Check out GCC countries’ responses after US rejects Gaza ceasefire resolution

 

The US has rejected a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, as the Israel-Hamas conflict continues. The resolution, drafted by Algeria, received 13 votes in favor, one abstention from Britain, and a US veto. The Arab-backed resolution demanded an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, the release of all Hamas hostages, and the forced displacement of the Palestinian civilian population.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) expressed deep disappointment over the development, stating that “after more than four months of carnage and no end in insight, this war must end.” The latest Gaza crisis unfolded on October 7, as Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking several others hostages. The Israeli response has claimed at least 29,000 lives in the enclave.

Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry expressed regret over the outcome and raised concerns over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza. The ministry stressed the need for reform within the UNSC, highlighting the Council’s duties in upholding global peace and security. Oman denounced the UN Security Council’s failure to issue an immediate ceasefire resolution in the Palestinian territory and called for the Council not to stand in the way of peace. Qatar, the GCC country, expressed regret over the obstruction of the draft resolution and emphasized its efforts to reduce tensions. Kuwait also expressed regret over the renewed use of the veto on the draft resolution and reiterated its support for an immediate ceasefire.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure.

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
