In her speech at the Arab League headquarters, Ambassador Al Kaabi affirmed that the UAE continues to mobilise efforts to achieve a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Al Kaabi underscored the UAE's dedication to provide protection for civilians, extend humanitarian aid, and collaborate with partners to work towards a comprehensive peace solution.
During her address, Al Kaabi highlighted the proactive stance of the UAE's leadership, which has engaged in numerous diplomatic and humanitarian initiatives in support of the Palestinian cause.
She emphasised the success of the UAE's non-permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council, during which resolutions 2712 and 2720 were adopted.
Al Kaabi highlighted that the UAE strongly condemns Israel's policy of collective punishment against Palestinians and reiterated the UAE's rejection of any attempts to displace them. She stressed the nation's unwavering focus on safeguarding civilian lives, providing essential relief and medical aid to Gaza residents, and preventing further escalation that could threaten regional stability.
The extraordinary meeting, at the level of permanent representatives of member states in the Arab League and convened at the request of Palestine with the backing of Arab countries, discussed Israeli actions against the Palestinian people. Discussions also centred on potential political, legal, and economic measures to be supported within the Arab League framework.
The meeting highlighted the escalating Israeli offenses in the West Bank, the systematic destruction of infrastructure in Palestinian refugee camps, daily raids in dozens of cities, villages, and camps, the killing and injuring of hundreds of Palestinian citizens, the demolition of homes, and the inhumane detention of thousands.
