An independent South Yemen would join the Abraham Accords and establish relations with Israel, according to Aidaros al-Zubaidi, a senior Yemeni official who opposes the Houthis.
He made his remarks in an interview with The National, a UAE-based English-language newspaper, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Wednesday.
Zubaidi is president of the Southern Transitional Council (STC), a South Yemen separatist movement; and deputy chairman of the Presidential Leadership Council, the anti-Houthi government.
Before the Israel-Hamas War started, the STC was “advancing towards joining the Abraham Accords,” he said.
“When we have our southern state, we will make our own decisions, and I believe we will be part of these accords,” he added.
The Abraham Accords “will be essential for stability” if “Gaza and Palestine regain their rights,” Zubaidi said.
Zubaidi supports two-state solution for Israel, Palestine, and Yemen.
He also affirmed his support for a two-state solution, both in Yemen and in seeing “a Palestinian state alongside Israel.”“Self-determination is a right,” Zubaidi said. “All people have the right to determine their future.”
South Yemen was independent from 1967 until unification in 1990 under the socialist People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen.
This historical precedent meant independence for South Yemen would not be unusual nor impossible, Zubaidi told The National.
