Just like what happened with ISIS...an international coalition against Al-Houthi

The International Coalition against ISIS is a global coalition formed in September 2014, led by the United States, and currently includes more than 80 countries and international organizations, such as the European Union and the Arab League, to combat and eliminate the organization permanently in Iraq, Syria, and various parts of the world.

This was during ISIS's control over parts of eastern Syria and western Iraq, and now the ISIS state has collapsed on the actual ground level, and it has turned to digital basements or hidden pockets on the ground. We compare between ISIS and the Houthis:

ISIS did not possess the ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, or maritime capabilities with which to frighten world trade in Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea. More importantly, ISIS did not have overt regional support from a large country like Iran, and ISIS had no one to defend it - under any slogan - in the global media or in civil and human rights institutions.

Yesterday, in a phone call between the head of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad Al-Alimi, with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, Al-Alimi called for support for international action to classify the Houthi militia as a terrorist organization, according to the “Saba” news agency.

Al-Alimi called for action through the Security Council to ensure the implementation of the arms embargo to the Houthi militia, dry up their sources of funding, and hold accountable those who support them and those responsible for the violations attributed to them.

During the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Baghdad on October 17, Yemen also called for classifying the Houthis as a terrorist organization, drying up their sources of funding, and stopping the flow of weapons and military expertise to them.

The Ministerial Council of the Gulf Cooperation Council, in its statement issued on October 18, called for classifying the Houthi group as a terrorist organization, and for emphasizing the implementation of the arms embargo imposed on it under Security Council resolutions, including Resolution 2216 issued in 2015.

In 2022, the Security Council included the Houthis within the sanctions regime for Yemen, subjecting them to arms embargo measures, while the new Yemeni move aims to obtain international support to classify the group as a terrorist organization.

Now, what is preventing the formation of a coalition of those who wish, from countries around the world and international organizations, to classify the Houthis as a terrorist group, and what is more important is to act on this basis, and not just to classify and make peace?

If America, the West, and many countries are sincere in considering Al-Houthi a threat, sincere in solidarity with Yemen and Saudi Arabia, sincere in their concern for freedom of trade and navigation in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and sincere in rejecting Houthi terrorist practices (the Houthi is detaining about 70 United Nations employees), then why does not all of this translate into:

An international coalition against the Houthis, which includes a military force, legal access, a media campaign, and an economic strike... Is this possible?!
