MK Zvi Hauser of the coalition’s New Hope party calls for Israel to push for the declaration of the Houthis as a terror group during the Negev Summit starting tomorrow, following the attack by the Iran-backed rebels on targets in Saudi Arabia.

“Israel needs to utilize the meeting at Sde Boker tomorrow to lead an international process of declaring the Iranian proxy as a terror organization. This is the time to stand by our regional allies,” tweets MK Zvi Hauser of the coalition’s New Hope party.

Tomorrow’s meeting is due to be attended by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and his counterparts from the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia.

On behalf of the UAE, Israel has lobbied the US to relist the Houthis as a terror group. The UAE is allied with Saudi Arabia against the Houthis and has also been targeted by the rebels.
