Similarly, the UAE strongly condemned the Israeli “reprehensible and provocative” remarks, stressing that these statements “constitute a blatant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.”
In a statement, the Emirati Minister of State, Khalifa Al-Marar, affirmed “the UAE’s full solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed its unwavering position against all threats to the Kingdom’s security, stability and sovereignty.”
Both Egypt and the UAE expressed their full support for the Palestinian people rights, underscoring the need to establish an independent Palestinian state through the two-state solution.
