Israel has directed its diplomatic missions across Europe to advocate for the classification of the Iran-supported Houthi group in Yemen as a terrorist organization.

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar emphasized in a statement, “The Houthis represent a danger not just to Israel, but to the entire region and the world at large. The foremost action we must take is to label them as a terrorist organization.”

The Houthis have consistently launched drones and missiles at Israel, which they characterize as expressions of solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
