On Tuesday, the U.S. State Department announced the classification of the Houthis as a foreign terrorist organization. This step allows the inclusion in their list of those who provide financial or material support to the Houthis and to prosecute such actions. Countries that harbor Houthis must ensure that all relations with this group are organized in compliance with laws and international obligations. Similar measures were anticipated following the escalation of conflict within the framework of the war in Yemen.
