A Yemeni fighter on board a hijacked ship with terrorists has been talked about as a “hot Houthi pirate,'' but the focus has been on his striking beauty rather than his activities as an anti-Israel fighter. I'm dissatisfied with being there.
While the Houthis seize ships in the Red Sea, 19-year-old Rashid al-Haddad has been gaining attention on social media, with some comparing him to actor Timothée Chalamet.
one of his admirers label him “Tim Hausi Chalamet”
“I know this is serious business, but there's a Yemeni Abercrombie model in there,” said another hooked user I wrote to X, There, she posted a clip of “The Office” character Pam Beasley holding a sign that read “Hot.”
One person wrote, “Oh my god, you're beautiful,” while another asked him to “hit me” if he ever came to America.
But al-Haddad, who posted a video of himself aboard the Galaxy Leader, a container ship attacked by the Houthis on November 19, called on his thousands of supporters to focus their attention on Gaza.
“I didn't talk about beauty or anything like that, but our cause is in Palestine and this is not the time to talk about beauty,” he said. I wrote to Xshare, newsweek article He reiterated his nickname, “The Hot Houthi Pirate.”
“I hope my message reaches all of you in free Palestine and ignites a message against Israeli aggression that violates human rights,” the influencer added.
Al-Haddad — Account user @rro1o on TikTok and @r42r43 on Instagram — He posted an image of himself holding an AK-47, suggesting he was part of the Yemeni army.
He describes himself as “ready for sacrifice and eager for martyrdom.”
But despite all this belligerent rhetoric, al-Haddad does not appear to be a genuine Houthi pirate. According to the TelegraphHe pointed out that he had not posted any video of the actual hijacking by Iranian-backed rebels.
The paper said that in Mehta's rival thread to X, he describes himself as a “media personality, actor, and photographer.”
in Interview with YouTuber Hasan Pikar“He is a Yemeni who stands with Palestine,” al-Haddad said through an interpreter.
He said, “The only motive is [the Houthis] What they have is solidarity with Palestine and stopping attacks on Palestine. ”
When asked what attracted him to serve aboard the Galaxy Leader, the interpreter replied: “He said he loves adventure, is a big supporter of Palestine, and is looking forward to bigger and more exciting things.”
His social media followers continue to grow.
“He can take me over,” one user wrote to X, while another asked, “Is there room for another one in his boat…?”
On TikTok, one person posted: [you’re] In America so far [hit me up]”
Last week, the US and UK launched attacks on more than a dozen Houthi-linked targets in Yemen. It comes just days after insurgents carried out the “largest attack” yet on ships in the Red Sea.
Tensions have been high in the Red Sea since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, when the Houthis began attacking and hijacking cargo ships passing through the vital shipping corridor.
The Houthis say their attacks are a show of support for Hamas, and have so far targeted 27 ships.
