UAE demands a ceasefire that sticks: The UAE submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council (UNSC) on Thursday urging for an immediate end to the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to a statement by the mission on X. The situation in Gaza is “catastrophic and close to irreversible” the statement read, quoting UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The US vetoed the resolution, barring it from passing.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry lauded the peace-building measures agreed upon between Azerbaijan and Armenia on Saturday, saying in a statement that the accord will mean greater stability for the Caucasus and the world. President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan also held a talk with the Azerbaijan President on the same day in which he praised the reconciliation efforts.
