Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has called for the international community, particularly European nations, to designate Yemen's Houthi movement as a terrorist organization. This appeal comes as the United Nations Security Council convenes to discuss the threats posed by the Houthis, who are currently holding UN personnel hostage. Sa'ar emphasized that classifying the Houthis as terrorists would help reduce Iranian influence and enhance global security. He urged all countries seeking global stability to take action against the Houthi aggression. The emergency session of the Security Council is expected to address the implications of Houthi attacks on Israel, reflecting the urgency of the situation.
