TheCabinet of Yemen orYemeni Government orYemenite Government is the governing body of the internationally recognized government of theRepublic of Yemen, led by its presidentRashad al-Alimi, who is also the chairman of thePresidential Leadership Council (PLC), the governing body of the Republic of Yemen.^[1]

In 2012, after Saleh stepped down as a result of theYemeni Revolution, part of the widerArab Spring protests, in a political transition plan backed by Gulf states, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi became the interim president and oversaw a national dialogue to draft a more inclusive, federal constitution. In 2014 the Houthis rapidly advanced south from Saada and seizeSanaa on 21 September with help from Saleh. In 2015, Hadi tried to announce a new federal constitution. The Houthis, who opposed the constitution, arrested him and forced him to resign. He escaped to Aden and declared it as the interim capital. He also asked the international community to intervene, triggering the Saudi led Arab military coalition intervention.^[2] Some analysts considered the Hadi-led government to be asatellite regime ofSaudi Arabia and theUAE.^[3][4][5][6]

As part of theYemeni civil war, the cabinet authority is contested by theHouthis, who took over the capitalSanaa in anarmed rebellion against the government and formed theSupreme Revolutionary Committee andSupreme Political Council in 2015. President Hadi was placed under house arrest, but managed to escape to his hometown ofAden, which he declared as the temporary capital, before moving toRiyadh, earning his government the disparaging nickname of the "hotel government".^[7][8] TheUnited Nation Security Council resolution2201 denounced the actions of Houthis. UN security council'sresolution 2216 declared that it considers the Hadi-led government as the "legitimate Government of Yemen" and denounced what it described as the "unilateral actions taken by the Houthis".

Mansur Hadi resigned on 7 April 2022, after transferring his presidential powers to the eight-memberPresidential Leadership Council (PLC). PLC officially assumed power on 17 April 2022. The PLC's chairman,Rashad al-Alimi, subsequently became the president of the Republic of Yemen.^[9]

On 10 August 2024,Ahmed al-Rahawi was appointed as prime minister of Yemen and tasked with forming a ministry known as the 'Government of Change and Construction' by the President of the Supreme Political CouncilMahdi al-Mashat.^[11] Two days later the composition of the new government was announced in a presidential resolution.^[12] On August 18, 2024 theHouse of Representatives (San'aa) gaveconfidence to the government and called on it to follow a 36-point 'general program' prepared by a house of representatives special committee.^[13] The government and SPC continues to be internationally unrecognised in comparison with thePresidential Leadership Council (PLC).^[14]
