The UAE has welcomed the announcement of a humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip, and the agreement to exchange detainees between the Palestinians and Israel.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed hope that this agreement would lead to a permanent ceasefire.
It commended the efforts of Qatar, Egypt and the United States in brokering the deal that stipulates a four-day ceasefire allowing for the exchange of detainees and prisoners, and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
The UAE also stressed the importance of returning to negotiations to achieve the two-state solution with an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The UAE will continue working alongside the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, to intensify efforts aimed at easing the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
