Story

In the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has engaged in discussions regarding a potential role in the postwar reconstruction efforts in the region. These talks have reportedly involved informal conversations with Israeli and American officials. However, the UAE has made it clear that it will not participate unless its preconditions are met, which include a formal invitation from a new and credible Palestinian Authority prime minister, a serious reform process within the Authority, and explicit commitments to a two-state solution from Israel. The UAE has long championed reforms in the Palestinian Authority, which is seen internationally as corrupt and ineffective.
