Israel is actively lobbying its European diplomatic missions to push for the classification of the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen as a terrorist entity.

According to Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, the Houthis are a threat not only to Israel but to regional and global stability. He emphasized the importance of officially designating them as a terrorist organization, marking it as the primary step.

The Houthi group has conducted multiple drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, describing these as shows of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
