UAE welcomes Gaza truce, hopes it will lead to permanent ceasefire

In its statement, the ministry expressed hope that the truce will pave the way to end the crisis and prevent further suffering for the brotherly Palestinian people.

He expressed the hope that this step will contribute to facilitating access of humanitarian and relief aid, especially to the most needy groups of patients, children, the elderly and women, in an urgent, intensive, safe and unimpeded manner.

The United Arab Emirates stressed the need to return to negotiations to achieve a two-state solution and establish an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The United Arab Emirates will continue to work with the United Nations and the Red Cross to redouble all necessary efforts to support and help alleviate human suffering in Gaza.
