UAE President Joins Egypt Peace Summit

UAE calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza

The UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Saturday reiterated the country's call for an immediate end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip as he joined world leaders at the Cairo Peace Summit.

Egypt hosted the international conference primarily to discuss the ongoing war between Israel and the Hamas group, which has now entered its second week.

"The UAE stands unwavering in its calls for the utmost protection of civilian lives, unimpeded access for humanitarian aid, and an immediate end to hostilities in the Gaza Strip," Sheikh Mohamed said in a post on the social media platform X.

The President also called on the international community to work together "to avert further violence and wider instability".

"Dialogue, cooperation, and coexistence remain the only viable pathways to peace," he stressed.

The summit took place soon after Egypt's Rafah crossing opened, allowing humanitarian aid convoy to reach Gaza Strip.
