The UAE has strongly condemned the recent Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Palestinians, calling it a breach of the ceasefire agreement reached in January.
In a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE warned of the severe consequences of any military escalation, emphasizing the risk of more innocent lives lost and further worsening the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The UAE urged the international community to take immediate action to halt the escalation and work towards a renewed ceasefire.
It also called for an end to punitive measures, the restoration of electricity, the opening of crossings, and the swift, unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid to those in need.
The Ministry warned that the continuous Israeli airstrikes on civilians and residential areas will lead to escalating the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and a regional spill-over that risks further violence and instability.
