Yemen's AnsarAllah criticizes UN Security Council resolution on Red Sea operations
Yemen's AnsarAllah movement has condemned the recent UN Security Council resolution that denounced the operations of Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea, dismissing it as a "political game."
Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, a member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, accused the United States of violating international law in the context of UNSC resolutions condemning Yemen's operations in support of Gaza.
In a statement posted on X, Al-Houthi labeled the UN decision regarding Red Sea navigation security as a political maneuver, emphasizing the United States as the party violating international law. He called for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks on Gaza and urged the Security Council to release over two million people from the Israeli-US siege, describing it as a lethal weapon.
Al-Houthi also warned of retaliation if the U.S. launches an attack against Ansar Allah due to their resistance against Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red Sea. He stressed that the Yemeni Armed Forces' actions are within the realm of legitimate defense, and any aggression would be met with a response.
The Ansar Allah leading figure concluded by holding any country that supports or defends the usurping entity, "israel," accountable for violating international law, especially if it is under American-British protection.
This development follows the approval of Resolution 2722 by the UN Security Council, led by the United States, calling for an immediate cessation of Yemeni Armed Forces' activities in the Red Sea. The resolution also demands the release of the Galaxy Leader and its crew, emphasizing the need to preserve global commerce, navigational rights, and regional peace and security.
Responding to the resolution, a member of AnsarAllah's Political Bureau, Hizam al-Assad, stated that the U.S. is trying to implicate others in the Red Sea after involving itself, cautioning that those who engage with Washington will deeply regret provocations in the Red and Arabian seas. (ILKHA)
