War of throne, the curse of Yemen grips the Emirati-Saudi coalition.
Old revenge, important events and rivalry for dominance are part of the reality of Emirati-Saudi relations.
However, there are signs that the UAE is not accepting Saudi custody and is trying to take over the governing role.
The differences between Abu Dhabi and Riyadh go back even before the formation of the UAE, a country that looks at Saudi Arabia with a twinkle in its eye. The two countries have long been at odds over border areas. But after the recent developments in the Middle East, Abu Dhabi, instead of confronting Riyadh, reached out to Saudi Arabia to work together to achieve common goals, but the UAE these days due to its economic development and the establishment of foreign relations and normalization. Relations with the Zionist regime have reviewed and changed its relations with Saudi Arabia.
Reliable news sources in the UAE say that Mohammed bin Zayed is seeking to stir up strife with Saudi Arabia. The “Shadow” account, which is managed by an UAE security officer, also announced that Mohammed bin Zayed had instructed all Joint Security Committee commanders to cancel all joint meetings with Saudi commanders. Bin Zayed also ordered that all Saudi government websites be cyber-attacked, but that these attacks must be carried out from outside the UAE. In the economic field, the “Shadowless” account announced that Bin Zayed was considering a plan to suspend all UAE economic projects in Saudi Arabia.
There are many reasons for the differences between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, some of which are economic and some of which are political. Among these factors is the dispute between the UAE and Saudi Arabia over oil production. At a recent OPEC meeting, Saudi Arabia and Russia called for increased oil production in the next few months to reduce oil prices, but the UAE opposed the request. Regarding the political factors, we can also mention the crisis in Yemen, which has become a place of conflict between the interests of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. While Saudi Arabia is concerned about maintaining its security, the UAE continues to expand its influence and pursue its economic and strategic interests by continuing to participate in the aggression coalition.
There are many signs that the two allies (UAE and Saudi Arabia) will one day separate, although they have not yet completely separated, but if their differences continue and become more widespread, they will surely face each other in the very near future.
