UNSC passes US-proposed resolution against Ansarullah amid Red Sea tensions

New York, IRNA - The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) has adopted a resolution against Yemen’s Anarullah resistance movement amid tensions in the Red Sea without addressing US support for the Zionist regime’s deadly war on Gaza as the root cause of the situation.

Resolution 2722, proposed by the United States and Japan, gained 11 votes in favor and none against. 

Four countries, namely China, Russia, Algeria and Mozambique, abstained. Russia and China did not veto the resolution. 

Russia first proposed three amendments to the draft text but all were dismissed, paving the way for a vote on the draft resolution. 

In reaction to the resolution, Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia said that it was important to recognize the “direct consequences” of the occupying regime’s “very violent military operations” that have lasted for more than three months in Gaza to correct the situation in the Red Sea. 

Earlier on January 6, the Yemeni Parliament emphasized that Washington and its allies were responsible for the militarization of the Red Sea, saying that the Yemeni military attaches importance to the safety of maritime traffic in the region.
