The United Arab Emirates has sent ten humanitarian aid convoys to the Gaza Strip as part of its ongoing relief effort. This campaign, carried out under the "Gallant Knight 3" operation, seeks to offer critical food supplies, medical aid, and other requirements to Palestinians affected by the ongoing situation. Despite the challenges on the ground, the UAE's leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to humanitarian assistance, ensuring that relief reaches those in critical need. These convoys are part of a larger campaign to alleviate suffering in Gaza, where thousands of families are facing shortages of basic commodities.

UAE

After negotiating a €1 billion contract, a shipping company in the UAE will send a squadron of navy corvettes to Angola. The agreement was revealed yesterday at the IDEX defence expo taking place this week in Abu Dhabi.

The Angolan Navy will receive a fleet of BR71 Mk II corvettes from the Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) company. The ship is a more sophisticated version of the corvette of the Baynunah class (BR 71 design). According to reports, it is intended for inland defence activities like patrolling, law enforcement, information gathering, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. The corvette can combat threats from the surface and airborne missiles.

The warships have a crew of 50 and can travel at a top speed of 30 knots. They are equipped with two six-meter rigid-hull inflatable boats and a 5-ton class helicopter on their rear decks (RHIBs). A 76 or 57 mm cannon, two 20 or 30 mm cannons, and the capacity to fire Exocet anti-ship and surface-to-air missiles are among their defence capabilities.

According to David Massey, CEO of ADSB, "The BR71 Mk II corvette is a highly advanced vessel capable of fulfilling many duties to safeguard Angola's 1,600 km coastline." We are eager to support the Angolan Navy's operational needs, bolster its naval prowess, and widen ADSB's growth opportunities.

ADSB's parent business, Edge, senior executive Khalid Al-Breiki, praised the agreement's signing as "a momentous success" for both organisations. This shows our strategic approach and unwavering dedication to boosting domestic exports in accordance with the UAE

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
