The United Arab Emirates has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's suggestion that the UAE should participate in the civil administration of the Gaza Strip under direct Israeli occupation. UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed stated that Netanyahu lacks the legitimate authority to propose such a plan, emphasizing that the UAE refuses to be involved in any scheme that might serve as a cover for Israeli operations in Gaza, especially after the end of the current war. This response comes after Netanyahu's comments suggesting a joint management of Gaza involving the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other countries, which has been widely rebuked by the UAE across various statements and social media platforms.
