UAE stresses strategic approach to resolve Israel-Palestine conflict

The UAE has stressed the importance of adopting a comprehensive strategic approach to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, dealing with the humanitarian crisis and ending the suffering of Palestinians.

"This approach should put an end to the cycle of violence, hatred and extremism, based on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that fulfills all legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people," the UAE said in a statement released today at the conclusion of an international conference on emergency humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip, which was held in Jordan.

The UAE added that today, more than ever, the Palestinian people deserve a competent and transparent government of independent experts, operating with integrity and in accordance with international standards, to earn the trust of the international community and their cooperation.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs led the UAE delegation at the conference, which took place at the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Centre at the Dead Sea.

The UAE's top diplomat praised the efforts of Jordan's King Abdullah II, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and UN Secretary-General António Guterres in holding this conference.

He said that the UAE is firmly committed to standing by the Palestinian people and providing the necessary humanitarian support in every possible way by land, sea, and air, to alleviate their suffering.

Sheikh Abdullah emphasised that collective international action is the key to addressing this escalating humanitarian crisis, reaffirming the UAE's commitment to working with all relevant parties in the international community to provide the necessary humanitarian relief to Palestinians.
