Diplomatic sources revealed a message from the UAE that shows that Abu Dhabi is in more hurry than Israel to destroy the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza.
According to these sources, Abu Dhabi believes that the prolongation of Israel’s war against Gaza is a threat to the UAE’s regional plans with Israel, and at the same time it causes damage to the stability and establishment of the region.
These sources pointed out that the UAE is focusing on removing the obstacles to its commercial and economic projects and at the same time, it is trying to expand its regional influence by participating as much as possible in economic projects, even if it is at the cost of the blood of the Palestinians.

Observers believe that Israel’s war against Gaza has cast a heavy shadow on many of the UAE’s regional plans, and at the top of these plans, we can mention the “India-Middle East-Europe Shipping and Railway Connectivity Corridor” plan that is supposed to be between India and Europe, as well as the “Growth and Development” plan which is supposed to be built from Faw port in the south of Iraq to the north of Turkey.
Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza and the UAE’s economic interests in Gaza
The current tensions in the region and the policy that the UAE is trying to play in these two regional plans threaten the country’s interests in the region, especially the unstable situation and the uncertain outlook of the war and the possibility of expanding its scope, all considered a threat to the economic interests of the UAE.
According to the observers, the ongoing Israel war against Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza and the unclear state of Israel’s relations with the countries of the Persian Gulf, Turkey and India on the one hand, and on the other hand, these countries with each other, are a threat to the UAE, which wants to enter economic and introducing himself as the main party of these plans.
In this context, the UAE, as one of the main parties of the economic corridor project between India and Europe, is trying to maintain good relations with India, Israel, the European Union and Saudi Arabia, and in this regard, it is trying to minimize the differences between Abu Dhabi and Washington to a minimum.

According to observers, the desire of the UAE to participate in the growth and development plan between Iraq and Turkey is a very important plan for Abu Dhabi, because it is part of China’s global “Belt and Road” project, the first phase of which is supposed to be put into operation in 2028.
But the economic corridor of India and Europe is still a plan on paper, which the UAE is trying to implement, to be an important factor in establishing a balance between East and West.
UAE condemns Hamas attack on Israel!
All that has been said has caused the UAE to take Israel’s side in recent invasion of Gaza and the massive killing of Palestinians, especially children and women, and to support this regime not only in its killings, but also wants to destroy the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza specially Hamas as soon as possible.
In this regard, the UAE’s Minister of International Cooperation described the operation of Hamas as a “crime” at the UN Security Council meeting and called for a ceasefire.
In a part of his speech in the Security Council, he said that the attacks of Hamas on October 7 are brutal and heinous, and demanded the immediate and unconditional release of the Israeli hostages.
Also, during the first days of Al-Aqsa storm operation, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in a phone call with Israel’s Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and Yair Lapid, the leader of the opposition, expressed support and solidarity with Israel in its war against the Palestinian resistance groups in Gaza.
