Yemeni officials in Sanaa are also calling on the kingdom to lift the terror designation Hamas and other Palestinian resistance factions
“Saudi Arabia is required to remove Hamas and Islamic Jihad from the terrorism list and put the Israeli entity in it,” Houthi told Al-Mayadeen.
He also warned the US to “return to where you came,” expressing to them that the Yemeni people are a people of resistance.
Yemen’s Ansarallah resistance group has been an active voice of support for the Palestinian resistance throughout their war with Israel since 7 October.
On 19 November, the Yemeni naval forces seized the Israel-owned Galaxy Leader commercial vessel, days after military spokesman Yahya Saree made threats that Sanaa was ready to begin attacking ships in the Red Sea.
Days later, on 25 November, an Israeli-owned ZIM ship was attacked with a drone strike, leading to Israeli shipping companies changing their shipping courses to deter any further Yemeni attacks, further increasing Israel's war costs.
“In light of the threat to the safe transit of global trade in the Arabian and Red Seas, Zim is taking temporary proactive measures to ensure the safety of its crews, vessels, and customers’ cargo by rerouting some of its vessels,” the ZIM statement reads.
Ansarallah has fired ballistic missiles and drones at Israel in a show of support for the Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, some of which were shot down by Saudi air defense over Jordan.
The official war between Yemen and Saudi Arabia has been on hold as direct negotiations between Sanaa and Riyadh have been taking place for the past year.
The China-brokered Iran-Saudi deal also included Yemen's peace as a security clause.
“Saudi Arabia and Iran will seek to exert all possible efforts to resolve conflicts in the region, particularly the conflict in Yemen, in order to secure a political solution that secures lasting peace in that country,” The Cradle columnist Hasan Illak recently reported.
