BRUSSELS-SABA
Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba has urged EU member states to implement the European Parliament’s call to designate the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization, enabling stronger action against its financing and arms networks.
Speaking at a meeting of the EU Council’s Political and Security Committee in Brussels, attended by ambassadors of the 27 member states, al-Zouba warned that continued Iranian military support was enabling Houthi attacks that threaten regional security, maritime navigation and international trade.
She stressed that strengthening Yemen’s state institutions is essential to securing the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait.
The meeting discussed increasing humanitarian assistance to Yemen and reaffirmed support for the EU naval operations Aspides and Atalanta.
EU ambassadors also condemned Houthi escalation, the siege of Taiz, attacks on civilian facilities in Saudi Arabia and commercial vessels, and the continued detention of UN staff, calling for compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2216.
