SANA’A (Kayhan Intl.) – According to an article in Israel Today, the UAE-backed Yemeni separatist so-called Southern Transitional Council (STC) are "secret friends” with the Zionist regime and that a new ‘state’ in the Middle East had been declared behind closed doors, referring to the STC-held territory which includes the interim capital of Aden and more recently the seizure of the Socotra island from the Saudi-backed former Yemeni regime.
The piece, which suggests the Port of Aden "casts a friendly eye” on the Zionist regime, cites a recent press conference held by the STC which expressed a positive attitude towards the regime, although the issue of diplomatic relations are yet to be discussed.
Hani Bin Briek, the vice-chairman of the STC, tweeted that "relations between Israel and Qatar are very good” and also recounted former Zionist President Shimon Peres’ visit to Doha and current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to Oman. "Arabs and Israelis agree on a two-state solution, and Arab countries normalizing relations with Israel.”
The stance on normalizing ties with the occupying regime follows current trends among Persian Gulf states, including the STC’s patron, the UAE.
The report also states that many Zionists reacted positively and welcomed the developments of a "new autonomous state in Yemen”, with sources telling Israel Today that the occupying regime has been conducting secret meetings with the STC.
Meanwhile, on Friday, leader of the Houthi movement, warned Saudi Arabia and the UAE against normalization with the Zionist regime. "Saudi Arabia and the UAE are siding with Israel, which is the chief enemy of the Muslim world,” Abdul-Malik Al-Houthi said in a televised speech broadcast live from the Yemeni capital Sana’a. The Houthi leader has previously stressed that Yemen stands with the Palestinians against the Zionist regime’s occupation.
The Emirati-backed group, which is led by former Aden governor Aidrus Al-Zoubaidi, announced in April its autonomy, although this has been rejected by the former Yemeni regime.
STC militants staged "a full-fledged coup” in the strategic island of Socotra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
"The militias of the so-called Transitional Council in the Socotra carried out a full-fledged coup that undermined state institutions in the province,” Yemen’s official news agency reported, quoting an unnamed former regime official on Sunday.
By the end of Saturday, the separatist group had taken control of most of the remote province from forces of Yemen’s former regime headed by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
"These militias launched an attack with various medium and heavy weapons, targeting state institutions and citizens’ properties, and stormed camps and headquarters as well,” the official said.
