UAE demonstrates unflinching commitment to finding a solution to Gaza crisis

UAE's Humanitarian Efforts in Gaza Amid Ongoing Conflict

The brutal fighting between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7 when Hamas militants launched a surprise attack on Israeli cities, resulting in approximately 1,200 deaths and the taking of several hostages. In response, Israeli retaliatory strikes have claimed over 38,000 lives.

The UAE is striving to assist as many people as possible in the Gaza Strip by providing crucial humanitarian aid. The fourth aid ship departed from the Port of Fujairah on Monday for Gaza, carrying 5,340 tonnes of supplies, as part of Operation Chivalrous Knight 3.

Under this initiative, the UAE has launched numerous efforts, including the establishment of field hospitals to provide essential medical assistance to injured Gazans. The Gulf state has also established five automatic bakeries to support the local population.

 UAE's Mitigation Efforts in Gaza
Independent UN experts announced on Tuesday that the recent deaths of more Palestinian children due to hunger and malnutrition indicate that famine has already spread across the entire Gaza Strip.

The UAE’s generous efforts aim to mitigate the catastrophic situation resulting from the cessation of aid to the besieged enclave. Prior to the fourth aid ship’s departure, the Gulf state also distributed food supplies to displaced families in Khan Younis.

Under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the UAE provided a range of essential food items, including chicken, bread, dates, fresh vegetables, and comprehensive food parcels to support displaced families. The relief campaign reached 9,000 beneficiaries.

 Reducing Tensions and Supporting Medical Treatment
In the earlier part of the conflict, UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed issued directives to provide medical treatment for 1,000 injured children and 1,000 cancer patients from the Gaza Strip at Emirati hospitals.

The 18th group of Palestinian children and cancer patients, along with their companions, arrived in the UAE on July 5 as part of the GCC nation’s commitment to alleviate the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.

The UAE emphasizes the importance of reducing tensions, countering extremism, and halting escalating violence in the Middle East. The country seeks a serious political process to resume negotiations aimed at achieving comprehensive peace in the territory.

UAE's Call for a Gaza Ceasefire
On behalf of President HH Sheikh Mohamed, HH Sheikh Saud bin Saqr, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras al Khaimah, participated on July 4 in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Kazakhstan as the head of the UAE delegation.

In his speech during the Summit, His Highness reiterated the UAE’s call for an immediate and lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. He emphasized the importance of quick and intensified delivery of humanitarian aid and highlighted the need to identify a clear path to achieving just peace.

Besides Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, the Joint Operations Command has also launched Operation ‘Birds of Goodness’ to airdrop supplies to isolated areas in Gaza that cannot be reached by land. The total amount of aid dropped so far is 3,382 tonnes.

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...
