Qatar, Turkey and Iran continue to sponsor terrorist groups in the Middle East to destabilize countries and achieve their own agendas and interests.

Several weeks ago, a secret meeting took place between leaders of Yemeni Al-Islah Party (The Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen) and the Houthis to seek common grounds between the two sides and set a joint plan to confront the Arab coalition, target the Southern Transitional Council and increase the pace of rumors against Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

The meeting that took place in Muscat last month was sponsored by Qatar, Iran and Turkey to confront the Saudi-led Arab coalition in Yemen.

During the meeting, which was attended by Mohamed Abdel Salam, spokesman of Yemen's Houthis, and Nobel Peace Laureate Tawakkol Karman, the parties agreed to a set of actions that include a cease of fire within the fronts led by the Muslim Brotherhood and an increase in the pace of rumors against countries of the Arab coalition.

On Sept. 19, Karman tweeted that she looks forward to a national reconciliation between the Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood in Yemen.

Several protests were launched against the government in Yemen after the meeting to reject deterioration of currency and services.

For his part, Yemeni politician and member of the southern transitional council, Nizar Haitham, said the Muscat meeting is not the first of its kind, as Qatar, Turkey and Iran have been coordinating with each other since they first appeared in the Yemeni scene.

Haitham also added in an interview with the meeting was funded by Qatar and planned by Turkey and Iran to plot against the Arab coalition and the transitional council.

He pointed out that during negotiations between Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood in 2014, leaders of Al-Islah Part headed to Saada to meet with Houthi leader Abdel Abdul Malik al-Houthi, as they conducted secret meetings, during which they agreed on handing Sanaa to the Houthis.

The two parties agreed during the meeting in Muscat to form an alliance between Houthis, the Muslim Brotherhood and Southern groups, under the leadership of Fady Ba’oom to hinder the Arab coalition’s achievements and liberate Al Hudaydah port.

Yemeni political analyst Hany Mashour said in TV remarks that Ba’oom received $50 million to fund terrorist operatives to destabilize security in southern Yemen, affirming that Qatar exerts efforts to destroy the Yemeni soil.

Mashour also clarified that connections between Houthis and the Muslim Brotherhood were not made public until Qatar sensed danger that liberating Al Hudaydah port might weaken the stand of its arms in the region.
