UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, held a phone call with Qatar's Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to express UAE's solidarity following the Iranian missile strike on the Al Udeid airbase.
During the call, the President reaffirmed UAE's full support for Qatar's sovereignty and security and condemned the attack. He also enquired about the situation in Qatar and the wellbeing of its people.
The two leaders discussed the recently announced ceasefire between Iran and Israel. Sheikh Mohamed welcomed the agreement and praised Sheikh Tamim's role in helping to facilitate it, stressing the importance of continued coordination to support peace and stability in the region.
Sheikh Tamim expressed his gratitude for UAE's sentiments and supportive stance towards Qatar and its citizens.

How Israel's war on Palestinians became systematised cruelty
As Israel assassinates Iranian scientists and bombs hospitals and television stations, the logic of escalation - and the outright cowardice displayed by the so-called "most moral army" in the Middle East's "only democracy" - continues methodically and relentlessly. This extends to the targeting and assassination of Mohamed Nasrallah, a beloved beekeeper in Hula, a Lebanese village south of the Litani River. Nasrallah - or perhaps his bees - must have posed a mortal threat to Israeli settlers near the border. The constant mix of random and calculated attacks makes singular loss - and the ability to grieve - almost impossible to register. The momentary shock felt when it became clear, after only a few days of operation, that the new Mossad-affiliated, US-supported "humanitarian aid stations" were in fact kill zones, designed to pulverise Palestinian solidarity through starvation and the criminal control of food, has worn off. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's open admission that military and intelligence forces were working with criminal gangs to seize control of food distribution has gone hand in hand with Israel's continued elimination - through targeted assassinations or outright destruction - of every tier of Palestinian civil and communal life. In most concentration camps and gulags, the result of slave labour, meagre rations, and lack of medicine was typhus. Death followed. But in Gaza - surely the largest concentration camp ever created - Palestinians are eliminated mathematically, in categories, through differing forms of cruelty. Like the US sanctions regime in Iraq, the structure through which Israel carries out these murders is far harder to document than its physical consequences The form of slave labour imposed on Palestinians takes perversity to new levels. Enacted upon the self, it consists of doing everything necessary to stay alive - following the "hunger games" of evacuation orders, running between bullets, bombs and missiles, whether fired by snipers, tanks, drones, jets or ships. In the so-called "humanitarian corridors", hundreds of Palestinians seeking the bare minimum to feed their starving families continue to be murdered daily - in cold blood, and at random, as examples. Many more are shot or stabbed - often critically - by criminals who steal the coveted food to sell on the black market. In the Israeli playbook, the unthinkable becomes routine. In Khan Younis on 17 June, an estimated 80 or more people waiting for the crumbs presented so magnanimously by White House spokesperson Tammy Bruce as humanitarian aid were torn apart by Israeli bombers paid for by US taxpayers. Some 300 more were wounded. As Israel assassinates more Palestinian journalists, fewer eyewitness reports emerge from Gaza. But, like the US sanctions regime in Iraq - a bureaucratic and technocratic killing machine that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives - the structure through which these murders occur is far harder to document than its consequences on the ground. Engineered chaos On 9 June, Dr Ezzideen Shehab, a prominent Palestinian physician, posted on X: "The World Health Organization was informed calmly and formally that the Israeli army has suspended medical coordination for all Palestinian males over the age of twelve. Twelve." As difficult as it is for any Palestinian in Gaza to obtain Israeli permission for medical evacuation, this new decree is a literal death sentence. How can Palestinian medics 'cooperate' with Israeli health bodies during a genocide? Read More » Writing with the ferocity of a latter-day prophet and the clarity of a diagnostician, Dr Shehab continues: This is not negligence; it is theology - the theology of is happening is not madness; it is order. And that is the horror. There is no screaming. No flames. No chaos. Only the smooth silence of denied referrals, the precision of paperwork, and the perfect quiet of children who never made it to the ambulance. And the world watches. Some count the dead; others count votes. But no one counts the unseen dying... This engineered chaos and controlled demolition is a calculation enacted upon the land of Palestine and the bodies of Palestinians - whether they reside, as the late Walid Daqqa theorised, in the smaller prisons or the larger one that occupied Palestine itself has become. In the graduated scales of terror and repression inflicted by Israel, it is telling that Daqqa's widow, Sanaa Salameh, was detained on 29 May while crossing a checkpoint. Charged with "online incitement", National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir sought to deport her and revoke her Israeli citizenship. She was with their five-year-old daughter, Milad, conceived through Daqqa's smuggled sperm after he was denied conjugal rights - a major chapter in the annals of resistance. Follow Middle East Eye's live coverage of the Israel-Palestine war Separated from her daughter and subjected to seven court appearances, activist, journalist and translator Salameh was released on 12 June. When asked about Milad's reaction to her mother's detention, an acquaintance replied: "She is smart and understands that her mother was detained." Alms against oblivion As events spiral into new forms of escalation, perversity and sheer destruction - and as social media reporting from Gaza dwindles - the continuing work of visual artists offers an astonishing window onto the breadth of the human spirit at one of its most hopeless moments. Days after what has come to be called the "Witkoff Massacre" on 2 June - in which 31 Palestinians seeking food were murdered and more than 200 wounded - artist Osama Hussein posted a harrowing drawing: a group of people carry bags of flour on what might ordinarily, in Gaza at least, have been used as a stretcher. Balancing the flour bags on their shoulders, their faces peer down at a group of corpses on the ground. In an equally harrowing caption accompanying the drawing, Hussein writes: Hunger broke all the remaining order of values, so that flour was carried while bodies remained on the ground with no one to carry them. I drew this work while feeling the weight of this contradiction. It is not an accusation, but a mirror of an impossible situation when the siege forces you to prefer your physical survival over your feelings and those who died in front of your eyes... In a kindred vein, renowned artist Raed Issa - a founding member of the now-destroyed Eltiqa Group for Contemporary Arts in Gaza - posted a haunting drawing of a goat, shocked at what is about to take place, with this description: "The look of there are no human rights, then where are animal rights?" Sohail Salem, another founding member of Eltiqa, keeps a drawing diary in whatever notebooks he can find. One of them - an Unrwa children's school exercise book - managed to find its way out of Gaza to appear at an exhibit in Amman at Jordan's Darat al-Funun. By all appearances, Salem's astonishing drawings seem to be done with ballpoint pens. One drawing, even at the very small scale present conditions dictate, is as powerful as Picasso's monumental Guernica; the whole field of the drawing crowded with the intricately drawn faces of women in mourning staring back at the viewer. Another artist, Kholoud Hammad - only 21 years old - draws with an overwhelming spirit of resistance, depicting heroic figures in epic tableaux, whirlwind scenes of chaos and destruction, or schematic views of exploding buildings. As events spiral into escalation and destruction, Gaza's artists offer a window into the human spirit at one of its most hopeless moments As she writes: "My art springs from the reality I live every day - harsh scenes of destruction, loss, and resilience... Art became my voice when words fail me. It is my way to process pain, resist injustice, and share my truth with the world." As governments around the world - from Washington, London, Berlin and Paris to Cairo, Amman, Rabat and Riyadh - consolidate their powers to suppress public outrage at Israel's continued impunity and criminal behaviour, words often fail in the face of such unprecedented cruelty. And yet, the presence of mind displayed by these and other artists in Gaza is humbling - a testament to resilience that deserves the deepest respect and reverence. To reverse a phrase from Shakespeare - beloved by the assassinated Palestinian poet Refaat al-Areer - these works represent "alms against oblivion".

Israel opposition, hostages' kin call for end to Gaza war
Israel's opposition leader and the families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza called on Tuesday for an end to the war in the Palestinian territory after a ceasefire was announced with Iran. US President Donald Trump said a truce was in effect between Israel and Iran after 12 days of war that saw Israel and the United States pummel the Islamic republic's nuclear facilities. 'And now Gaza. It's time to finish it there too. Bring back the hostages, end the war,' opposition leader Yair Lapid of the centre-right Yesh Atid party wrote on X. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, the main group representing the families of those abducted during Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel, also called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seek a Gaza ceasefire. 'We call on the government to engage in urgent negotiations that will bring home all the hostages and end the war. Those who can achieve a ceasefire with Iran can also end the war in Gaza,' it said in a statement. Of the 251 hostages seized by Palestinian militants in October 2023, 49 are still held in Gaza, including 27 the Israeli military says are dead. The prime minister of Qatar, a key mediator between Israel and Hamas, said the Gulf country was working on resuming talks for a ceasefire. 'We are still continuing our efforts, and God willing, we will try to look for an opportunity during the next two days for having indirect negotiations between the two parties,' Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said. Israeli President Isaac Herzog suggested the truce with Iran was 'a great opportunity' to foster national unity after the highly divisive Gaza war, although he did not call for an end to the fighting in the territory. 'I believe this can be a moment of goodwill and national agreement on many painful issues,' Herzog told reporters at the site of an Iranian missile strike in southern Israel. Foreign leaders too expressed hope that the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran would lead to a truce in Gaza which Israeli troops invaded more than 20 months ago. 'Today... the moment has come to conclude a ceasefire for Gaza,' Chancellor Friedrich Merz told the German parliament. The Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority demanded that the ceasefire with Iran be widened to include Gaza, which is suffering from famine-like conditions and near-daily deadly shootings near aid centres, according to UN agencies. 'The Palestinian presidency welcomed US President Donald Trump's announcement of a ceasefire agreement,' president Mahmud Abbas's office said in a statement, adding: 'We demand the completion of this step by achieving a ceasefire that includes the Gaza Strip.' The October 2023 attack that sparked the Gaza war resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. Israel's retaliatory military campaign has killed at least 56,077 people, also mostly civilians, according to figures from the Gaza health ministry which the United Nations considers reliable. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Tuesday said that 'the moment has come' for a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas. Speaking to parliament, Merz reiterated Germany's support for Israel, which he said 'has a right to defend its existence and the safety of its citizens'. But he added that Germany reserves the right to 'critically question what Israel wants to achieve in the Gaza Strip'. He also said that Germany 'will not consider suspending or terminating' the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which has been under review by the EU as it looks to pressure Israel into allowing more aid into Gaza. However, Merz also called on Israel to ensure 'humane treatment of the people in the Gaza Strip, especially women, children and the elderly'. Merz made the comments amid hopes for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran announced by US President Donald Trump, even as the two sides accused each other of continuing hostilities and the US president voiced frustration with both. Israel launched strikes against Iran on June 13, hitting nuclear and military sites as well as residential areas, and prompting waves of retaliatory Iranian missile attacks. Agencies
