Houthis are responsible for disrupting global shipping to display their support for Palestinians in the Gaza conflict.

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi militia has offered another shot at education to the students suspended from U.S. universities after staging anti-Israel protests.

Houthis are responsible for disrupting global shipping to display their support for Palestinians in the Gaza conflict.

According to Reuters, an official at Sanaa University, which is run by the Houthis said, the school is serious about welcoming the suspended students.

"We are serious about welcoming students that have been suspended from U.S. universities for supporting Palestinians," the official said.

"We are fighting this battle with Palestine in every way we can.”

 

Students have held protests or set up tents at dozens of campuses in the United States for days over Israel’s war in Gaza.

Many of the schools, including Ivy League Columbia University in New York City, have called in police to quell the protests.

This has led to hundreds of arrests and suspension of many students.

Sanaa University in a statement applauded the "humanitarian" position of the students in the United States and said they could continue their studies in Yemen.

 

"The board of the university condemns what academics and students of U.S. and European universities are being subjected to, suppression of freedom of expression," the board of the university said in a statement, which included an email address for any students wanting to take up their offer.

 

The U.S. and Britain returned the Houthi militia to a list of terrorist groups this year as their attacks on vessels in and around the Red Sea hurt global economies.
