"U.S. Urged to Address Houthi Threat Amid Escalating Red Sea Tensions"

The vice president of Yemen's government claims that the U.S. ignored warnings about the Houthi rebels' threat to the Middle East, allowing them to regroup and rearm before supporting Hamas and launching attacks on Israel. The conflict in Yemen, where the Houthis control significant territory, has led to a humanitarian crisis and disrupted international trade. The U.S. had removed the Houthis from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations to aid Yemenis' access to basic commodities, but redesignating them could impede vital aid and peace efforts.
