Why it matters: The Ansarullah of Yemen has played a significant role in resistance against the US intervention in the Middle East.
Yemen's Ansarullah, as part of the axis of resistance, has put the Israeli regime in a bind. Yemeni missiles and drones targeting Israel have become a nightmare for Tel Aviv and its security and military institutions.
During the Joe Biden administration, the Ansarullah group, also known as the Houthis in Yemen, was removed from the list of "foreign terrorist organizations," but Trump re-listed it once again.
What the statement is saying:
The White House, in a statement, announced: “Yemen's Ansarullah has been designated a foreign terrorist organization."
What’s next:
The designation could further complicate humanitarian efforts in Yemen by limiting certain types of engagement and financial transactions.
Regional and international partners are expected to respond to the new U.S. policy, potentially leading to shifts in diplomatic and economic relations in the region.
