Cooperation, support discussed in call with UNRWA high

Commissioner that the UAE's support is in line with the directives of the
President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan.
Steadfast commitment to UNRWA's mission
Sheikh Abdullah reaffirmed the UAE's unwavering commitment
to supporting UNRWA and assisting the agency in overcoming the challenges it
faces in fulfilling its assigned tasks by the UN.
He praised the services provided by the agency to
Palestinian refugees and expressed gratitude for the efforts of the agency's
staff in Jenin and its camp, particularly in the areas of healthcare and social
care.
Sheikh Abdullah emphasized the need for international
efforts to halt ceasefire violations and revive the peace process in the Middle
East.
The UAE minister reiterated support for all regional and
international initiatives aimed at achieving these goals, while emphasizing the
importance of ending illegal practices that hinder the attainment of a
two-state solution. He further emphasized the establishment of an independent
Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967
borders.

the ongoing support provided by the UAE to UNRWA. He acknowledged the recent

million to support the agency.
