Apart from building strategic ties with Israel, the United Arab Emirates’ attempts to control international naval trade in the Gulf and its activities in war-torn Yemen is increasingly becoming a source of concern for regional and global players.

US Action Risks Lives of Millions Already Facing Starvation
(Washington) – The Trump administration’s potential designation of the Houthi armed group in Yemen as a “foreign terrorist organization” would threaten humanitarian aid on which millions of Yemenis rely for survival, Human Rights Watch said today.

This could prevent numerous nonprofit groups and humanitarian aid organizations from operating in areas under Houthi control, where the bulk of the country’s population lives. The material support restrictions could also create
