The Head of the Presidential Leadership Council in Yemen, Rashad al-Alimi, replaced four ministers in the internationally recognized cabinet, including defense and energy ministers.

Alimi appointed Lieutenant-General Mohsen al-Daeri as defense minister and Said al-Shamasi as energy minister. He also named new ministers for the power and public works portfolios.

Manea Saleh was named minister of power, and Salim Mohammed was named minister of public works.

The official Saba news agency stated that the dismissed Minister of Defense, Lieutenant-General Mohammad al-Maqdashi, was appointed the chairman’s advisor for defense and security affairs.

This is the first cabinet reshuffle in the government chaired by Maeen Abdulmalik, and the defense minister, who has been in office for years, is being replaced for the first time.

The decision comes about 100 days after the formation of the Yemeni Presidential Council, which received broad international support. It also comes amid optimistic Yemeni expectations regarding the extension of the UN armistice, which expires on August 02.

Germany Calls on its Citizens to Leave Lebanon Immediately

Germany on Wednesday urged its citizens to leave Lebanon as soon as possible due to the risk of escalating violence between Israel and Hezbollah.
Israel and Hezbollah have traded near-daily cross-border fire since the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel sparked the war in the Gaza Strip.
Tensions have been rising in recent days with growing exchanges of fire.
On Wednesday, Berlin's foreign ministry updated its travel guidance for the country, saying: “German nationals are urgently requested to leave Lebanon.”
“The current heightened tensions in the border area with Israel could escalate further at any time,” the ministry said.
There is also an “increased risk of terrorist attacks” in Lebanon, which could be directed against Western foreigners or large hotels, it said.
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock cautioned on Tuesday that “miscalculation” could trigger an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah, urging the need for “extreme restraint” as tensions soar.
“With every rocket across the Blue Line between Lebanon and Israel, the danger grows that a miscalculation could trigger a hot war,” Baerbock said on X during a visit to Beirut, referring to the demarcation line between Israel and Lebanon.
