Literally The White House: “This executive order initiates the process by which Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, will be considered for inclusion on the list of foreign terrorist organizations.”
Details: The document states that the activities of the Houthis threaten the security of the American civilian population and military personnel in the Middle East, as well as the “security of the closest regional partners” of the United States and the stability of global maritime trade.
Literally: “The policy of the United States is to work with its regional partners to eliminate Ansar Allah’s capabilities and operations, deprive it of its resources, and thereby end attacks on American personnel and civilians, American partners, and naval shipping in the Red Sea “.
Details: The document also emphasizes that “since 2023, warships of the US Navy have been fired upon dozens of times, putting American men and women in uniform at risk.”
In addition, the document states, “the Houthis have carried out numerous attacks on civilian infrastructure, including numerous attacks on civilian airports in Saudi Arabia, deadly attacks on the United Arab Emirates in January 2022, and have fired more than 300 projectiles at Israel from October 2023”.
Literally: “The Houthis have also attacked commercial vessels passing through Bab al-Mandeb more than 100 times, killing at least four civilian sailors and forcing some commercial shipping in the Red Sea to reroute, leading to global inflation.”
We will remind: Former US President Joe Biden’s administration removed Houthi fighters from the State Department’s list of “foreign terrorist organizations” in 2021.
At the same time, Biden in January of last year confirmed the attack by the USA, Britain with the support of Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands on the Houthis in Yemen. He also answered in the affirmative to the question whether the term “terrorist” describes the Houthi group.
