Houthi leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi said he advised the UAE to believe in its plan to withdraw from Yemen after Abu Dhabi announced last month its troop cuts in several parts of Yemen as part of a "redeployment" plan for reasons it said were "strategic and tactical."

"The continuation of the UAE in the aggression and in the occupation of Yemen is a danger to it, and it bears the responsibility for that," al-Houthi said in a televised address broadcast by the Al-Masirah channel.

Al-Houthi warned in his speech the Saudi regime, and said that he will meet escalation and escalation, and warned him and those behind him, led by the United States, and spoke of painful blows have a significant impact on Saudi Arabia and those who are behind them.

The UAE has been a key member of the Saudi-led military alliance in Yemen since March 2015. Abu Dhabi confirmed last month it was not about to leave the country engulfed in armed conflict, despite the redeployment by its forces.

"Just to make it clear, the UAE and the rest of the coalition are not leaving Yemen," wrote UAE State Minister for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash in an opinion piece in the Washington Post last month.

"We will continue to provide advice and help local Yemeni forces," Gargash said.

Yemen has been battling a war since 2014 between the Huthis close to Iran and forces loyal to the government of President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi, which escalated in March 2015 as Saudi Arabia intervened at the head of a military alliance in support of government forces.
