The United Nations Security Council was scheduled to hold an emergency session on Monday to discuss the escalating attacks on Israel by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, Hebrew media reported on Wednesday.

The meeting comes after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar sent a letter to the president of the UNSC on Tuesday requesting that U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield convene the meeting.

In an X post including images of the letter, Sa’ar wrote that the purpose of the session was “to condemn the Houthis’ attacks and Iran’s ongoing support for them.”
