Member of Yemen’s Supreme Political Council, Abdulaziz Saleh bin Habtoor, has said that the tragic events unfolding in the country’s southern and eastern provinces are part of an “old–new plot” engineered by the countries of the aggression, led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
In remarks to UNews Agency on Monday, bin Habtoor pointed to information indicating direct coordination between the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) and the Israeli entity. He cited public statements by Israeli War Minister Israel Katz as reflecting this direction, warning that they signal a “dangerous indicator” of attempts to establish the first official foothold for the Israeli enemy in Aden, amid Emirati moves he said serve global Zionist interests in the region.
Bin Habtoor argued that any party aligning itself with the Emirati agenda is, in effect, serving the Zionist project. He cautioned against what he termed “emotional illusions” portraying developments in the south as an “independence project,” stressing that such claims are a falsehood promoted by Zionist ideologues and their agents in the region.
He further asserted that current developments constitute a direct continuation of the Saudi-Emirati aggression against Yemen, holding accountable all those who participate in or support this course, and warning that they will face “a difficult reckoning” in the days ahead.
