The leader of Yemen’s Houthi group has criticized Trump for supporting Israel, saying the US president-elect would fail to end the Middle East conflict in his second term.
Abdul Malik al-Houthi said a series of normalization deals between Arab countries and Israel brokered by Trump’s administration during his first term did not help bring the conflict closer to an end.
“Trump failed in the project of … ‘the deal of the century’ despite all his arrogance, haughtiness, recklessness and tyranny, and he will fail this time as well,” Houthi said in his weekly speech.
The Houthis, who have controlled the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, since 2014, have attacked merchant vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and also fired on Israel itself in stated solidarity with the Palestinians.
“Trump himself had a previous presidential term and was keen to provide achievements for the Israelis.”
