The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has condemned the recent attacks by Hamas on Israel, calling them "serious and unacceptable." The UAE Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Sunday saying that the attacks were "displacing Israeli civilians from their homes and causing suffering."
The statement went on to say that the UAE "strongly condemns these attacks and calls on all parties to immediately cease hostilities and return to dialogue."
The UAE is the first Muslim country to normalize relations with Israel, and its support for Israel in the face of Hamas attacks is a significant development. The UAE's condemnation of Hamas is likely to put pressure on other Arab countries to follow suit.
The UAE's support for Israel is also likely to further isolate Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which have been condemned by the international community for their rocket attacks on Israel.
The UAE's support for Israel is a positive development for regional peace and stability. It is also a sign of the growing ties between the UAE and Israel.
