RIYADH: The Arab Parliament has launched a comprehensive action plan to isolate the Iran-backed Houthi militia politically, financially and judicially, and classify them as a terrorist organization.
In a statement posted on X on Friday it said: “The Arab Parliament has launched an expanded regional and international parliamentary action plan to confront the terrorist Houthi militia and its repeated attacks against Saudi Arabia, aiming to rally a firm international stance to counter these attacks, work toward designating the militia a terrorist organization, cut off its sources of funding and arms, and hold those responsible for its crimes and violations accountable under international law.”
The plan is based on effective and influential parliamentary action led by the Arab Parliament along four main tracks.
The first is the diplomatic track, which targets the capitals of international decision-making through direct engagement with the parliaments of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, to rally international support for Arab action and press for firm international positions and measures to halt Houthi attacks, hold those responsible accountable, and confront the sources of support, funding and arms that enable the militia to continue its criminal activities.
The second is the political and security track.
