“A coalition that would rebuild the institutions of the state & would liberate the country from the clutches of the #militias & all forms of #terrorist groups,” he continued.
The address to #UNGA from #alAlimi comes 1 day after a drone attack on a hotel in Eilat, Israel's Red Sea resort city that was claimed by the #Houthi group, which controls the most populous parts of #Yemen.
The #Iran-backed group said it was its 2nd such assault on #Israel in 24 hrs. At least 20 people were injured.
“The #Houthi militias are no longer a rebel group in a remote area in the country," #alAlimi continued. "Rather, the Houthi militias are #international #terrorist organization armed to the teeth with an advanced Iranian arsenal."
He asked the international community to help restore #security in #Yemen.
"Therefore, I call on you today to form an #effective international coalition to restore security & stability to Yemen.”
#RashadAlAlimi, head of #Yemen's internationally-recognized presidential council, was up in person after #Abbas spoke via video.
"Our people are living one of the gravest #humanitarian crises facing #security threats that transcend our borders & spread to the region & the entire world," #alAlimi said, according to a UN provided translation.
