Yemen's PLC Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi called on Arab leaders at the Algiers Summit to designate the Houthis as a "terrorist organization."

"We call on you, Arab brothers, to designate the Houthis as a terrorist organization, as we did earlier," Al-Alimi said during a speech on the second day of the summit.

He added, "The Houthis have 500,000 Yemenis and planted millions of mines. They have also evaded the terms of the UN truce by refusing to renew it."

Al-Alimi said the Houthis targeted oil ports in Hadramout and Shabwa, South Yemen, to plunge the country "into an economic and humanitarian crisis."

Al-Alimi called for "joint Arab action to confront the Houthi project in Yemen." He said that "more than 80% of Yemenis are in need for humanitarian aid because of the Houthis."

Al-Alimi called on the Arab countries to support the PLC to confront Iranian interference in Yemen, and to stop the flow of arms shipments and military expertise to the Houthis.

In the final declaration of the 31st Arab League Summit, in Algeria, Arab leaders stressed the need to renew the UN truce in Yemen.
