SUBJECT: UPDATE ON YEMENI JEWISH FAMILIES
1. (SBU) Post is maintaining close watch on the condition of
the 45 Yemeni Jews who left their homes in the Saada
governorate after receiving a threatening letter on January
18. Press reports on February 4 claiming that the families
had been returned to their homes were false. The Jewish
family's spokesperson was unavailable for comment; however,
according to post's government and non-governmental contacts,
including a Jewish community leader from Reyda, the families,
who were originally housed at a hotel in Saada City by the
ROYG, have been moved to government-provided housing in Saada
City.
2. (SBU) The ROYG has consistently been caring for the
group, ensuring their safety and well-being. It is not
likely though, considering the escalation of violence in
Saada between the ROYG and the al-Houthis, that the families
will be returned to their homes in the near future, as had
been previously anticipated. Post will continue to submit
updates as the situation evolves.
