Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar has called on the international community, particularly European nations, to designate Yemen's Houthi movement as a terrorist organization. This appeal comes as the UN Security Council is set to convene today to discuss the threats posed by the Houthis, who are currently holding UN personnel hostage. Sa'ar emphasized that such a designation would help limit Iranian influence and enhance global security. He urged all countries committed to global stability to take action against the Houthi aggression, echoing sentiments already expressed by the U.S., UAE, Australia, and Canada, who have classified the group as terrorists.
