The UAE affirmed that such statements constitute a serious escalation and a violation of resolutions on international legitimacy.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed the UAE’s categorical rejection of all statements, measures, and practices aimed at altering the legal status of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and threatening further escalation and instability in the region.
The Ministry stressed the need to support all regional and international efforts to advance the peace process in the Middle East, and end illegal practices that undermine the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
