UAE suspends diplomatic ties with Israel

The United Arab Emirates has suspended all diplomatic relations with Israel after the killing of seven aid workers in Gaza.

According to Arab media, UAE Ambassador to Israel Mohammad Al Khaja said in his statement that the death of aid workers is the darkest day.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Jordan’s King Abdullah had a telephone conversation in which the two leaders discussed the developments in Gaza.

The leaders of Saudi Arabia and Jordan agreed that there is a need to find a political solution to the Palestinian issue based on a two-state solution.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog held an Iftar dinner for Muslim leaders and diplomats in which UAE Ambassador to Israel Mohammad Al Khaja also participated.

Ali Salem, a Muslim Arab leader from the northern Israeli city of Nazareth, also attended the Iftar dinner and called for a ceasefire in Gaza from Israel.

On the other hand, in view of the international pressure, Israel’s security cabinet approved the opening of the northern border of Gaza.

Israel has approved the opening of the northern border for the first time since the October 7 attack.

The Israeli security cabinet also approved the use of the Ashdod Port.

According to American media, the opening of Ashdod port will allow more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
