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.

Seemed pretty nice for a, "ghetto," and an, "open-air prison."

what would you do to the people keeping you caged?

Can I defeat them militarily? If so I'd do that, if I can't I'd make peace and get the best terms I can. Palestine cannot win through violence.

your propaganda piece doesn't relieve the blockade, free the people arrested without trial or charge, or open the border.

it's a prison.

insurgencies win by attrition.

that just isn't something i'd do. personally, i'd wage an insurgency. i think anyone who chose to do that would be justified.
