UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan sharply condemned Netanyahu’s statements in a post on X early Saturday.
The United Arab Emirates criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for suggesting the UAE’s involvement in establishing a government in Gaza post-war. UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan strongly objected to Netanyahu’s comments, emphasizing Abu Dhabi’s rejection of being drawn into Gaza-related activities proposed by Israel. The UAE supports Palestinian independence and refuses to participate in plans that would benefit Israeli presence in Gaza.
What Did Netanyahu Say
During an interview, Netanyahu hinted at the possibility of the UAE and other nations aiding a civilian government in Gaza post-war. However, the UAE’s response highlights their commitment to supporting Palestinian sovereignty and independence, distancing themselves from any involvement that could benefit the Israeli occupation in Gaza.
Gaza Genocide
Amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, thousands of Palestinians have been killed or wounded, leading to a dire humanitarian crisis. The Israeli aggression has resulted in famine, displacements, and Palestinian casualties, prompting global concern over the situation in Gaza.
