US to relist Yemen's Houthis as specially designated global terrorists, AP sources say

The Biden administration is expected to soon announce plans to redesignate Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen as specially designated global terrorists, according to two people familiar with the White House decision and a U.S. official.

The move comes as the Houthis have launched dozens of attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea. The group says it has attacked the ships in response to Israel’s military operations in Gaza in the aftermath of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

The three people familiar with the decision were not authorized to comment and requested anonymity to discuss the matter ahead of the expected formal announcement.

I've got a stack of 1950s-era literature arguing that it isn't.

violent hordes murdering and raping hundreds of your people

Why would you describe the IDF like this? Are you anti-Semitic?

Doubling down on your terrible analogy I see.

The idf does no such thing and you know it. Being a Hamas apologist isn't a good look.

believe women

What women? This is a biased website with low credibility supposedly sharing an anonymous account from another website as though it were factual. There isn't even a name associated with these claims. More like, "believe Hamas." I'll believe it when there's evidence presented from a credible source. There's a lot of anti-Israeli disinformation floating around and this is a known source of it.

would that you were always so incredulous.
