BEIRUT — Hezbollah condemned the U.N. Security Council decision to impose an arms embargo on Yemen’s Houthis Thursday, comparing the Saudi-led military campaign to the Israeli wars on Gaza.

“What Saudi Arabia is committing [in Yemen] is identical to what Israel commits in Gaza,” Hezbollah deputy chief Naim Qassem told France 24 in an interview Thursday. “It is about attacking infrastructure and shelling civilians.”

The Security Council resolution adopted Wednesday imposes an arms embargo on the Houthi rebels and calls on them to withdraw from areas they had seized, including the capital Sanaa.

It was adopted after 14 countries voted yes with one abstention from Russia, which said the embargo should target the whole country.

“The Security Council decision in Yemen is unjust, because it looks at one part of the problem, and not at the whole [picture],” Qassem said. “The Security Council should have stopped the Saudi aggression against Yemen and treated the issues related to the civilians and wounded and destruction of infrastructure.”

The conflict in Yemen has pitted Lebanese politicians against each other along sectarian lines.

Ahmad Hariri, the secretary-general of the Future Movement, launched a scathing attack against Hezbollah and Iran over their interference in Yemen, accusing the Islamic Republic of committing crimes in the Arab world.

“It is strange that Hezbollah allows itself to fight and commit the most dangerous acts away from Lebanon’s interests and national consensus and wants others to remain silent on Iranian crimes in Arab states,” he said Thursday.
