There have been many conversations among Yemenis over the opening of the UAE channels of communication and understandings with the Houthi group, in conjunction with the visit of an Emirati delegation to Tehran and meet with Iranian officials to discuss security cooperation in the border and protect navigation in the waters of the Gulf.

The talks were preceded by statements by Naim Qassem, deputy secretary-general of the Lebanese Hezbollah, in which he revealed the existence of indirect contacts and coordination between the Huthis and the UAE, especially with regard to the withdrawal from Hodeidah. He said that there is intelligence cooperation and periodic meetings with the Iranian side as well.

In another statement, the director of the office of Iranian President Mahmoud al-Wazi said last Wednesday that Abu Dhabi is in the process of reconsidering its policies hardened by the war in Yemen and changed its military position, and said it is trying to differentiate from Saudi Arabia to take a different position with regard to Yemen.

The truth of understandings
In search of the nature of the rapprochement between the Huthis and the Emirates, Al-Jazeera Net continued with three prominent leaders of the Houthi Political Bureau and asked them about their position on the matter and the accuracy of the information being circulated.

"It is open to all countries, including Saudi Arabia, and with regard to the existence of contacts between them and the UAE," al-Bekhiti said. "This is not something I deny or confirm."

Al-Bukhaiti said in a telephone conversation with Al-Jazeera Net that no one is expected to meet with the Houthi government of Sana'a - any positive step by the UAE with a negative attitude, whether to change its attitude towards Yemen or even towards Iran, but that does not mean betting on awakening. The conscience of the Emirates according to Al-Bukhiti.

In the same direction, the leader of the group Ali al-Qahum, who is also a member of the Supreme Political Council of the Houthis, said that the countries of aggression - namely Saudi Arabia and the UAE - reached the stage of failure, confusion and helplessness and its war on Yemen has no horizon and long-term and suffered great losses. In a state of disintegration and fragmentation.

Al-Qahtani stressed that there is a review of the calculations and understanding of the need for dialogue and return to the table as a better and better option, after those countries realized that the solution in Yemen lies in dialogue and understanding and sitting at a common table.

According to al-Qaht, this is due to the steadfastness of the Yemeni people, adding that the continuation of the UAE and Saudi Arabia in the aggression is a state of perseverance, arrogance and lack of recognition of the bitter reality that emerged after five years of war.

But the member of the Supreme Political Bureau of the Al-Houthi group believes that the UAE is still an aggressive role and is still within the coalition system, and leads the scene of direct and indirect occupation in the southern and eastern regions of Yemen, and recently trying to hide behind the tools that recruited by the service of its subversive and deconstructionist agendas.

In response to a question on Al Jazeera Net about the nature of the understandings with the UAE, which is being talked about, Al-Assad told Al-Jazeera Net, "The UAE is the one who launched the aggression on Yemen and announced it from Washington. If you decide to stop the aggression and lift the siege and enter the negotiating process seriously, Confirmation and the same for Saudi Arabia. "

As for the recent Huthi attacks on an Emirates-backed camp in Aden, Assad said it was a message to the UAE that if you thought about future escalation in the West Coast or any other region, the response would be painful and deadly.

Dumping Saudi Arabia
Al-Jazeera Net spoke with Yemeni researcher Adel Al-Masni, who said that "the facts on the ground confirm that the mission of the UAE was to save the coup, and that this is not surprising and is consistent with its objectives. Clear and supportive of coups in the region. "

Al-Masni added that the UAE has turned the storm into a mere whirlwind that has brought many criticisms and troubles to Saudi Arabia, which has been linked to the violations, mistakes and humanitarian crisis suffered by Yemenis.

On the other hand, the UAE's role in Yemen was linked to two things. The first is to drain the kingdom and sink it into a war without a horizon and to strengthen the influence of the coup by weakening the legitimate government. The second is through the opening of safe crossings to smuggle arms to the Houthis. The legitimate authorities, according to him.

According to the same spokesman, the hostile strategic motives of all these practices by the UAE are related to competition with the Kingdom for leadership and influence in the region, where the UAE believes that the most competitive competitor to the aspirations lies in the role of Saudi Arabia and plunged into the sump of Yemen.

Al-Masni ends his speech to Al-Jazeera Net. Certainly, the first beneficiary of the war was the Houthis, which the UAE wanted, which was able to turn them by providing them with ready-made services to a terrifying nightmare for the Kingdom and a difficult number in balancing balances in Yemen.
