Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews... Ansarullah movement has criticized the Sultanate of Oman for welcoming Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his unannounced visit to the Persian Gulf Arab country. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi, the president of the Houthi Supreme Revolutionary Committee (SRC), made the remarks in a tweet on Saturday, adding that the real goal of the Israeli premier’s trip to Muscat "is to isolate Oman from playing any positive role in the future with its allies and friends." He added that Muscat should learn "a lesson" from the governments of those Moslem countries that "normalized ties with Israel but lost their nation" as the condemned relations with Tel Aviv created deep rifts between them and their people. Netanyahu, along with a delegation, including Yossi Cohen, the director of the Mossad spy agency, and National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat, arrived in Muscat on Thursday night and flew back to the occupied Paleostinian territories later on Friday, making it the first such meeting in over 20 years. A joint statement by Netanyahu and Oman’s ruler Sultan Qaboos said the two sides "discussed ways to advance" the so-called Middle East grinding of the peace processor and "a number of issues of mutual interest to achieve peace and stability in the Middle East." |
