Deputy Foreign Minister in the Sana’a government, Hussein Al-Ezzi, confirmed on Saturday that Sana’a would consider any US decision of designating Ansarullah a terrorist organisation as “a declaration of war.”
“The American threat does not worry Sana’a at all, because if it happened, it would expose America’s standards and undermine its credibility forever,” Al-Ezzi added in his account on the X social media platform.
التهديد بالتصنيف لايقلقنا أبداً لأنه إذا حدث سيفضح معايير أمريكا وينسف مصداقيتها للأبد.
وأما في حال أدى للإضرار بمصالح شعبنا فسنعتبره إعلان حرب ووقتها ستكتشف أمريكا كارثية ذهابها للتصعيد مع-اليمن-مقبرة الامبراطوريات وبلد الإستنزاف الأول في التاريخ(معنيون فقط باحترام من يحترمنا)

Al-Ezzi stressed that America would discover the disastrousness of its attempt to escalate with Yemen, “the graveyard of empires and the first country of attrition in history.”
The Deputy Foreign Minister concluded his post by saying, “We are only concerned with respecting those who respect us.”
Several media outlets reported two days ago, quoting US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, that Washington is thinking of reclassifying what it called the “Al-Houthi group” as a terrorist organisation.
The American official’s statements about reclassifying Ansarallah as a “terrorist organisation” come against the backdrop of Yemeni positions in support of the Palestinian people against the genocidal operations practiced by the Zionist entity.
