Rashad al-Alimi stated that the military action was necessary because the Yemeni government had exhausted all opportunities for de-escalation with the Houthi militias.

The operation involves the internationally recognized Yemeni government forces, which are backed by Saudi Arabia. Tens of thousands of ground troops loyal to the Yemeni government are participating in the counteroffensive.

These include accepting an endorsement from a pro-Israel group (which resulted in a DSA censure), backing Jim McDonnell for LAPD chief over the group's objections, and seeking changes to the voter-approved mansion tax that housing activists opposed.
