Following the FTO designation, the President must then determine, within another 30 days, whether three specific individuals—Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim—are officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah. The legislation's overarching goal is to impose sanctions on the group and its leadership due to their involvement in acts of international terrorism.
