<p>Mohammed al-Farah, a member of the Political Bureau of Yemen\u2019s Ansar
Allah movement, commented on the recent UN Security Council decision to
extend sanctions on Yemen, stating that Yemen would respond in kind to
anyone who attacks its people\u2019s interests or <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sayyed-al-houthi--yemen-on-alert-as-gaza-ceasefire-takes-eff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempts to undermine its sovereignty</a>.</p>
<p>He emphasized, in this context, that Yemenis will not hesitate to
defend their rights, religion, and national dignity by all legitimate
means.</p>
<p>In a post on X, al-Farah accused the Security Council of perpetuating
\u201cthe worst example of double standards,\u201d noting that it has <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yaf-chief-to-al-qassam--we-will-stand-by-you-no-matter-the-s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">long turned a blind eye</a>
to crimes of genocide in Gaza, even supporting "Israel" while ignoring
the bloodshed, and covering up the blockade and aggression against Yemen
without any moral or legal stance.</p>
<p>He continued, saying the council \u201ccontinues to apply double standards
while Gaza is being devastated under two years of bombing and blockade
with US and Western weapons," reminding how "<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/aggression-will-not-pass-without-consequences--top-yemeni-of" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yemen has been under siege</a> for a decade.\u201d</p>
<p>Al-Farah described the council as a platform for advancing Western
interests, where \u201chuman rights are defined only as Western human rights
and international interests are reduced to those of Washington alone.\u201d</p>
<h2>NGOs; culprits in espionage operations in Yemen</h2>
<p>The Ansar Allah official also warned that some <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemen-busts-cia-mossad-saudi-spy-network-operating-from-saud" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NGOs operating in Yemen</a>
have engaged in \u201cdangerous practices\u201d, including espionage on behalf of
"Israel" under the guise of humanitarian work, exposing what he called
the extent of "<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us---israel--employing-ngos-in-espionage-operations--sayyed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zionist exploitation of UN institutions</a>."</p>
<p>Al-Farah, however, praised Russia and China for refusing to renew
sanctions on Yemen, contrasting their stance with what he described as
the <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/ansar-allah-detain-3-un-staff-as-spies-for--israel---us" target="_blank" rel="noopener">\u201cmoral failure\u201d of the UN Security Council</a>.
He said Moscow and Beijing\u2019s positions reflect a \u201chumanitarian and
ethical awakening\u201d and awareness of the dangers of US policies that use
sanctions to subjugate nations.</p>
<p>At the same time, he expressed hope that Russia and China\u2019s position
would amount to a definitive rejection and veto of the resolution,
describing it as a stand that \u201crejects the exploitation of the Security
Council and restores some balance against Western dominance.\u201d</p>
<h2>Sanctions on Yemen are merely tools for Israeli objectives</h2>
<p>Al-Farah also criticized the West and the United States for <a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/red-sea-blockade-to-continue--support-for-gaza-ceaseless--al" target="_blank" rel="noopener">openly supporting "Israel" with weapons</a>
and financial aid while shielding it politically, arguing that the
proposed sanctions on Yemen are merely \u201ctools to serve Zionist
objectives and punish the Yemeni people for their resilience,
independent decision-making, and solidarity with Gaza.\u201d</p>
<p>He concluded by reaffirming Yemen\u2019s steadfast support for Gaza and
for oppressed communities across the region, pledging to continue
opposing Western and US hegemony over the countries and peoples of the
region without hesitation.</p>
<h2>UNSC extends sanctions on Yemen</h2>
<p>On November 14, the UN Security Council approved a resolution
extending financial sanctions and a travel ban on Yemen for another
year, until November 14, 2026, while also extending the mandate of the
panel of experts supporting the sanctions committee until December 15,
2026.</p>
<p>The resolution, adopted by a 13-member majority with Russia and China
abstaining, renews Yemen\u2019s international sanctions under Resolution
2140 for an additional year. It maintains frozen assets and travel
restrictions on designated individuals and entities and extends the
mandate of the expert panel overseeing Yemen sanctions until
mid-December 2026.</p>
<p>The Security Council imposes these sanctions on Yemen under US
pressure and under the cover of Chapter VII of the UN Charter, through
Resolutions 2140 (2014) and 2216 (2015).</p>
<p>The UN Security Council first imposed sanctions on Yemen in 2014
through Resolution 2140, targeting individuals and entities linked to
destabilizing activities during the country\u2019s ongoing conflict.</p>
<p>These measures included asset freezes and travel bans aimed at those
accused of threatening Yemen\u2019s stability or obstructing peace efforts.</p>
<p>In 2015, Resolution 2216 expanded the sanctions framework, further
restricting financial and travel activities of key figures aligned with
armed groups and reinforcing the Council\u2019s oversight through a dedicated
panel of experts.</p></div></div></div>
