Commerce between the two Abraham Accords signatories has grown 11% year over year, but maintaining ties has been a diplomatic tightrope

With Arab leaders gathering in Cairo later this month for an emergency summit on Gaza, the United Arab Emirates has emerged as the United States and Israel’s best Arab friend.

The United Arab Emirates leader told the United States' secretary of state on Wednesday that his country rejects a proposal to displace Palestinians from their land, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

Leaders of Gulf states met with their Egyptian and Jordanian counterparts to strategize before a broader Arab summit early next month.

Hamas on Friday released the names of six living Israeli hostages who the militants plan to release Saturday under the terms of the ceasefire. The Hamas-linked Palestinian prisoners media office said over 600 Palestinians are also to be freed from Israeli prisons in exchange.

Having been shunned from two shows in France, Israel Aerospace Industries and other arms makers received a 'warm welcome' in Abu Dhabi.

The UAE, which diplomatically recognized Israel in 2020 during President Trump’s first term, also has been key in mediating prisoner swaps between Russia and Ukraine.

JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday fully endorsed Israel’s war aims in the Gaza Strip, saying Hamas “must be eradicated” and throwing the shaky ceasefire into further doubt.
