Foreign Report Ansar Allah s position on the Palestinian cause is Steadfast and designating it as a terrorist organization will change nothing

The US Institute of Peace (USIP) affirmed that the decision of the administration of US President Donald Trump to designate the Ansar Allah movement as a Foreign Terrorist Organization will not lead to a change in its goals, noting that the benefits of this decision remain unclear amid uncertainty about its expected impact and the potential negative repercussions of attempting to implement it.
Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
In a recently published report, the institute addressed the dimensions of this designation, asking whether the designation is part of a broader strategy that includes military and political pressure tools and whether Washington will provide greater military support to the Presidential Council government loyal to the coalition, given the desire of its Gulf allies, especially Saudi Arabia, to avoid a new escalation of the war in Yemen.
The report highlighted Ansar Allah’s positions on the Palestinian issue, confirming that their position on Israel is “ideological and steadfast,” as they see it as an occupying entity that must be defeated and the lands returned to the Palestinians.
It indicated that this vision enjoys wide support in Yemen, which makes the group’s readiness to confront Israel militarily a factor that increases its popularity domestically.
The institute considered that “it is unlikely that the terrorist designation or any other political measures will change Ansar Allah’s strategic objectives regarding Palestine.”
It also pointed out that the decision will not deter the movement from resuming its attacks in the Red Sea, stressing that Ansar Allah had stopped their attacks since the ceasefire in Gaza began on January 19, but they had pledged to resume them if the truce was violated.
The report states explicitly that “given Ansar Allah’s publicly stated positions, it is difficult to imagine them remaining neutral if there is a renewed military escalation in Gaza.”
