  • SANA’A, YEMEN – JANUARY 25: A Yemen’s Houthi fighter carries RBG as he takes part in a tribal rally and parade denouncing the U.S.-led aerial attacks on Yemen and in solidarity with Palestinians against Israel on January 25, 2024, on the outskirts of Sana’a, Yemen. The United States and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on four senior Yemen’s Houthi group leaders as a step to degrade and destroy the group’s capabilities and stop attacks on vessels in the Red Sea bound for Israel. At the same time, the US administration is gravitating toward a longer-term strategy to widen the military operation targeting the Houthi group and its financiers.
