Houthi Leaders Travel to Beirut Following Nasrallah's Death, Sparking Calls for Arrest

Following the death of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, leaders from the Iran-backed Houthi movement in Yemen have traveled to Beirut. Yemeni Information Minister Muammar Al-Eryani, citing the official Yemeni news agency Saba, stated on February 19, 2025, that the Houthi leaders' presence in Beirut is part of a larger effort to regroup Iranian-backed factions.
Al-Eryani called on the Lebanese government to arrest the Houthi leaders including the United States, and extradite them to Yemen. He further warned the international community that inaction against the Houthis would lead to increased terrorist activity and urged decisive action against the group. The purpose of the Houthi leaders' visit and the Lebanese government's response remain unclear. This is a developing story.
