In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) expressed its deep concern over the ongoing escalation and stressed the need to exercise restraint and judgment to prevent the expansion of the conflict.
The UAE also emphasised the need to resolve disputes through diplomatic means rather than confrontation and escalation.
The Ministry reaffirmed the UAE’s position adhering to international law and respecting the sovereignty of states constitute essential principles for resolving the crisis.
