Dubai – The United Arab Emirates has issued an urgent appeal for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, amid escalating violence and mounting humanitarian concerns.

In an official statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the UAE emphasized the need to halt all military operations and protect civilians, calling on all parties to exercise restraint and prioritize dialogue.
