‘Al-Bukhaiti’ reveals dangerous Emirati military plot in Yemen under US-Israeli supervision

SANAA, Nov. 04 (YPA) – Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, a member of the Political Bureau of Ansarullah in Sanaa on Monday disclosed a serious military plot supervised by American and Israeli officers to train armed Salafist groups loyal to the UAE. The goal is reportedly to ignite internal fighting and warfare in Yemen against Sanaa (Houthi-controlled areas).

Al-Bukhaiti stated in a post on his X (formerly Twitter) page, “No one could have imagined that a day would come when American and Israeli officers would be directly supervising the training, qualification, and guidance of Salafist groups to fight inside Yemen, serving American interests and protecting the Zionist entity.”

He attached his post with a “dangerous video report” documenting the escalation of foreign military activity in the southern and eastern Yemeni governorates in recent weeks. Al-Bukhaiti stressed that the current situation transcends mere military support and has reached the stage of “direct occupation” under the guise of training and security coordination.

According to the report, since the beginning of last October, the arrival of personnel and officers from the US, Colombia, and “Israel” to Yemeni territories has been monitored. They conducted field visits that included extensive assessments of UAE-backed formations, notably the “Al-Amaliqa”  Brigades and “Shabwa Defense Forces.”

A joint military committee, including US and Colombian officers under the direct supervision of Israeli experts, held individual meetings with local leaders. They posed questions related to ideological and political affiliations, an alleged attempt to restructure loyalties within these factions to align with US and Israeli agendas.

The committee’s activity extended to Lahj governorate, where it was spotted inside the camps of the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC) amid a tight security cordon imposed by the Presidential “Al-Asifa” forces.

A noticeable presence of foreign elements was observed on the west coast between Mocha and Khokha (areas controlled by UAE-backed forces led by Tareq Afash), involving security companies, most prominently the notorious “Blackwater”, known for committing war crimes.

Field reports have also confirmed the transfer of foreign elements to ‘Zuqar’ Island, near Bab al-Mandab strait. Recent satellite images showed construction work for a 2,000-meter runway. An Emirati cargo ship docked at the island for several days in mid-October, fueling suspicions of a joint US-Israeli-Emirati military project there.

The Israeli presence in south Yemen has become “blatant and declared.” Following a visit by an Israeli delegation in mid-July, a new Israeli team reportedly returned to ‘Morra’ camp in Shabwa for a field assessment, allegedly preparing for the establishment of small-scale Israeli military bases inside Yemen.

Concurrently, the British ‘Sky News’ revealed moves led by the UAE to link pro-Israeli Palestinian factions with its forces in Yemen. This coincides with the appointment of the US Ambassador to Yemen, Stephen Fagin, as the civilian commander of the military coordination center, following his participation in a conference held at a US base in Kiryat Gat (Occupied Palestinian Territories) on October 21.

These rapidly unfolding developments confirm Al-Bukhaiti’s warning, that Yemen is now facing a dangerous project led by the UAE with American planning, Gulf funding, and direct Israeli supervision. The goal is to dismantle Yemen and transform it into a sphere of military influence that serves the interests of Washington and ‘Tel Aviv’ in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.
