The UAE strongly condemned the Israeli attacks on the Palestinian city of Jenin and its camp through air strikes and shootings, which resulted in deaths and injuries.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs called on the Israeli authorities to reduce escalation and not take steps to exacerbate tension and violence in the Palestinian territories.

The Ministry stressed the importance of supporting all regional and international efforts to stop the escalation of tension and push for the revival of the peace process in the Middle East, as well as putting an end to illegal practices that threaten reaching a two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
