A senior Yemeni official says the recent labeling of the Arab country’s Ansarullah Resistance Movement by the United States “does not matter,” as what is more important now is the besieged Gaza Strip.
The United States imposed sanctions on Wednesday on seven senior members of Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement, the Treasury Department said.
Since the start of the war in Gaza, Ansarullah has declared its full support for its Palestinian ally, Hamas, carrying out strikes on Israeli-affiliated shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
A senior leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement has warned Saudi officials to take lessons from the way the United States treated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, cautioning them against blind reliance on Washington.
