The United Arab Emirates on Sunday described attacks carried out by Palestinian Islamist faction Hamas against Israeli towns as a “serious and grave escalation.”
The UAE foreign ministry in a statement also said it was “appalled” by reports Israeli civilians were taken as hostages from their homes.
“Civilians on both sides must always have full protection under international humanitarian law and must never be a target of conflict,” the ministry added.
The UAE became the first Gulf country to normalise relations with Israel in 2020, breaking with decades of Arab policy toward the Palestinian cause.
Good call by the UAE
Those are some rare words.

According to the internet, the UAE most commonly uses a 24 hour clock, so in their case, they are only right once per day.

Agreed.
The ignorance of this sentiment is just so depressing. All these politicians and dictators want is to go back to the status quo last week of Palestinians literally starving and Palestinians dying every week out of their sight. The humanitarian catastrophe of Gaza is normalized to them. Palestinians didn’t just wake up on Saturday deciding they hated Israel; the attack was in response to Israeli settler extremists raiding Al Aqsa and backed by the Israeli military.
