When asked about Trump military strikes In Houthis, based in Yemen, Al-Ansari said: “The strikes are very late. The hutis have interrupted global trade, they attacked the US forces and the fed instability.

He continued: “Any failure to ensure them risk the serious economic and security consequences. While Saudi Arabia remains committed to a political solution, which cannot happen without serious pressure on both the hutis and in their sponsor, I will go. The strength, not the appeasement, is the only language they understand.”
The official slogan of the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) says: “Allah is greater. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse the Jews. Victoria to Islam. “One of Biden’s first foreign policy movements was to stop listing the Hutis as a foreign terrorist organization. The first Trump administration sanctioned the Hutis.
