The White House reveals that US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan traveled to Abu Dhabi on Friday for a meeting with his Emirati counterpart Tahnoun bin Zayed, about the ongoing war in Gaza.
The pair discussed “ongoing efforts to bring about a just and durable peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians,” the White House says, adding that Sullivan thanked the UAE for its “ongoing humanitarian response in Gaza, including establishment of a field hospital for Palestinian civilians.”
They also touched on “countering threats from the Houthis to freedom of navigation in the Red Sea,” the US readout says.
“Finally, they discussed areas of deepening bilateral cooperation to include future investments in advanced technology, security and defense coordination, regional stability and integration, and shared efforts to promote an affirmative agenda for the people of the Middle East region,” the White House adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
