The United States has included the Ansar Al movement, known as the Houte rebels of Yemen, on its list of terrorist groups, in retaliation for their attacks on ships in the Red Sea in the context of Israeli bombings on the Gaza Strip. This designation is an important tool to prevent terrorist financing of the Houtes, further restrict their access to financial markets, and hold them accountable for their actions.indicated the US National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, in a statement from the White House.
The Biden Administration has reported that it will reevaluate this designation, which will come into effect within 30 days, if the rebel group ceases its attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Adam. The people of Yemen should not pay the price for the actions of the Hutes. With this we send a clear message: commercial shipments to the Yemeni ports on which they depend for food, medicine and fuel must continue and they are not covered by our sanctions, he added.
For his part, the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, has asserted in a statement that these attacks against international transportation have endangered sailors, disrupted the free flow of commerce, and interfered with navigational rights and freedoms.. Blinken has specified that, to mitigate any adverse impact of the measure on the Yemeni people, the United States will carry out intensive outreach to stakeholders, aid providers and crucial partners to facilitate humanitarian assistance and commercial imports of basic products.
The Treasury Department will also authorize licenses for certain transactions related to the supply of food, medicine and fuel, as well as personal remittances, telecommunications and mail deliveries, along with port and airport operations, it has detailed.
This comes five days after US President Joe Biden claimed that the Hutes were a terrorist group in response to a question about the joint bombings by Washington and London against their strategic positions in Yemen. Are you willing to call the Hutes a terrorist group?a journalist asked him in a coffee shop during an official visit to Emmaus, in the state of Pennsylvania, to which the American president responded bluntly: I think they are.
The Biden Administration removed the Houtes from its list of terrorist groups in February 2021 after recognizing that this designation could have a devastating impact on Yemenis’ access to basic products such as food and fuel.
A proud
The spokesman for the Hut rebel movement, Mohamed Abdelsalam, considered it an honor that his group has been designated as terrorist by the United States today and affirmed that this will not change Yemen’s position in support of Palestine. The US designation is worthless and this will not change Yemen’s position in support of Palestine, but will We consider it a medal of honor for supporting the Palestinian resistance in Gazawhile the United States exercises its aggression against Yemen, he indicated on his official X account (formerly Twitter).
I point out that It is the arrogant policies of the United States and its support for the Zionist criminal entity, in reference to Israel, the true sponsors of terrorism. They can call us whatever they want. In a statement, the Hutes’ political office stated that this designation is ridiculous behavior as well as an injustice that is part of the American disinformation and its failed attempt to distort the reputation of Ansar Allah (Hutes) and the yemen people
