A senior Houthi official vows the Yemeni rebels will continue operations against Israel, as repeated attacks by the Iran-backed group disrupt international shipping through a key Red Sea waterway.
“The Houthis will not abandon the Palestinian cause, regardless of any US, Israeli, or Western threats,” Houthi politburo member Ali al-Qahoum tells Al-Mayadeen, according to Reuters, while warning any hostile move against Yemen will have dire consequences.
He also claims: “Yemen is concerned in protecting international maritime navigation in accordance with international laws and norms.”
