Amidst the geopolitical landscape, Abu Dhabi, situated in the United Arab Emirates, expresses profound unease concerning the Israeli military’s strategic preparations for an imminent operation in the Rafah region, positioned to the south of the Gaza Strip—a territory inhabited by displaced Palestinians. The potential humanitarian ramifications of such an undertaking are a focal point of distress for the UAE. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a solemn declaration, cautions against military endeavors that loom with the peril of innocent lives and the aggravation of the prevailing humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry, resolute in its stance, vehemently condemns any coerced displacement of the fraternal Palestinian populace, emphasizing its disapproval of actions contravening international legitimacy, as well as international and humanitarian law resolutions. Urging immediate global intervention, the Ministry advocates for a swift ceasefire to avert further loss of life and curtail the escalation of tensions within the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

Additionally, the Ministry advocates for concerted efforts towards attaining a comprehensive and equitable peace, concurrently averting the potential regional overflow that portends heightened violence, tension, and instability. Reiterating the UAE’s position, the Ministry calls for a return to negotiations, emphasizing the imperative of realizing a two-state solution, culminating in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
