Rashad Al-Alimi, head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, urged global support to classify the Houthis as a terrorist organization. He accused the group of attacking civilians and infrastructure and called for decisive international action.
A terrorist designation can change sanctions, aid flows, and diplomacy around a conflict that affects Red Sea shipping and global trade costs. That can influence prices and supply chains far from Yemen.
Watch whether international bodies act on the request to designate the Houthis as a terrorist group.
