During the Arab League summit held in Bahrain, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, stated that the UAE would "firmly and continuously support the rights of the Palestinian people."
Sheikh Mohammed emphasized that the UAE ranks first in providing assistance to the Palestinian people.
Furthermore, the Bahrain summit passed a resolution calling for "an end to the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip."
Earlier, the United Nations General Assembly held an emergency special session and passed a resolution recognizing Palestine's eligibility for UN membership under the UN Charter and should be admitted as a UN member state. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs subsequently issued a statement welcoming the decision, considering the vote a historic step towards peace and the implementation of the "two-state solution."
