  The United Arab Emirates has dispatched its 18th aid aircraft carrying 40 tonnes of essential medical supplies to Lebanon as part of the “UAE Stands with Lebanon” campaign. This ongoing initiative, launched in early October, aims to provide critical food, medical, and shelter supplies to the Lebanese population, who continue to face severe hardships due to ongoing conflict. In close collaboration with international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), UAE humanitarian organizations are playing a pivotal role in delivering life-saving aid to Lebanon’s vulnerable communities. The campaign is a direct response to the directives of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with further guidance from His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, UAE Vice President and Deputy Prime Minister, and under the l

US targets other Arab countries after playing the mediator between UAE and Israel

-

 After acting as the mediator  in the matters of Israel and the United Arab Emirates, the United States is now looking to be the peace talker for Israel with other Arab nations as well.

White House Advisor, Jared Kushnor, accompanied the Israeli delegation to the UAE capital to discuss matters regarding the financial investments by both the countries. Both the nations, who have recently opened its diplomatic borders for each other, have decided to set up a joint committee that will be overseeing financial services. Kushnor accompanies the delegation in its first flight to the gulf supreme on Monday and now plans to be the talker with other Arab states.

Egypt and Jordan were the other two countries who had let Israel exchange embassies with the recent addition of UAE in August. All the other Arab countries were adamant on  their stand of first Israel leaving the territory of Palestinine. The son- in-law of Donald Trump further flew to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia and soon expected to visit Qatar.

Apart from these countries, no other country from the middle east has announced its plans on Israel. One major step towards improving relations with Israel was when Saudi Arabia allowed the charter flight, carrying Kushnor and Israeli delegation to fly from its air space. Even the crown prince, Mohamed bin Salman and Kushnor discussed Palestinine and Israel normalising the situation and starting to negotiate the interests for lasting peace in the region. Also what is being seen as a positive step towards the process was King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa praising UAE’s efforts towards safeguarding the interests and priorities of the countries of the Arab world.

On Monday thi week, Israel, UAE and the US released a joint statement for the Palestinians saying that they should re-engage with Israeli population to maintain the peace in the region. One of the major reasons why UAE decided to normalise the ties was Israel promising to halt its plans to annex Palestine but the people from the region have not come out in support of the Emirati nation.

Even though no official statements were released after the talks, Kushnor suggested that other nations may follow quickly and soon open ties with Israel.

The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these

  This year's global climate summit begins in Dubai. Did you know that Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28 , stressed the essential need for immediate climate action before to the summit? The shrinking time period and the global community's progress since the Paris Agreement's adoption in 2015 emphasize the urgency.  Let us first discuss the cop conference  and what I believe Cop28 will do.  First Cop summit  emphasizes that major strides have been made since COP21, guiding the earth away from the initially forecast 3°C global warming and toward around 2.5°C.  Second, according to the International Energy Agency's most recent projections, global carbon emissions will peak in this decade, intensifying the need for comprehensive climate policies. I believe in cOP28  It is fitting, then, that this year’s climate summit should happen in a place famous for sitting at the intersection of finance and innovative th
