Following the Israeli strike targeting a Hezbollah commander in Beirut on Tuesday, both the Iran-backed Houthis and Hamas released statements condemning the attack.
The Houthi political wing, also known as Ansar Allah, expressed solidarity with Lebanon and its resistance against what they referred to as 'Zionist arrogance.' They praised Hezbollah for its support of the Palestinian people and its efforts in overcoming oppression. The statement highlighted the perceived abandonment of responsibility by Arab regimes in defending Palestinians and addressing crimes against them.
On the other hand, Hamas declared full solidarity with Lebanon and Hezbollah, denouncing the Israeli strike as a 'dangerous escalation.' The Palestinian group emphasized the importance of unity among Arab nations in the face of external threats.
The statements from both the Houthis and Hamas underscore the complex geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East, with various factions aligning themselves based on shared interests and opposition to common adversaries.
