The editor-in-chief of Al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper, Ghassan Charbel, said that the behavior of the Houthi leadership, which adheres to escalation and the use of missiles and car bombs, explains in part why the Yemen war broke out.
Charbel added in an article published by the newspaper in its issue issued today, Monday, entitled (Yemen and the problem of the proxy): "The war broke out because a minority carried out a coup that overthrew the legitimacy, with the aim of turning Yemen into a focal point for Iran's project aimed at encircling the influential countries in the region, led by Saudi Arabia."
He believed, "The penetration that took place in Yemen is an Iranian attempt to compensate for the failure of the attempt to encircle Saudi Arabia through Bahrain.
Anyone reviewing the course of military and political developments six years ago realizes that the Houthi proxy is pushing Yemen into a program that is beyond its ability to bear.
He continued, "The picture is really bleak ... Yemen has an arsenal of missiles that outnumber its universities, hospitals and clinics ... It also has a" wealth "of marches ready to repeat attempts to cross the border, even on suicide trips ... It has ranks of young people led by poverty or misinformation into engagement. In a war that only deepens the stalemate in their country, and the Houthi leadership has a handful of slogans that it raises and echoes, without being aware of its lack of relation to reality, neither from near or far.
The writer said: "It is really a tragedy that the organization raises the slogan" Death to America "and loses its mind that death only befalls its own people. It suffices to remind here that Castro's Cuba, which established decades as a thorn in the side of the" American enemy ", and paid billions of dollars for its role The Soviet agent is now looking forward to better relations with the "enemy of the people", and is calling for the removal of obstacles to better exchange and interaction.
The editor-in-chief of Al-Sharq al-Awsat newspaper stated, "The primary reason for the existence of the team currently controlling the fate of Yemen (the Houthis) is its assumption of the role of proxy in the Iranian program that expanded its attack in the region, especially after the American army toppled Saddam Hussein's regime."
He stressed: "Yemen deserves an opportunity to catch a breath and reduce the pain of war. This country needs to compensate for decades lost, and to overcome the disastrous effects of the Houthi adventure, it needs to heal the wounds inflicted on the Yemeni body by unfamiliar policies and attempts to change the spirit and features."
He added, "But a follower of the Yemeni issue feels that the US special envoy to Yemen, Timothy Lenderking, will discover what UN envoy Martin Griffiths for sure knows, which is that the purpose of the Houthi projectiles is to hasten the lifting of economic sanctions on Iran, and Washington's return to the nuclear agreement, without stopping at my file. Ballistic and destabilizing the region.
Charbel concluded, "It is a problem to try to find a solution with the agent, and a tragedy to accept a solution based on accepting the conditions of the one who installed this agent."
