In a speech delivered at a rally on March 26, Houthi official Khaled Al-Madani of the Supreme Revolutionary Council said: "The horn of Satan [i.e., Saudi Arabia] has hired mercenaries to attack Yemeni soil, but Yemen will become their graveyard." The crowds chanted "Death to America" and "Curses upon the Jews."
Following are excerpts from speech, which was broadcast on Mayadeen TV.
Khaled Al-Madani: Have no fear. Do not worry. [Our] people stand by Allah. Those who brought their planes to attack the Yemenis are the ones who should be worried. As for you, you have taken to the streets, in order to show the world that you do not fear the planes, and that you to not fear anyone in this world. Our people fear none but Allah.
Crowd: Allah Akbar.
Death to America.
Death to Israel.
Curses upon the Jews.
Victory to Islam.
Khaled Al-Madani: The Yemeni people fear none but Allah. These 10 countries… Unfortunately… All we wanted and all we still want, is to confront the enemies of Allah – the Americans and the Zionists. We do not want the blood of our Egyptian brothers to be shed, nor the blood of the Sudanese, of the Jordanians, or the others. But whoever attacks us – Allah has permitted us to retaliate in kind.
Crowd: Allah Akbar. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curses upon the Jews. Victory to Islam.
Khaled Al-Madani: We say to the Egyptian people: Al-Sisi, who has, I'm sad to say, revealed himself to be a slave, a shoe worn on Saudi feet striding toward Yemen, is a despicable man. But the Egyptians are a great nation. We know for a fact that the people Egypt, of Sudan, of Morocco, of Jordan, and all the people of the Arab and Islamic world do not support this conduct, and do not support their rulers, who have been bought by Saudi riyals.

The Prophet Muhammad described [the Saudis] as the horn of Satan. This horn of Satan has hired mercenaries to attack Yemeni soil, but Yemen will become their graveyard, Allah willing.
Khaled Al-Madani: Curses upon the Jews. Victory to Islam.

Perhaps the memory of some of [these] rulers has been infected by a virus. They have forgotten that many an invader came to Yemen, but none of them ever left Yemen. Yemen became their graveyard. We say to them: Refresh your memory. The Yemenis will never allow any foot that treads their land to leave. The land of Yemen will become their graveyard.
Crowd: Allah Akbar.
Death to America.
Death to Israel.
Curses upon the Jews.
Victory to Islam.

Khaled Al-Madani: The whole world will remember that the biggest mistake made by the stupid [Saudi] kingdom, with its kings and princes, who suffer from senility… They will remember that their biggest mistake was the decision to confront your resolute will.
