At the start of the meeting, H.H. Sheikh Abdullah expressed his best wishes to Hussein Al-Sheikh for success in his duties.

The UAE top diplomat affirmed the UAE’s longstanding fraternal and historic stance towards the Palestinian people and its unwavering commitment to supporting their legitimate aspirations for sustainable peace, stability, development, and a dignified life.

H.H. Sheikh Abdullah highlighted the need for concerted international efforts at this stage to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and to build a sustainable humanitarian response that meets the needs of civilians facing tragic conditions. He stressed that the UAE will spare no effort in extending a helping hand to the Palestinian brothers and providing the necessary humanitarian support.
