The UAE has also been at the forefront in helping Palestinians with humanitarian initiatives ever since the war began. It has provided aid and also set up field hospitals apart from evacuating patients and flying them to the UAE and providing treatment.

Meanwhile, Dr. Anwar Gargash, diplomatic advisor to the UAE President, posted on X: "His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed’s statement that the UAE is not prepared to support the day after the war in Gaza without the establishment of a Palestinian state reflects our firm and steadfast position in supporting our Palestinian brothers and our conviction that there is no stability in the region except through a two-state solution. The UAE will stand by the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination."

Meanwhile, the Muslim World League (MWL) has welcomed the statement issued on Friday by the Joint Ministerial Contact Group meeting in Madrid, which emphasised the group's commitment to implementing the two-state solution as the only way to establish peace and security, Saudi Press Agency reported.

The meeting, attended by representatives of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Palestine, Qatar, Türkiye, Ireland, Norway, Slovenia, Spain, the League of Arab States, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, condemned all forms of violence and terrorism, and called for the two-state solution, based on international law, and the fulfilment of the rights of the Palestinian people and Israel's security.
