UAE categorically rejects Netanyahu's 'Greater Israel vision'
The UAE has strongly condemned and denounced the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the 'Greater Israel Vision', affirming its categorical rejection of these provocative statements, which constitute a blatant violation of international law and the United Nations Charter. In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reaffirmed the UAE's absolute rejection of any threat to the sovereignty of sisterly Arab states, and called for the extremist members of the Israeli government to cease making statements or carrying out provocative acts. It also stressed the need to halt all settlement and expansion plans that threaten regional stability and undermine prospects for peace and coexistence in the region and among its peoples. The Arab League earlier condemned in the strongest terms the statements made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the annexation of parts of the territories of sovereign Arab states, in preparation for the establishment of what he called 'Greater Israel'. The league considered these statements to be a violation of the sovereignty of Arab states and an attempt to undermine security and stability in the region. In a statement released Tuesday, the league said these remarks represent a serious threat to collective Arab national security and a flagrant challenge to international law and the principles of international legitimacy. The statements also reflect expansionist and aggressive intentions that cannot be accepted or tolerated, and they reveal an extremist mindset steeped in colonial delusions.
