Media Analysis

International, Arab, and local media covered the Yemeni file in all its political, humanitarian, military, economic, etc. aspects. The political media covered the Yemeni Ansarullah group (Houthis) announcing the members of a new government, consisting of 22 ministers headed by Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi, replacing Abdulaziz bin Habtoor. The US Treasury Department announced on Thursday the imposition of sanctions against trade networks belonging to the Yemeni Ansar Allah group. As for the humanitarian aspect, it witnessed widespread coverage due to the worsening humanitarian crisis, as the Famine Early Warning Systems Network estimated that Yemen will remain at the top of the list of countries most in need of humanitarian aid until February 2025, in light of food insecurity. The military aspect also witnessed broader media coverage than in previous weeks, as the military media covered the leader of the Ansar Allah group, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, announcing on Thursday that they had carried out operations with 15 missiles and a drone against ships linked to the United States and Israel during the past week.
