Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen has threatened to assassinate Yemeni Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi as regional tensions escalate over Israel’s military offensive in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports according to local media.
“I’m sending a message to the Houthi leader that if he continues with his actions, he will end up exactly like [Hamas leader Yahya] Sinwar and [Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan] Nasrallah,” Cohen told Israeli radio station 94 FM.
“Our focus now is on Yemen and Iran,” Cohen said. “It should be said that unless Iran is harmed, instability in the Middle East will continue.”
