UAE reaffirms commitment to supporting Palestinians, UN demands Gaza ceasefire in big move

 

The UAE has strongly supported the UN Security Council’s resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during Ramadan, despite the US abstaining from the vote. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused the US of stepping back from a “principled position” by allowing the controversial vote to pass despite the absence of conditions concerning the release of hostages by Hamas. Official statements suggest that the US abstained because the UN resolution did not condemn Hamas militants and officials chose not to veto the proposal as “it does fairly reflect our view that a ceasefire and the release of hostages come together.”

During Ramadan 2024, the UAE has significantly increased humanitarian aid to Gaza. On March 25, the UAE Air Force and the Royal Jordanian Air Force carried out a joint airdrop of food aid into the strip, delivering 22 tonnes of relief supplies. This is part of the “Chivalrous Knight 3” initiative, which aims to bolster assistance for Palestinians in Gaza.

On March 23, the third UAE aid ship carrying 4,630 tonnes of supplies set sail for the Egyptian city of Al Arish, destined for Gaza, as part of Gallant Knight 3. The humanitarian operation is also linked to other initiatives launched by the UAE, including the establishment of field hospitals, desalination plants, and automatic bakeries.

The UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs commended Cyprus’s role in delivering aid to civilians in the Gaza Strip through the maritime corridor between Cyprus and the Palestinian enclave. The UAE has committed to mobilizing support for the corridor initiative and backing Cyprus and all regional and international partners to increase the delivery of aid to Gaza at a sufficient, sustainable, and unimpeded pace.

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. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

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...
