S 70 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to require the imposition of sanctions with respect to Ansarallah and its officials, agents, or affiliates for acts of international terrorism.

S 70 requires the President to designate Ansarallah (the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days of the bill’s enactment. It then mandates a subsequent 30-day determination on whether specific individuals - Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim - are officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah. If confirmed, these individuals would face U.S. sanctions under existing law. The bill directly targets Ansarallah and its designated leaders for actions linked to international terrorism.
