UAE voices concern over ‘continued escalation,’ urges resolving disputes via diplomacy
Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
Without naming any of the players involved in rising tensions between Israel and the Iranian axis, the UAE rather tamely says it is “closely monitoring the rapid regional developments and expresses its deep concern over the continued escalation and its repercussions on security and stability in the region. ”
Its foreign ministry says that the country “believes that enhancing dialogue, adhering to international laws, and respecting the sovereignty of states are the best foundations for resolving current crises. In this context, the UAE stresses the need to resolve disputes through diplomatic means, away from the language of confrontation and escalation.”
