Israel Plans Major Attack on Yemen: “Enough”
Israel has presented a plan for a full-scale attack on the Houthi movement in Yemen to the UN Security Council, The Guardian reports.
Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon is also calling for the group to be designated a terrorist organization.
“Let me be clear: We have had enough. Israel will not stand by and wait for the outside world to react. We will defend our citizens,” he says.
The majority of Security Council member states condemned the Houthi attacks on Israel. However, several countries also criticized Israel’s attacks on Yemen, which they say have not taken sufficient account of the safety of civilians and aid organizations.
