Amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have issued a rare joint statement calling for maximum self-restraint to avoid the dangers of war in the Middle East. This collaboration comes as both nations express concerns over regional stability, particularly in Jordan, where recent protests have shown support for Hamas and threats by an Iraqi militia leader to flood the country with weapons. The statement reflects a unified effort by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed, who also reaffirmed their commitment in a phone call with the Emir of Qatar, to mitigate potential regional conflicts, despite their recent differences.
