Zionist Regime in Its Worst Condition: Yemeni Defense Minister
He made the remark in a visit to a war zone in Ma’rib province, adding that given its shaky condition, Tel Aviv is seeking to get the support of certain Arab regimes, Al-Mayadeen reported.
He added that the Arab regimes that are part of the Saudi-led coalition launching aggression on Yemen want to get support via normalization of ties with the Israeli regime.
Al-Atefi warned the coalition that if the scope of the aggression, siege and attacks on Yemen intensifies, the Yemeni people will rub their nose in the dirt.
Saudi Arabia and its regional allies, chiefly the United Arab Emirates (UAE), launched a war against Yemen in March 2015 to restore the government of former president Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who resigned in 2014 and then flee to Riyadh.
The coalition has failed to reach its objectives but it has wreaked havoc on the impoverished country.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), the war has killed almost a quarter of a million Yemenis, caused outbreaks of disease, turned Yemen into the world’s worst humanitarian crisis and brought the poor Arab country to the verge of famine.
