Yemeni Presidential Advisor criticizes political figures and Houthi supporters

Jaber Mohammed, an advisor to the Yemeni Presidency, has issued a sharp critique of Southern leader Hani bin Breik regarding his political conduct. Mohammed accused bin Breik of mixing religion with politics and breaking religious oaths for tactical political gains, calling for more professional political engagement.

Mohammed also reaffirmed that the relationship with Saudi Arabia remains a non-negotiable strategic pillar for Yemen in its efforts to counter Houthi militia influence.

In a separate analysis, Abdulmalik al-Mikhlafi, an advisor to the Presidential Leadership Council and former Foreign Minister, criticized Arab intellectuals who support the Houthi group. Al-Mikhlafi argued that actions such as launching missiles toward Israel do not grant the militia legitimacy to govern or excuse human rights violations against Yemenis, including the siege of Taiz, the recruitment of children, and the seizure of state institutions.
