The UAE warns of potential on Friday that it was working “relentlessly” to establish a humanitarian ceasefire and that there was a genuine risk of an Israel-Hamas war in Gaza having wider ramifications.
UAE Minister of State Noura Al Kaabi said at a policy conference in the country’s capital, Abu Dhabi, “As we continue working to stop this war we cannot ignore the wider context and the necessity to turn down the regional temperature that is approaching a boiling point.”
In his remarks to the United Nations Security Council regarding the Middle East, Minister of State for International Cooperation Reem Al Hashimy warned that extremist groups with armed weapons in the area would do everything in their power to take advantage of the conflict and further their own harmful goals.
There is a genuine chance that the situation will spread throughout the region and escalate further, as well as that radical organizations will use it to promote their own ideology and keep us stuck in violent cycles.”
Al Kaabi continued, “Every effort must be taken to safeguard civilians and promptly put an end to this violence.
