Abu Dhabi, UAE – The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned and denounced the new Israeli settlement plan in the occupied West Bank. It also denounced the ongoing large-scale military operations in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) reiterated that these practices constitute grave violations of international law. They also violate relevant United Nations resolutions. Moreover, these actions severely undermine regional and international efforts for a just and comprehensive peace. They hinder the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. The Ministry further warned of the catastrophic consequences of continued aggression. This includes the escalating humanitarian suffering and the threat posed to regional security and stability.
The UAE renewed its call for the immediate cessation of settlement expansion and military operations. It urged the international community to uphold its responsibilities in ending these violations. Additionally, it called for work towards a credible political process. This process should lead to a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace based on international legitimacy.
