International controversy is escalating following the assassination of the Prime Minister of the Sanaa-based government, Ahmed Ghaleb Nasser Al-Rahwi, in an Israeli airstrike on August 28, 2025. The Spanish organization Caos en la Red has labeled the operation a “war crime” and described it as a “dangerous turning point” in the regional conflict.
In a report published on its website on Tuesday, the organization stressed that the attack, which Israel publicly claimed responsibility for, constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and raises the risk of a full-scale war in the Middle East.
The organization described Al-Rahwi as a “symbol of Yemeni resistance,” affirming that his assassination has strengthened the resolve of Yemeni forces and prompted the Sanaa government to adopt an immediate deterrent stance.
It also warned that the current escalation—particularly with threats issued by the head of the Supreme Political Council, Mahdi Al-Mashat—could lead to a series of large-scale retaliatory attacks, significantly increasing the risk of a wider regional explosion.
The report criticized what it called the “complicit silence” of the United Nations and the international community, considering it an implicit encouragement for continued violations. It called for urgent action to halt the deterioration of the situation.
The organization concluded by stating that with this assassination, Israel “not only violated international law but also challenged the will of the Yemeni people and will bear the consequences.” It emphasized that this crime will not deter Yemen from continuing its resistance and defending its sovereignty.
