Following the assassination of Al-Rahwi, the Supreme Political Council in Sanaa affiliated with the Houthis announced that the administration of institutions will continue, appointing Mohammed Ahmed Miftah as acting head of government.

On Monday morning, the Houthi group mourned the bodies of the Prime Minister of the Sanaa government affiliated with “Ansar Allah,” Ahmed Ghalib Nasser Al-Rahwi, along with several other ministers, at Al-Shaab Mosque in the capital, Sanaa.

The funeral prayer was held in the presence of Houthi officials and social and religious figures, amid tight security measures, and the funeral ceremony was broadcast live on Al-Masirah TV, the official channel of the group.

Attendees inside the mosque, where the funeral prayer was held, chanted slogans condemning Israel and the United States, amid scenes of grief and mourning for the deceased officials.

The funeral came days after the killing of Al-Rahwi and other ministers in an Israeli airstrike targeting a government meeting in a building in Sanaa, according to the group.

A government source confirmed the strike occurred during a “routine workshop” held to evaluate the performance of government institutions over the past period, without disclosing further details about the location or the number of casualties.

After the assassination of Al-Rahwi, the Supreme Political Council in Sanaa affiliated with the Houthis announced that the administration of institutions would continue, appointing Mohammed Ahmed Miftah as acting head of government.

On Monday morning, the appointed head of government Mohammed Miftah said, “The assassination of Prime Minister Ahmed Ghalib Al-Rahwi and several ministers will not succeed in shaking the foundations of the Yemeni state; instead, the blood of the martyrs will fuel more determination and work to confront the failed aggression plan,” according to his statement.

Al-Rahwi was announced as prime minister of the government run by the group, succeeding Abdul Aziz bin Habtour, in a move the group described as “renewing government work.”
