Saudi Ambassador to the United States Reema bint Bandar Al Saud called on all countries to designate Yemen's Houthi rebels as a terrorist organization, stating that the previous U.S. designation was correct. In an op-ed published Tuesday in The New York Times, she described the Houthis as a growing "terror network" whose influence extends far beyond Yemen, and urged the international community to coordinate actions to dismantle the Houthis' military capabilities, cut off their funding, intercept weapons shipments, and strengthen Yemen's internationally recognized government.
