"The Houthis have been accused of expelling or restricting some members of the ancient and impoverished rural  Jews of Yemen. There have been also reports about supporters of the Houthis bullying or attacking the members of the Yemeni Jewish community. [86] [87]  Houthi officials, however, have denied any involvement in the harassment, asserting that under Houthi control Jews in Yemen would be able to live and operate freely as any other Yemeni citizen. "Our problems are with Zionism and the occupation of Palestine, but Jews here have nothing to fear," said Fadl Abu Taleb, a spokesman for the Houthis. But despite insistence by Houthi leaders that the movement is not sectarian, a Yemeni Jewish rabbi has reportedly said that many Jews remain terrified by the movement’s slogan. [87]  As a result, Yemeni Jews reportedly retain a negative sentiment towards the Houthis, who committed persecutions against them. [5]  According to  Ayoub Kara, Houthi militants had given an ultimatum telling Jews to "convert to Islam or leave Yemen".
