Israeli ‘experts’ visit Yemen

A group of Israeli ‘experts’ visit Yemen at a time when the Arab country is rife with foreign military intervention.

Five Israeli “agriculture experts” were in Yemen last week to help the country’s farmers, Israel’s Arutz Sheva newspaper reported on Sunday.

Tel Aviv says the experts’ trip has nothing to do with the conflict in Northern Yemen.

During an agricultural show exposition in the Netherlands several months ago, the government of Yemen invited the Israelis to visit the country, the report said.

Despite the fact that Sana’a and Tel Aviv have no diplomatic ties, the experts entered Yemen using their Israeli passports.

The development comes as Saudi Arabia and the US have lent military support to Yemen’s government in its crackdown against the Muslim fighters in the North of the country.

Riadh Hussain al-Qazi, the Head of the Yemeni Opposition Movement told Iran’s al-Alam Arabic TV news channel that Yemen’s crackdown against its Shia population in the north has been designed by Saudi Arabia and the Zionist lobby in the US.
