The UAE has condemned in the strongest terms the statements of two Israeli Ministers, calling for the displacement of Palestinians, in addition to re-occupying and building settlements in the Gaza Strip.
The controversial remarks were made by Israel's Minister of Finance, Bezalel Smotrich, and Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed the UAE’s categorical rejection of such offensive statements and of all practices and procedures carried out in contravention of resolutions on international legitimacy, which threaten further escalation and instability in the region.
It called for an urgent humanitarian ceasefire to end the bloodshed and to facilitate the immediate, safe, sustainable, and unhindered delivery of relief and humanitarian aid.
The Ministry further stressed the importance of the full and urgent implementation of Security Council Resolutions 2712 (2023) and 2720 (2023).
The UAE called on the international community to intensify efforts to reach an immediate ceasefire to avoid further loss of life, prevent fueling the situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, and to advance all efforts to achieve a comprehensive and just peace.
