“Since 13 December, the Houthis have claimed at least 11 attacks targeting Israel, using ballistic missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles. On 19 December, Israel conducted airstrikes that targeted energy and port infrastructure in the Houthi-controlled ports of Hudaydah, Salif and Ra’s Isa as well as Sana’a.”

“On 26 December, IDF airstrikes targeted Sana’a International Airport, the Red Sea ports on Yemen’s western coast in addition to power stations in Sana’a and Hudaydah, which the IDF said were being used for military purposes. The risks of disruption to vital humanitarian operations at a time when millions of people in Yemen are in need of life-saving assistance are of grave concern.”

“The IDF’s 26 December strikes on Yemen have reportedly resulted in at least six killed and dozens injured. A United Nations Humanitarian Air Service crew member was also injured when the airport was hit.

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Mohamed Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, United Nations:
“We reiterate that attacks originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen must stop. Security Council Resolution 2722 (2024) must be fully respected in its entirety, which demands that all attacks in the Red Sea must cease. No cause or grievance can justify continuation of these attacks.”

13. SOUNDBITE (English) Mohamed Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, United Nations:
“Attacks in Israel and Yemen, as well as in the Red Sea, are of grave concern.

Millions in Yemen, Israel and throughout the region would continue to bear the brunt of escalation with no end.”

“And during an operation on December 21, U.S. forces shot down multiple Houthi one way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea. These actions were consistent with international law and were in exercise of the United States’ inherent right to self-defense.”

“To the leadership of the Houthis: I have a message for you today. Perhaps you have not been paying attention to the lessons of this past year.

Storyline

Expressing grave concerned on the attacks in Israel, Yemen, and the Red Sea, a top UN official warned that with further military escalation, millions “throughout the region would continue to bear the brunt of escalation with no end.”

Addressing the Security Council today (30 Dec) Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific Mohamed Khaled Khiari said, “Since 13 December, the Houthis have claimed at least 11 attacks targeting Israel, using ballistic missiles and uncrewed aerial vehicles. On 19 December, Israel conducted airstrikes that targeted energy and port infrastructure in the Houthi-controlled ports of Hudaydah, Salif and Ra’s Isa as well as Sana’a.”

He continued, “On 26 December, IDF airstrikes targeted Sana’a International Airport, the Red Sea ports on Yemen’s western coast in addition to power stations in Sana’a and Hudaydah, which the IDF said were being used for military purposes. The risks of disruption to vital humanitarian operations at a time when millions of people in Yemen are in need of life-saving assistance are of grave concern.”

He added, “The IDF’s 26 December strikes on Yemen have reportedly resulted in at least six killed and dozens injured. A United Nations Humanitarian Air Service crew member was also injured when the airport was hit. A high-level UN delegation, headed by WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros, was also at the airport in Sana’a when it was struck.”

He stressed, “The United Nations continues to call for the immediate and unconditional release of all UN and other personnel arbitrarily detained by the Houthis.”

He reiterated, “Attacks originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen must stop. Security Council Resolution 2722 (2024) must be fully respected in its entirety, which demands that all attacks in the Red Sea must cease. No cause or grievance can justify continuation of these attacks.”

He stated, “Attacks in Israel and Yemen, as well as in the Red Sea, are of grave concern. Further military escalation could jeopardize regional stability, with adverse political, security, economic and humanitarian repercussions. Millions in Yemen, Israel and throughout the region would continue to bear the brunt of escalation with no end.”

US ambassador Dorothy Camille Shea, said, “On December 16, U.S. forces conducted a precision airstrike against a key command and control facility operated by Iran-backed Houthis within Houthi-controlled territory in Sana’a.”

She continued, “And during an operation on December 21, U.S. forces shot down multiple Houthi one way attack uncrewed aerial vehicles and an anti-ship cruise missile over the Red Sea.

Russian ambassador Vasily Nebenzya called on Members of the Security Council “not to be misled. These attacks have nothing to do with the exercise of the right to self-defense under article 51 of the Charter. And they cannot be justified either by international law or by UN Security Council resolutions 2722.”

He stated, “Israel will not hesitate, and Israel will not forgive you.”

Addressing the press earlier this morning, Danon said, “To the leadership of the Houthis: I have a message for you today. Perhaps you have not been paying attention to the lessons of this past year. Let me remind you what happened to Hamas, to Hezbollah, to Assad and toward those who thought to destroy us. This is not a threat; it is a promise. You will share the same miserable fate.”
