UAE condemns Israeli statements on 'Greater Israel'
The UAE on Thursday condemned statements by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the 'Greater Israel' vision. In a statement, the UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the remarks constitute a blatant violation of international law and the UN Charter. The ministry underscored the UAE's categorical rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of Arab states, and called for an end to incendiary statements and actions by extremists in the Israeli government. Mr Netanyahu, in a recent TV interview, said he felt "very much" attached to the idea of Greater Israel, and that he felt a sense of 'historic and spiritual mission" for the country. A "Greater Israel" would almost certainly include areas set aside for a future Palestinian state, and possibly parts of other countries such as Jordan and Egypt. The Arab League strongly condemned Mr Netanyahu's comments. "The statements of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding 'Greater Israel' represent an extremist and arrogant discourse that has long cost the region and its peoples dearly," Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed, said in a post on X.
