Submission specialists headline Arabia v Africa card
11 June 2025 22:12 KUUMAR SHYAM (ABU DHABI)Abu Dhabi is set to host a double dose of mixed martial arts (MMA) action this weekend as UAE Warriors stages its 59th and 60th events at Space42 Arena in Al Raha. With two action-packed cards featuring regional stars and international contenders, fans are bracing for fireworks inside the octagon – especially with two high-stakes main events headlining each spotlight first falls on Friday's regional UAEW 59 or Arabia v Africa card, where Palestinian-Finnish sensation Abdul Hussein meets Algeria's Sami Yahia in a bantamweight main event that is being billed as a clash of silken submission nicknamed "The Limb-Locker", has been nothing short of spectacular since joining the UAE Warriors promotion. Undefeated in three bouts under the banner and five in a row overall, he boasts a trio of memorable finishes: a first-round submission over Mahmoud Abd El Raouf on debut, followed by a second-round TKO of Hansraj Samota, and most recently, a clinical bulldog choke that dispatched Eduardo Mora in Al a stellar Pro MMA Record of 12-2-0, Abdul is swiftly becoming one of MMA's most promising talents. He has been undefeated since his debut loss at Al Etihad Arena, making him a fan favourite in Abu opponent, Sami Yahia, brings a veteran presence to the cage with one defeat in nine bouts and a well-rounded skillset forged on the European circuit. The Algerian-born French fighter is known for combining striking volume with suffocating wrestling and cage control. Ranked among the top 40 bantamweights globally, Yahia will be looking to derail Hussein's momentum and make a title case of his own with a fourth successive victory bout is being framed as a clash of styles: Hussein's ground game is his biggest weapon, and if the fight goes to the mat, he'll be hunting for another slick submission. Yahia, on the other hand, may try to keep the bout standing, using his experience and cardio to drag the younger fighter into deep waters. While fan sentiment is heavily leaning toward Hussein, the main event is anything but a foregone conclusion."I see myself much better in all areas in this MMA," said Hussein while talking about his rival Yahia and the strategic match-up. "If we are standing, I have the advantage. If he takes me down, I will submit him; or I will sweep him and elbow him from the top. So I have been training for all scenarios at two places [in Finland] and I must say this has been my best preparation for any fight."The UFC hopeful even went one step ahead in his show of confidence. "I can already see myself with the belt around my waist and see Dana White [the UFC President] calling me," said Hussein with a mischievous night brings the stakes even higher with UAE Warriors 60, headlined by a clash for the Interim Flyweight Championship between Brazil's Victor Nunes and the UK-based Somalian, Muhidin Abubakar. Nunes enters the bout with a 9–1 record and a reputation as a knockout artist. He'll be aiming to impose his striking game and secure the interim belt with an emphatic across from him will be Abubakar, a grappling specialist riding a five-fight win streak. Known for his durability and submission savvy, he's seen by many as the more complete fighter heading into this matchup. Currently ranked second in the UK and Ireland's flyweight division, Abubakar is fighting not just for the interim title, but to stake a claim for undisputed gold down the line. With the stylistic contrast – striker versus grappler – the fight promises tension and drama. Beyond the two headline acts, both cards feature plenty of intrigue. With potential champions, highlight-reel finishes, and reputations on the line, UAE Warriors 59 and 60 promise to deliver two nights of unmissable action.

Israeli move to cut cooperation with Palestinian banks could devastate economy, EU warns
The EU has warned that Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's order to cancel a waiver on cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian banks could 'devastate' the Palestinian economy and precipitate the collapse of the Palestinian Authority (PA). 'The European Union is deeply concerned by the instruction by Israel's finance minister Smotrich to cancel the waiver on cooperation with Palestinian banks, which could cut them off from the Israeli financial system, devastate an already crippled Palestinian economy, and may lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority,' EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni said. He added that the EU was urging Israel 'to revert this decision immediately and to refrain from any action that could lead to the collapse of the Palestinian Authority'. Cancelling the waiver would require approval by Israel's security cabinet. No date for a vote has been set and it was not clear whether it would pass.

Rights groups accuse Airbnb over listings in illegal Israeli settlements
Rights groups have called for the UK's National Crime Agency to investigate Airbnb over alleged money laundering offences they say it may have committed by listing holiday properties in Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. Airbnb, according to two legal organisations which have brought the complaint, may have violated laws that make it an offence to handle money and property knowingly derived from criminal acts through its more than 300 listings in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. On Tuesday, the organisations - the UK-based Global Legal Action Network (Glan) and Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq - announced that they have filed a criminal complaint with the National Crime Agency over Airbnb's UK subsidiary. Airbnb is currently listed in the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights' database of businesses involved in activities in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights. The filed complaint, one of several coordinated efforts announced on Tuesday, comes after the International Court of Justice July 2024 ruling that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory is illegal. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters 'At a time when we are witnessing genocide in Palestine, businesses like Airbnb are providing services that deny the Palestinian people their means of subsistence, threatening the viability of the group,' said Shawan Jabarin, general director of Al-Haq. 'Following the finding by the International Court of Justice, that Israel's occupation is illegal, business activities trading in goods and services that maintain the illegal occupation, must come to an end.' In 2018, following a Human Rights Watch report which said that Airbnb's listings in settlements were unlawful under international humanitarian law, the company said it would remove listings in the settlements. But the company decision was reversed after legal action was brought in the US by hosts and guests of the listed properties, with Airbnb saying it would donate all proceeds from the rentals to humanitarian organisations. A spokesperson for Airbnb said on Tuesday that the company operates "in compliance with applicable Irish and US laws". "Since 2019, Airbnb has donated all profits generated from host activity in the West Bank to an international nonprofit, in line with our global framework on disputed territories," the spokesperson said. In addition to the complaint filed in the UK, Glan has also filed a legal challenge at Ireland's High Court after the Irish police refused to investigate the role of Airbnb Ireland in facilitating the listings of settlements. Additionally, Glan has sent a 'preservation letter' to Airbnb's parent company, the first step in proceedings under the US Foreign Legal Assistance statute which allow for the discovery of documents to support the Irish and UK actions. Glan senior lawyer Gerry Liston said: 'These are the first ever cases to apply anti-money laundering legislation in the UK and elsewhere to business activity in the illegal Israeli settlements. "They demonstrate that senior executives of companies profiting from Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory risk prosecution for a very serious criminal offence.'
