He stressed that Yemen\u2019s crisis requires a political solution.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the European Parliament has adopted a motion urging the European Union to designate the Houthi movement as a terrorist organisation. The motion calls for the group\u2019s political and military wings, leadership and security structures to be included on the list, and for its financial resources and the funds and assets of those supporting it to be frozen.<\/p>\n<p>Yemen\u2019s Foreign Ministry welcomed the motion, describing it as an important step toward protecting civilians, promoting regional stability and ensuring safe passage through international waterways.<\/p>\n<p>The European Parliament\u2019s motion said Houthi attacks had increased civilian deaths and displacement in Yemen and worsened the humanitarian crisis. It also condemned missile and unmanned-aircraft attacks against Israel and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>Iraq also condemned the attacks on Saudi Arabia and said its territory must not be used by any party to launch attacks. According to the Saudi Foreign Ministry, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein conveyed the condemnation during a phone call with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, citing damage to civilians and public infrastructure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27884\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Newsroom United Nations Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres has condemned Houthi attacks targeting civilians in Saudi Arabia, calling them unacceptable.
