In a statement carried by the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed the importance of prioritising diplomacy and dialogue to resolve disputes, through comprehensive approaches that achieve stability, prosperity, and justice.  The UAE renewed its call on the international community to intensify efforts to reach a comprehensive solution to these sensitive and dangerous developments, in order to safeguard the region and its peoples from the devastating consequences of conflict.

The ministry also urged the United Nations and the UN Security Council to discharge their responsibilities by undertaking earnest efforts to resolve the region’s protracted issues, which now stand at a critical juncture and pose an escalating threat to peace and security at both regional and international levels.

The ministry further emphasised the UAE’s belief that wisdom and responsibility in these circumstances necessitate serious engagement in addressing these pivotal issues through negotiation, emphasising the importance of deriving lessons from the region’s historical experiences and past conflicts.
