As always. We are working to mitigate any adverse impacts of this destination on the people of Yemen, including to the issuance of 50 licenses by the treasury Department designed to ensure that food fuel critical humanitarian Aid and essential commercial goods are able to continue flowing to vulnerable. How many civilians the United States as the world's leading donor of humanitarian assistance to yamit? We recognize the great humanitarian situation there which is why we are taking these steps to minimize harm to the civilian population at the same time. We will continue to make clear to the houthis that their attacks against commercial vessels must stop and we will remain we will remain prepared to take additional actions. If necessary the effect that we think it will have will be to allow us to deny the houthis access to the US Financial system. It will it will so I don't think they have a bank account at the Bank of New York, but people have ways of trying to get around and find access to the US Financial system. This will give us tools and thoughts, but also to enable the imposition of sanctions on any other Bad actors who support them something that we weren't able to do but now we're able to do because of this designation today don't know what attacks on those ships has has to do with Conflict in Gaza. In fact, I do know it has to do with nothing has nothing to do with that which is the point that we have tried to make clear and in Marshall and its International Coalition to make to to impose consequences on the houthis. So the message to Ron is the same as it was to the houthis, which is attacking unarmed civilian vessels that are just sailing through international waters has nothing to do with the conflict in Gaza. And we will do what we need you to deter those attacks. We do condemn those strikes. We seen a Ron violate the Sovereign borders of three of its neighbors in just the past couple days and I will say that the difference is the context very much matters. I think it is a little Rich for at 1 on one hand or on to be deleting funder of terrorism in the region of the leading funder of instability in the region and on the other hand claim that it needs to take this action these actions to counterterrorism. So when you seen us take action has been in a rock where we are forces are at the invitation of the yurok e-government. That's the only reason our forces are there and you've seen us take action against the houthis which we have done as part of an International Coalition and after a United Nations security Council resolution condemning the houthis for their attacks on commercial shipping. So I've certainly wouldn't want to speak for a run. I will say that we continue to deliver a message very loud and clear her to say it publicly and the secretary made it clear to a number of Partners in the region. When we are there including countries that have diplomatic relations with the wrong and have conversations with them. Then we do not want to see the conflict escalated and we do not believe they should want to see the conflict escalated but also said very clearly that we will defend us personnel and we will defend us interest and that will not change. So all I can do is speak for the United States and and make clear that. We don't think it's in anyone's interest including around see this conflict escalated. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"U.S. Puts Houthis Rebels Back on List of Global Terrorists","description":"The United States on Wednesday put Yemen's Houthis rebels back on its list of specially designated global terrorists, piling financial sanctions on top of American military strikes in the Biden administration's latest attempt to stop the militants' attacks on global shipping.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/nsj4ziVI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2024-01-17T21:26:59.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/nsj4ziVI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/nsj4ziVI/","duration":"PT4M4S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/nsj4ziVI/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
