In response to the US decision to place the Ansarla movement on Ansarla’s “terrorist list,” Muhammad Ali al-Al-Hhoti, a member of Ansarla’s highest political council, stressed that Yemen’s priority is to send essential supplies to blocked Palestinian territories.
He emphasized that the priorities are more important than Washington’s anti-earmen decisions, according to Press TV.
Al-Houthi’s response comes two days after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that Washington had redesigned the Yemeni Resistance Group as a “foreign terrorist organization (FTO).”
“It is US terrorism that blocks aid to Gaza and undermines the peace deal, and support for Gaza through Yemen’s maritime operations is a legitimate act,” stressed High-ranked Ansarra officials as the Israeli regime blocked the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
Three days after he took office in the White House in January, US President Donald Trump had promised to take action against the Yemeni resistance movement.
Previously, the Political Bureau of Yemen’s Ansarlah Movement highlighted its right to resist Palestinian occupation, announced that Yemeni military is ready to resume operations to combat Zionist crime, and took serious measures to break Gaza’s lockdown on Arabs and support the Palestinians.
Also on Wednesday, the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on seven Ansarrah leaders, claiming that “military grade items and weapons systems were smuggled into areas controlled by Houthi in Yemen and negotiated the procurement of Houthi Weapons from Russia.”
The designation comes in response to Yemeni military operations on Israeli territory, and since November 2023, attacks on US naval warships and Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden have been launched in support of Palestinians killed in the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
