Attempts to Weaken Gulf Solidarity Spirit

Since the outbreak of fighting in Yemen, efforts to undermine the morale of the Arab Coalition forces have not subsided, marked by growing doubts about the solidarity of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and the Sultanate of Oman.

These voices are well known for their public ties to Iran and their not-so-hidden connections with their “Houthi,” “Daesh,” “Al-Qaeda,” and other sectarian militia arms.

Even if we assume there are fractures within the “Arab Coalition” against the Houthis, it is unacceptable to deepen these divisions, which benefit an enemy that is supposedly shared. However, the covert messaging, which its proponents believe goes unnoticed, cannot be misinterpreted or viewed with suspicion regarding those behind it.

Indeed, the hostility of scattered “Muslim Brotherhood” groups toward the UAE, and their sowing of discord in Gulf and Arab relations at a moment of confrontation, is clearly in the Houthis’ favor. This is futile given their overt hostility toward the Houthis, despite a history of close ties with their Iranian handlers.

However, Gulf relations are governed by leaders with a deep understanding of politics, enabling them to delve into the machinations of these instigators and prevent them from exploiting the Yemeni conflict. Because the “Gulf Cooperation Council” and the Arab world are driven by the preservation of Arab state cohesion against fragmentation, which can only be prevented by faith in the doctrine of Arab national security.

This belief underpinned the integrity of the Syrian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Sudanese, Tunisian, Libyan, and Yemeni territories. To a large extent, the new Zionist Middle East project, which sees “Tel Aviv” (named after Tel Aviv, the capital of Zionist decision-making) as capable of ensuring lasting peace based on the complete submission of the region’s peoples, has failed.

The visit of the Saudi Minister of Defense to Abu Dhabi, following the exposure of many hidden “Brotherhood” affiliations, undoubtedly demonstrates that leaders remain distinct in their high level of understanding compared to the general public, who are exploited by the “Brotherhood,” an overt ally of Tehran. Tehran itself knows how to exploit this group, placing it at its service without allowing it to exploit the Iranians, who use these arms for their own purposes.

Yemen will calm after its turbulence, and perhaps it will indeed be happier, as it needed such storms to sweep through it, and because it is on a serious healing journey to shake off the dust of the divisions it has long suffered from.

Yemen has awakened to the importance of the state, which its components had neglected. There are Yemenis emerging from the crisis, more convinced of the principle of Arab national security, given its importance for the future of their coming generations.
