UAE welcomes Emmanuel Macron's move to recognise Palestine as a state
Sheikh Abdullah welcomes Emmanuel Macron's move to recognise Palestine as a stateSheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, has welcomed the declaration by French President Emmanuel Macron that France will recognise Palestine as a state. Mr Macron announced on Thursday night that France would join Norway, Ireland and Spain as countries in Europe that have recognised Palestine. His comments came as anger mounted over the death toll in Gaza and the growing number of people starving in the enclave. Sheikh Abdullah said the UAE appreciated "this important decision" by Mr Macron, state news agency Wam reported on Friday evening. The move by the French President came at "a pivotal moment that requires the international community to shoulder its responsibilities and work collectively to activate the political process and end the Palestinian-Israeli conflict", added Sheikh Abdullah. The French stance will contribute to enhancing security and stability in the region, while supporting the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, he said. Sheikh Abdullah reiterated the UAE's commitment to work with regional and international partners to find a just solution to the conflict in Gaza, ensuring a stable and prosperous future for the region in the process. Mr Macron said he would formalise the decision at the UN General Assembly in September. "The urgent priority today is to end the war in Gaza and rescue the civilian population," Mr Macron wrote. "We must finally build the state of Palestine, ensure its viability and enable it, by accepting its demilitarisation and fully recognising Israel, to contribute to the security of all in the Middle East." The decision to recognise Palestine as a state was also welcomed by Mohammed Ahmed Al Yammahi, President of the Arab Parliament. This move embodies a commitment to the values of justice, freedom and human dignity, and represents support for the Palestinian people's legitimate right to establish an independent and sovereign state, Wam reported Mr Al Yammahi as saying. The stance, added Mr Al Yammahi, strengthens diplomatic and parliamentary efforts aimed at achieving a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in the Middle East based on the two-state solution.

Arab Parliament Speaker Condemns Israeli Escalation in Gaza, Calls for Immediate Action
Arab Parliament Speaker Mohammed Al Yamahi strongly condemned Israel's dangerous and bloody escalation against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, the Saudi Press Agency said on Sunday. In a statement, Al Yamahi described the systematic starvation and deadly siege in Gaza, leaving vulnerable populations to face death, as a full-fledged crime occurring before a silent world. He voiced calls on the international community to shirk its moral, legal, and humanitarian responsibilities towards a people facing annihilation through mass starvation, a scenario deemed unbearable to human conscience. Al Yamahi also condemned the Israeli occupation forces' bombing of places of worship in Gaza, describing it as a war crime and holding the occupying forces fully responsible for the attack. He urged the international community to take immediate and effective action to halt the aggression, open urgent and sustainable humanitarian aid corridors, and hold occupation leaders accountable as war criminals.

Arab Parliament condemns Israeli escalation
In a statement issued today, Al Yamahi described the ongoing blockade, starvation, and targeting of civilians—particularly women, children and families—as a fully fledged crime committed in plain view of the world. He stated, 'What is happening in Gaza, from deliberate starvation to deadly siege, leaving children, women and families to die from hunger or by bullets, is a crime the global conscience can no longer bear. The silence of the international community reflects a complete abandonment of its moral, legal and humanitarian responsibilities.' Al Yamahi also warned against the Israeli occupation's illegal decision to transfer the administration and supervision of the Ibrahimi Mosque from the Palestinian Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs to what is known as the 'Jewish Religious Council.' He condemned the move as a blatant violation of international resolutions, including those issued by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). He stressed the danger of such illegal actions, which form part of a wider plan by the occupation to alter the historical, legal and religious status of Islamic holy sites in the occupied Palestinian territory and impose a fabricated Israeli sovereignty over them. He reaffirmed that all such decisions and actions are illegal and void under international law. Al Yamahi also denounced the Israeli military's continued targeting of places of worship in Gaza, including mosques and churches, the most recent being the Latin Patriarchate church, which was sheltering around 600 Palestinians, including children and persons with disabilities. He described the attack as a war crime and held the Israeli occupation fully responsible for these heinous acts. He called on the international community to take immediate and effective action to stop the aggression, ensure the urgent and sustainable entry of humanitarian aid, and hold the leaders of the Israeli occupation accountable as war criminals. Al Yamahi stressed that these crimes will not be forgotten or go unpunished. He called for urgent Arab, Islamic and international action—political and legal—to break the silence, stop the massacres, impose immediate sanctions on the occupying power, and prevent further crimes against humanity. He reaffirmed the Arab Parliament's unwavering support for the resilience of the Palestinian people. He concluded by stating that these violations will never be erased or expire with time, and that the Arab Parliament will continue its efforts at all levels to support the Palestinian people in achieving their full rights, foremost among them the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
