In their White House meeting earlier today, US Vice President Kamala Harris and UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed “discussed the war in Gaza and efforts to secure a ceasefire and hostage deal,” according to a US readout.
Harris “underscored the importance of protecting innocent civilians and sustaining the flow of life-saving humanitarian assistance. They discussed the importance of continued coordination to bring this war to an end and plan for the Day After.”
“They also discussed the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, and our work to prevent the conflict from escalating and reach a diplomatic solution that would allow populations on both sides of the border to return to their homes,” the US readout adds.
