She also underscored the UAE’s commitment to expanding humanitarian support for Palestinians in Gaza.
Al Hashimy added that the UAE remains focused on advancing a durable peace between Israelis and Palestinians, including through its role as a founding member of the Board of Peace and its membership on the Gaza Executive Board.
