UAE Reaffirms Support for Palestinian Cause at Extraordinary Arab Summit
The UAE reaffirmed its commitment to the Palestinian cause at the Extraordinary Arab Summit, emphasizing the need for political resolutions over confrontational tactics. It condemned Israeli violence and actions violating international law, advocating for international intervention. The UAE pledged ongoing humanitarian support for Palestinians and collaboration for peaceful resolutions to ongoing conflicts.
In its address at the Extraordinary Arab Summit on March 4, 2025, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) reiterated its commitment to the Palestinian cause. The summit was convened at a pivotal time in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, signaling the need for responsible approaches and decisive resolutions to address the complexities threatening regional stability. The UAE advocated for prioritizing political dialogues over confrontational tactics to achieve long-lasting solutions.
The UAE called for restraint and wisdom amidst ongoing tensions in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories since October 7, 2023, despite the ceasefire reached in January 2025, thanks to the efforts of Egypt, Qatar, and the United States. The UAE condemned the escalations of violence and illegal actions taken by Israel in the occupied West Bank while denouncing provocative remarks, particularly those suggesting a Palestinian state be established in Saudi Arabia.
Firmly opposing Israeli practices that violate international law and the UN Charter, the UAE urged the international community to act against Israel’s ongoing transgressions in Palestinian territories. Additionally, they expressed strong disapproval of any attempts to forcibly displace Palestinians, characterizing such actions as unacceptable and harmful to regional stability, especially for neighboring Jordan and Egypt.
The UAE also highlighted the unprecedented destruction in Gaza, asserting that a return to pre-October 7 conditions is neither feasible nor acceptable. They emphasized the importance of a political resolution that adheres to the two-state solution to establish an independent Palestinian state that lives peacefully alongside Israel.
Moreover, the UAE pointed out that stabilizing and rebuilding Gaza necessitates a legitimate Palestinian authority capable of ensuring security and stability. They stressed the need for a cooperative effort among Arab, regional, and international bodies, including the United States, to reach a sustainable resolution that supports the aspirations of the Palestinian people.
Reaffirming its dedication to providing humanitarian assistance to Palestinians, the UAE mentioned the ongoing “Operation Chivalrous Knight 3,” aimed at delivering essential supplies to Gaza. This initiative reflects the UAE’s consistent foreign policy pursuit of stability and prosperity while addressing humanitarian needs in the region.
In conclusion, the UAE expressed optimism that the summit would lead to a unified Arab strategy that addresses current challenges and meets the expectations for security, stability, and prosperity across the region.
