mosque and tell him, "You have 24 hours,"
[00:22:46] and some of them three hours. They come with their military
[00:22:50] vehicles and weapons. "Three hours for you to leave with your personal clothes," and they
[00:22:54] loot the entire mosque and everything in it. And this has happened in many
[00:22:57] places and many mosques.
[00:23:00] If it had been monitored from the beginning, the numbers
[00:23:04] mentioned by the organization would have been many times
[00:23:07] over. I would like to point out an important point
[00:23:11] and premises for the attack on Mecca, to link
[00:23:14] this to that. Actually,
[00:23:18] this Houthi militia, led by the terrorist
[00:23:21] Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi, prides himself on being of
[00:23:25] Hashemite lineage more than on being Yemeni, and he sees
[00:23:28] that he has a historical right to Mecca.
[00:23:32] And he sees that he is the one who should rule Mecca because his ancestors ruled Mecca,
[00:23:35] so he claims. Therefore, the danger
[00:23:38] of the Houthi militias is no
[00:23:41] but extends to Yemen and its neighbors
[00:23:45] and holy sites everywhere. The question that arises
[00:23:48] is, speaking of holy sites, can a group
[00:23:52] or a faction defend one holy site and shell another
[00:23:56] holy site? I mean, the Houthi group,
[00:23:59] the Houthi militia, raises
[00:24:02] and Jerusalem. In contrast, these condemnations
[00:24:14] very important. I want to compare
[00:24:21] are doing to Palestinians. I assert,
[00:24:23] with figures,
[00:24:27] Yemenis is more heinous
[00:24:30] to Palestinians. And therefore, here we also send
[00:24:33] a message to our Palestinian brothers, some of whom, not all
[00:24:37] of them, say that the Houthi struck the Jews, and therefore
[00:24:40] he is the one with the right to blood. No, the Houthi, when he first
[00:24:44] arrived in Sana'a, first attacked the headquarters of Islamic movements
[00:24:48] in Sana'a and looted them. According to Houthi belief,
[00:24:53] people are infidels to the Houthis because they do not believe in the Shiite
[00:24:56] doctrine of guardianship. This is one thing. Secondly, if you look at how
[00:25:00] many Jews occupied Palestine, what is the area of Palestine? 1,000 square kilometers.
[00:25:03] These people have now occupied more than 200,000 square kilometers in Yemen.
[00:25:07] How many Jews have been killed since the beginning of the Palestinian-Arab conflict
[00:25:10] until today with Muslims? Statistics show 100,000 killed.
[00:25:13] We have exceeded half a million killed. Those imprisoned in Israeli
[00:25:22] us are more than 10,000, not to mention the tens of thousands
[00:25:25] imprisoned. The lands that were looted, the money that was taken from people,
[00:25:29] those who were killed, the disabilities. The
[00:25:32] World Bank says that approximately 5 million Yemenis
[00:25:36] have at least one disability, and some of them are caused by
[00:25:39] something other than war. I mean,
[00:25:42] the Palestinian who is under the Israeli Zionist
[00:25:45] occupation receives a salary,
[00:25:52] discussion, Dr. Yasser. Let us also
[00:25:55] welcome at this moment Sheikh Muhammad Nasser Al-Hazmi, member
[00:25:59] of Parliament, via video call. Welcome, Sheikh Muhammad.
[00:26:07] Sheikh Muhammad, the Parliament condemned the attempt
[00:26:11] to target Mecca in the strongest terms. What makes this incident
[00:26:15] different for the Parliament from the rest of the Houthi
[00:26:18] attacks on Saudi
[00:26:20] territory?
[00:26:24] Any attack on the holy sites of Muslims
[00:26:28] causes an angry
[00:26:31] reaction from every believer, male and female.
[00:26:34] I mean, this is a transgression of all
[00:26:37] the so-called red,
[00:26:40] green, and yellow lines.
[00:26:43] This is a provocation to every believer, male and female.
[00:26:47] Therefore, the reactions were not
[00:26:51] only from the Parliament, but also from the Yemeni people and the entire
[00:26:53] Islamic nation. And you have seen these
[00:26:57] reactions in all parts of
[00:27:00] the Islamic world. Regarding the Parliament, what message did
[00:27:04] it intend to convey through this condemnation
[00:27:09] level
[00:27:12] and also to the Saudi people, as well as
[00:27:15] to the Arab
[00:27:18] and Islamic region?
[00:27:23] whether on the Two Holy Mosques or the lands of the Two Holy Mosques,
[00:27:27] and our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are
[00:27:30] one body, our destiny is
[00:27:33] shared. We are
[00:27:36] each other's backbone.
[00:27:39] Therefore, anything that affects our brothers in the Kingdom
[00:27:43] affects us, and anything that affects us in Yemen affects the Kingdom.
[00:27:46] This is a matter
[00:27:50] that there is no disagreement
[00:27:53] on. And
[00:27:57] that preceded it, which condemned all attacks on our brothers
[00:28:00] in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stem from the bonds of brotherhood
[00:28:04] that bind us with our brothers in the Kingdom
[00:28:07] of Saudi Arabia. As for the Houthi militia, Sheikh
[00:28:10] Muhammad, it denies targeting Mecca and says
[00:28:14] that these are military operations. How does the Parliament
[00:28:18] denial?
[00:28:20] No, no, look, in their literature,
[00:28:24] and I might have heard some of what your guest
[00:28:28] presented, in their belief,
[00:28:31] the Sacred House is now under the authority
[00:28:35] of the infidels. Therefore, they tell
[00:28:39] you, and you have heard that Mufti who was speaking at
[00:28:43] their last meeting and they appointed him Mufti
[00:28:45] for Taiz, and he speaks
[00:28:49] with all frankness, he does not use dissimulation. He says,
[00:28:53] "We will target the Two Holy Mosques
[00:28:56] to purify and liberate them." So they consider us
[00:28:59] infidels. Therefore,
[00:29:03] these Two Holy Mosques must be liberated before they liberate,
[00:29:07] as they claim, Al-Aqsa Mosque. A great word
[00:29:10] comes out of their mouths, that they only say lies. They do not care about
[00:29:13] holy sites or anything. They only care about spreading
[00:29:17] their polytheism and myths and fighting
[00:29:20] monotheism, because monotheism is the opposite of what
[00:29:29] I return to you, Dr. Yasser. There is a spokesman
[00:29:32] for the Houthi militia who
[00:29:36] says that they did not
[00:29:39] only attack the Saudi stance, or they did not only attack the Saudi stance,
[00:29:43] but they also attacked religious institutions and personalities
[00:29:46] who supported the condemnation, and they went so far as to
[00:29:49] discourse to Al-Azhar and the scholars of Saudi Arabia, what does
[00:29:52] the expansion of the circle of animosity reveal
[00:29:56] to include religious and Islamic institutions?
[00:29:59] Allow me, before I answer this point, to support
[00:30:03] Sheikh Muhammad's point regarding the denial or
[00:30:06] the bombing. Let's discuss
[00:30:10] a logical issue. Firstly, the Houthis did not deny bombing
[00:30:14] the Kingdom. So the bombing is agreed upon between
[00:30:16] the two parties. Only the dispute is where, what did they hit?
[00:30:20] Well, if you are fighting Saudi Arabia, fight honorably. The borders of Saudi Arabia between
[00:30:29] indicates that there is an intention and purpose,
[00:30:32] and persistence and surveillance to bomb the two holy mosques.
[00:30:35] Okay, if you want to bomb military areas, there
[00:30:39] are no military areas except in the western region in Saudi Arabia,
[00:30:43] which is closest to you. This is contrary
[00:30:46] to military logic and realistic logic, and the area that people
[00:30:50] actually know. So we live in one place.
