UAE Warns Israel Against West Bank Annexation
The UAE is warning Israel not to take over more land in the West Bank.
They say this would be a very bad idea and could hurt the peace process and their relationship.
The UAE is worried because some Israeli officials want to do this.
They are concerned it could ruin the Abraham Accords, which helped countries in the Middle East work together.
The UAE believes it will damage the pursuit of peace and regional integration.
This is the strongest warning the UAE has given since the start of the war in Gaza almost two years ago.
UAE warned Israel against annexing Palestinian territory in the West Bank.
Annexation would undermine peace efforts and regional integration, according to the UAE.
The warning represents the sharpest rebuke the UAE has directed at Israel since the start of the war in Gaza.
UAE and Saudi leaders discussed regional developments and peace.
French President Emmanuel Macron and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed will co-chair a conference on the two-state solution.
