President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Wednesday reaffirmed the UAE’s stance of rejecting any attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land in a meeting with Marco Rubio, US Secretary of State, who is visiting the UAE.

His Highness also underscored the importance of linking Gaza’s reconstruction to a path that leads to a comprehensive and lasting peace based on the two-state solution as the only manner of ensuring stability in the region.

His Highness further emphasised the need to prevent the expansion of the conflict, which poses a threat to regional peace, and the two also discussed the Occupied Palestinian Territory and ongoing efforts to address the crisis in Gaza, as well as its implications for regional peace, stability, and security.

The meeting also covered a range of regional and international issues of shared concern, with a focus on developments in the Middle East.

They also discussed cooperation between the two countries, as well as ways to further enhance ties across various fields in pursuit of their joint interests.
