Houthi terrorism has expanded to include targeting cities and vital installations, whether in Saudi Arabia or Yemen, in addition to threatening international navigation, and using missiles and drones to destabilize the security and stability of countries. The Houthi group in Yemen has become the most terrorist militia in the world, and is classified as one of the most prominent security challenges facing countries in the region and the world.

The danger of the terrorist Houthi militia lies in its possession of weapons by smuggling them by certain countries to strengthen the imposition of a fait accompli, prolong the conflict, and disrupt peace efforts, which increases the suffering of the Yemeni people and deprives them of opportunities for stability and development. Countries are not built by militias, and their sovereignty is not achieved in the presence of armed groups whose legitimate institutions dispute their authority and national decision. Those who support Houthi are considered his partners in terrorism and grave crimes against citizens and residents, whether in Yemen or Saudi Arabia. According to international law, any support proven to contribute to arming armed groups or threatening civilians and sea lanes requires accountability and punishment. The responsibility of the international community should not be limited to condemning attacks after they occur, as it should go beyond that to Taking effective steps to prevent weapons smuggling, dry up sources of funding for Houthi terrorism, hold Houthi officials accountable for violations against defenseless citizens, and support solutions that prevent Houthi terrorism and protect the lives of Yemeni civilians. Our country remains concerned with protecting its national security, and the stability of Yemen represents a common interest for the peoples of the region. A safe and stable Yemen, when it has a strong state and effective institutions, constitutes a basic pillar of the security of the Arabian Peninsula.

Confronting terrorism does not mean rejecting peace, but rather protecting its conditions. There is no real peace with the continuation of Houthi terrorism, no stability with the supply of weapons to the Houthis outside the authority of the state with the legitimate government, and no safe future under the terrorist Houthi militia.

The bottom line: Houthi terrorism does not become legal by changing its name or slogans, and external support for the Houthis does not absolve its owners from responsibility. Homelands are protected by the rule of law by the legitimate government, and true peace in Yemen begins with stopping Houthi terrorism and respecting the sovereignty of the legitimate government and the right of the Yemeni people to live in safety.
