The UN Security Council approved a resolution proposed by the United Arab Emirates to impose an arms embargo on the Houthi terrorist group, with 11 out of 15 countries voting in favor of the embargo.
Politicians praised the diplomatic efforts of the United Arab Emirates, which was behind the Security Council's adoption of Resolution 2624, which considers the Houthi militia a terrorist group and imposes a list of sanctions and an arms embargo on it.
The journalist Jamal Al-Harbi said that the approval of the Security Council to impose an arms embargo on the Houthi militias is a new victory for Emirati diplomacy and a global consensus to classify the Houthi group as a terrorist organization.
Al-Harbi explained that the decision means international prosecution of anyone involved in arms sales to Al-Houthi, and most importantly, the decision classifies the movement as a terrorist militia, depriving it of the ambitions of treating it internationally as a ruling party or a de-facto government.
The leader of the Southern Transitional Council, Wadah bin Attia, said that Emirati diplomacy has achieved two successes: the first of which is a draft resolution submitted by the UAE banning the supply of arms to Al-Houthi, which is approved by the Security Council by a majority, and the second success is Russia's vote on the resolution after it had abstained in 2015.
The journalist, Adel Al-Yafei, says that the UN resolution proved to everyone that the UAE defends Yemen and its people more than legitimacy and sovereignty, from the Brotherhood fleeing overseas.
Yemeni politician Abdullah Al-Hadrami confirmed that Al-Houthi suffered a setback, and his hopes evaporated with Putin's swearing after Russia voted in the Security Council to ban the supply of arms to the Houthis, as an outlaw group.
Al-Hadhrami said that the Houthi militia remains just a gang, and every country is ashamed to put its hand in the hands of a terrorist gang.
The military analyst, Brigadier General Al-Kumaim, expected that this Emirati and Saudi diplomatic victory would follow military victories to end Iran's project in Yemen.
Al-Kumaim said, in a tweet to him on Twitter, that the Saudi-Emirati diplomatic victory in the UN Security Council by adopting Resolution 2624 designating Al-Houthi a terrorist group ends all hope for it to impose itself politically in the international system as a fait accompli.
Al-Kumaim added that this victory will be followed by field military victories to end Iran's project in the region and cut its arm in Yemen.
Yemeni journalist Sayyaf Al-Gharbani said that the Security Council's decision to classify the Houthis as a terrorist group confirms that the successful Emirati diplomacy covers the faults of legitimacy at the United Nations, noting that Russia, which used to vote with Iran, voted against it this time.
