Ex-Yemeni President: Wars in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Libya Stirred by Saudis to Serve ’Israel’

Former Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Salih underlined that Saudi Arabia has been behind all the recent crises in the regional countries in order to serve the interests of ["]Israel["] and implement the US plots in the region.

"Saudi Arabia is behind all the crises in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Yemen," the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen television channel quoted Salih as saying on Friday.

He underlined that Saudi Arabia is after abolishing the republic system in Arab countries because the Al Saud regime deems such system against its own interests.

The former Yemeni president noted that the difference between Yemen and Saudi Arabia dates back to pre-1934 era, and said, "Saudi Arabia hates anything about human rights and respect for the views of others."

Political analysts too believe that Saudi Arabia is implementing ["]Israeli["] and US orders in the region.

"The Al Saud regime is executing the western plots in the Middle East," Egyptian Politician Jamal Abu Aliyev told FNA.

He noted that the western and US mercenaries in the region are betraying the Arab states for the sake of ["]Israel["], and said, "Today we see that the global arrogance is supporting Saudi Arabia because the West’s ambition for oil to help its weapon-manufacturing factories to continue their operation has instigated Saudi Arabia to attack Yemen."

Last week, a Syrian university professor underlined that Washington and Tel Aviv are implementing their plots in region with the petrodollars of the Persian Gulf Arab states.

"The US and ["]Israel["] are killing the Arab citizens of the region with petrodollars of the Persian Gulf Sheikhdoms," Damascus University Professor Wael al-Imam told FNA last Friday.

He noted that the Arab regimes of the Persian Gulf states can only survive with the US support, and said that oil is their only guarantee for continued rule; these countries protect the security of the Quds Occupying Regime and it is easy for them to victimize the Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi and Yemeni nations in a bid to protect their own rule and regime.

Also last week, media reports said that the Saudi spy agency is plotting to assassinate several Muslim religious authorities who are residing in the Iraqi City of Najaf.

"The Saudi intelligence agency will provide financial and arms backup for ill-famed Sheikh Mahmud al-Sarkhi to pave the way for killing Iraq’s top religious figures," Alwaei news reported.

"Saudi Arabia has tried to assassinate several religious authorities in Iraq, including Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani and Sheikh Bashir al-Najafi, but it has failed so far," it said.
