MoFA summons Israeli Ambassador, condemns in strongest terms offensive, deplorable violations in occupied Jerusalem
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) summoned the Israeli Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, to condemn in the strongest terms the deplorable and offensive violations against the Palestinian people that took place in the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Mosque and in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City. The UAE underscored that these provocative, arbitrary practices represent dangerous incitement against Muslims, and are a flagrant violation of the sanctity of the holy city. The UAE stresses that the continued attacks by Israeli extremists and their incitement to hatred and violence constitute a systematic extremist campaign, that not only targets the Palestinian people but the entire international community, further escalating tensions at a time when efforts should be focused on ending the ongoing tragedy in the Gaza Strip. The UAE calls on the Israeli government to assume full responsibility, condemn these hostile acts, hold perpetrators accountable without exception to ministers and officials, and take urgent steps to prevent the exploitation of Jerusalem for agendas of violence, extremism and incitement. The UAE reiterates that failure to act will be seen as tacit approval that will only further deepen the cycle of hatred, racism, and instability. Furthermore, the UAE emphasised the need to respect the custodial role of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan over the holy sites in accordance with international law and historical status, and not to compromise the authority of the Jerusalem Endowment Administration that manages the affairs of Al-Aqsa Mosque, Qubbat Al Sakhrah, and the surrounding courtyards. The Ministry emphasises the UAE's categorical rejection of all practices that violate resolutions on international legitimacy and threaten further escalation. The UAE underscored the need to respect the status quo of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the importance of protecting all holy sites in Jerusalem, which symbolise coexistence and peace.

UAE condemns killing of Israeli Embassy employees in Washington
The UAE has strongly condemned the shooting incident in Washington DC in which two Israeli Embassy employees were killed after leaving an event hosted by the American Jewish Committee. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) has denounced the act and expressed its condolences and solidarity with the families of the victims and the people of Israel. US authorities have arrested Elias Rodriguez, a Chicago native, as the lone suspect in the attack on Wednesday night. He was charged Thursday in federal court with two counts of first-degree murder, as well as charges of murdering foreign officials. Rodriguez allegedly told police, 'I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,' and witnesses reported hearing him chant 'Free Palestine' while being taken into custody. U.S. officials are investigating the incident, which some advocacy groups have described as a potential act of antisemitism. Separately, the UAE also strongly condemned a recent shooting by Israeli forces that reportedly targeted a diplomatic delegation comprising representatives from the European Union, Arab, and Asian nations near the entrance of the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. The shooting drew criticism from several European countries and added to mounting international pressure on Israel regarding its military conduct in both the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
