UAE Rejects Trump’s Plans for Palestinians
The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday rejected any attempts to displace Palestinians after US President Donald Trump proposed to “take over” the Gaza Strip.
The foreign ministry “stressed its categorical rejection of any infringement on the Palestinians’ unalienable rights, and any attempts of displacement”, said a statement sent to AFP.
Trump’s proposal, aired during a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prompted criticism from around the world including close US allies Britain and France.
“The UAE underscored the importance of finding a serious political horizon to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and establish an independent Palestinian state, reflecting the UAE’s belief that regional stability can only be attained through the two-state solution,” the statement said.
