Arab Sea - Yemen - Follow-ups: The Houthi group has set the date for the funeral of the head of its unrecognized government, Ahmed Ghaleb Al-Rahwi, and the ministers who were killed in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a meeting of theirs four days ago in the south of the capital, Sana'a. The Houthi news agency Saba reported, on Sunday, from what is called the "Events Organizing Committee" affiliated with the group, that the funeral of Al-Rahwi and a number of his fellow ministers will take place at nine o'clock on Monday morning. The committee called for "wide official and popular" participation in the funeral ceremonies, which will be held in Al-Sabeen Square in the capital, Sana'a. Despite the group setting a date for the funeral of the head and some members of its government, it is still concealing the names of the ministers who were killed in the recent Israeli airstrike, contenting itself in its official speeches with saying "Al-Rahwi and his fellow ministers." It is noteworthy that the group did not announce mourning for the killing of the head of its government and, perhaps, most of the government ministers, as it had done previously after the killing of each of the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, and the Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi.
