Israel asks diplomats to seek Houthis' listing as terrorists

"The Houthis pose a threat not only to Israel but also to the region and the entire world.
The first and most basic thing to do is to designate them as a terrorist organization," Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said in a statement.

Israel has instructed its diplomatic missions in Europe to try to get the Iran-backed Houthis rebel group in Yemen designated as a terrorist organisation.

Sa'ar said he sent a letter to the president of the UN Security Council and asked for an emergency session to be convened to,
"condemn the Houthis' attacks and Iran's ongoing support for them."

The United States, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Israel currently designate the Houthis as terrorists, according to Sa'ar.
