A senior Houthi official just gave a rare interview to Israeli media outlet Ynet, and the message was anything but ambiguous. In the official’s words:
“We want Israel erased and Al‑Aqsa Mosque purified… its end is a divine certainty.”
Let that sink in. While the world debates ceasefires and humanitarian corridors, the Houthis—already launching missiles toward Israel—are stating openly that the very existence of the Jewish state is unacceptable.
This isn’t just fiery rhetoric. It’s a chilling reminder that ideology—not just politics or borders—is at the heart of this conflict. The Houthis see themselves as part of the Iranian-backed "Axis of Resistance," and they are not shy about their end goal.
There’s no video or audio of the interview, and the official’s name wasn’t released—raising questions about sourcing. But the tone, language, and message are perfectly in line with the group’s stated doctrine. Their slogan literally reads:
“God is great, death to America, death to Israel, curse on the Jews, victory to Islam.”
This is what Israel is up against—not just in Gaza, but from Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, and Tehran.
When someone says they want to wipe you off the map, believe them.
