The United Arab Emirates is not ready to support the day after the war in Gaza without the establishment of a Palestinian state, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the U.A.E. foreign minister, wrote on social media last week. This underscores the U.A.E.'s firm stance on aligning its humanitarian efforts in Gaza with concrete political progress towards a two-state solution, showing its commitment to addressing the root causes of conflict in the region.
As the Emirates has helped evacuate critically wounded or sick Gazans from the strip, it is considered a crucial partner in the future rebuilding of Palestinian territories after the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. This reflects a dual role for the Emirates, balancing humanitarian assistance with political conditions necessary for their involvement in a postwar context.
