US President Joe Biden is considering re-designating Yemen’s Houthi group as an “international terrorist organisation” following drone and missile attacks on the United Arab Emirates that were claimed by the group.The announcement at a news conference on Wednesday came shortly after the UAE ambassador to the US, Yousef Al Otaiba, urged the Biden administration to restore the designation in response to Monday’s attacks on an oil facility in Abu Dhabi.Last year, the US Department of State reversed a last-minute Trump administration decision, which put the Houthis on the US list of “foreign terrorist groups” and subjected them to sanctions, in order to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance to Yemen.
