Mohammed al-Houthi, the head of the Houthi Supreme Council in Yemen, has promised to continue attacks on Israel in support of Gaza and called on the UN Security Council to take action against what he called US and Israeli “terrorism”, Al Jazeera reports.

The statement on X came as the Security Council met in New York to discuss the Israel-Houthi conflict.

“We affirm that respect for international law begins with the implementation of Security Council resolutions regarding Palestine,” al-Houthi wrote.

“We confirm that any talk that does not include stopping the aggression on Gaza and Yemen is nonsense and chatter,” he was quoted as saying.
