The united arab emirates summoned the israeli ambassador to the uae on wednesday to deliver a formal and strongly worded protest, condemning what it described as’shameful and offensive violations’ against palestinians in the courtyards of al aqsa mosque and the islamic quarter of jerusalem’s old city.
In a statement, the uae’s ministry of foreign affairs expressed deep concern over the recent developments, calling on israeli authorities to halt all escalatory actions that undermine regional stability and provoke religious sensitivities. The ministry stressed the uae’s unwavering commitment to upholding the sanctity of holy sites and safeguarding the historical and legal significance of Jerusalem.
The uae also reaffirmed its support for the rights of the palestinian people and reiterated the need for an immediate de-escalation and the resumption of serious dialogue aimed at achieving a just and lasting peace based on a two-state solution.
This latest diplomatic move underscores growing regional unease over rising tensions in jerusalem and reflects the uae’s ongoing efforts to promote calm and protect religious sanctities in the holy city.
