Saudi Arabia Urges EU to Designate Yemen's Houthis as Terrorist Group Amid Attacks
Saudi Arabia is urging the European Union to designate Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement as a terrorist organization amid increased attacks on the kingdom. While the Houthis already face EU sanctions, including an arms embargo and asset freezes, the EU has not extended terrorist classification to them, unlike the US, Australia, and Canada. European officials express concern that such a designation could hinder peace efforts in Yemen and close limited communication channels with the group. The designation requires unanimous EU member support, which remains limited.
