The UAE has reasserted its stance that the only sustainable solution to end the conflict is through a two-state resolution, highlighting the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
During a United Nations (UN) session on Wednesday, Ambassador Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, the Permanent Representative of the UAE to the UN, called for more truces to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid.
In her address to the Security Council, she emphasized the necessity of an immediate halt to the hostilities in Gaza.
Nusseibeh also urged for the opening of the Kerem Shalom crossing to allow the flow of humanitarian assistance and trade movement.
She clarified that the two-state solution is the focal point of their hopes, achievable through diplomatic efforts, and reiterated its importance as the sole path to a lasting resolution of the conflict.
Five Arab countries are currently developing a plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza and paving the way towards the implementation of the two-state solution, a proposal currently rejected by Israel.
This proposal, which has been presented to Israel through the US, represents the first joint initiative by Arab nations to end the conflict in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Saudi Arabia, one of the proposing countries, is offering to establish relations with Israel in exchange for the creation of a Palestinian state. This process, however, has been derailed, as reported by the newspaper, due to an attack led by Hamas on October 7.
