Jazirah newspaper commented on Yemen's affair, saying that before the two Yemeni negotiating delegations were leaving for Geneva to start the so-called Yemeni peace talks, Yemenis were sure of the futility of such talks, of which the Houthi coup rebels and supporters of ousted Ali Abdullah Saleh aimed at using them to gain time, and blackmailing the international community. It further said that the coup rebels' goal from tightening Taiz's blockade and starvation became clear when their delegation demanded swaps lifting the siege off the stricken Tail province in return for lifting the siege being imposed by the Arab coalition forces on the ports and airports that are still held by the coup rebels so that they can receive the weapons being sent to them by Iran's mullahs regime. It believed that the swap "food for weapons" is unfair bargain and that neither the Arab coalition forces nor the Yemeni legitimacy's delegation can accept it for the arrival of Iranian arms which means more Yemeni victims and that the responsibility of lifting the siege off Tail province now becomes the United Nations' one.
