Houthi Leader Exposes UAE’s Sinister Role in Serving Israeli Interests Amid Yemeni Attacks
Watan-A leader in the Houthi Ansar Allah group in Yemen exposed the sinister role of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in serving Israeli occupation in response to the Yemeni group’s attacks on Israeli ships or those affiliated with Israel due to the war on Gaza.
Fadl Abu Talib, the Secretary-General of the Political Bureau of the Houthi Ansar Allah group, stated that the UAE, through its mercenaries in Yemen, is making arrangements to target commercial ships not heading to the Israeli entity.
He wrote in a post on his “X” account: “With the aim of confusing matters and providing justifications for the Americans to militarize the Red Sea, the UAE, through its mercenaries in Yemen, is making arrangements to target commercial ships not heading to the Zionist entity.”
He added, “We say to the UAE that its despicable approach is exposed and clear. Our operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea have specific objectives and are clearly defined.”
The revelation by the Houthi leader coincided with the announcement by Omani authorities that they had seized a shipment of drones at the Hafeet border crossing, coming from the UAE and destined for Yemen.
Oman Customs said in an official statement on its “X” account, accompanied by a video documenting the seizure of these drones en route to Yemen: “The General Administration of Customs managed to seize a truck at the Hafeet crossing loaded with unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) coming through the transit system from the United Arab Emirates, heading to the Republic of Yemen.”

The statement added: “Customs inspectors managed to discover the shipments, which were professionally concealed in specially prepared places for smuggling in the truck. The relevant authorities have initiated an investigation into the case to complete the remaining legal procedures against the suspects.”
The UAE has been considering joining the U.S.-led maritime coalition in the Red Sea “if Washington approves a very significant strike against Sanaa.”
