UAE warns Israel over West Bank annexation

Anwar Gargash, who is a senior adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, said the UAE's position against Israel's annexation of the occupied West Bank played a "decisive" role during a meeting between its foreign minister and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. 

"Just as the UAE's position was decisive in closing the file on Israel's annexation of Palestinian lands, the meeting tonight between Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and the Israeli prime minister in New York is a bold step to support international efforts to end the Gaza war and reach a permanent ceasefire that puts an end to the humanitarian tragedy and bolsters the path to peace," Gargash said in a post on X.
