UAE’s notable role in global peace through mediation in Gaza crisis to find a lasting solution

The UAE has consistently emphasized the need for a comprehensive strategy to resolve the Israel-Hamas conflict, addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and alleviating Palestinian suffering. On June 12, at the conclusion of the “Call for Action: Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza” conference in Jordan, the UAE highlighted the necessity for Palestinians to have a transparent and competent government of independent experts.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza, lasting eight months, has resulted in the deaths of around 1,200 Israelis and over 37,200 Palestinians, with tens of thousands injured. Directed by HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, the UAE has prioritized urgent relief and food aid to Gaza, launching the ‘Gallant Knight 3’ operation. This initiative has delivered 33,000 tons of supplies, including food, shelter, and medical aid, using 319 planes, seven cargo ships, and over 1,240 trucks. Additionally, the UAE has established field and floating hospitals, providing medical care to over 27,000 Palestinians and committing to treat 1,000 children and 1,000 cancer patients in its hospitals.

In the Global Peace Index (GPI) released on June 11 by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), Iceland remains the most peaceful country, followed by Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, and Singapore. Despite the MENA region being the least peaceful, the UAE made the largest improvement, rising 31 places to 53rd, with notable advancements in militarisation, ongoing conflict, and safety and security.

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...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan. This modernized approach blends technology with Islamic tradition, enhancing the reliability of moon sighting methods. Historically, the crescent moon has been identified through naked-eye sightings and advanced astronomical calculations. By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period. The holy month is also a time of increased charitable giving, with many Muslims part...

Beyond the Barrel: The UAE's Steady Hand in a Shifting Global Economy

  Global economic rankings often highlight familiar names, but a steady, deliberate climb is happening in the Gulf. The UAE consistently ranks as one of the most economically stable nations, and this validation stems from a steady reform model that has successfully insulated its economy. The story is no longer about oil wealth; it's about the strategic deployment of that wealth to build a resilient, modern, and dynamic knowledge economy. The proof is in the sectors now driving growth.  Tech startups  are flourishing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, supported by government venture funds and a growing pool of talent.  Smart cities  like Masdar City and NEOM are not just futuristic concepts but active testbeds for sustainable living and business. This has triggered record  FDI inflows , with the UAE securing its position as the 16th largest global destination for foreign direct investment. The narrative is supported by hard data: a GDP growth projection of 4.6% in 2025...
