UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan outlined his country's priorities for Gaza during a Thursday interview with Fox News, establishing a clear sequence of necessary steps for the region's future.

"First, getting the hostages out, we need calm in Gaza, and we need an authority that is not Hamas that controls Gaza. If we can provide citizens ideas, we are always here to do so," the Emirati minister emphasized.

Based on his recent discussions with senior Palestinian Authority officials, Abdullah bin Zayed noted, "I think they are very much fed up with the current situation and you can hear it from them. They want an end to this war. Now, whether they will have a role or not, that depends on how the US and Israel would help or avoid doing so in the moment but ultimately only Palestinians will run the place."

The foreign minister highlighted his country's substantial humanitarian contribution, stating, "The UAE has provided over 42% of all international aid to Gaza in the last almost two years, during this war. If it wasn't for the Abraham Accords between the UAE and Israel, with the great role that was played by President Trump, I don't think we will be as capable in delivering that much aid into Gaza."

In related developments, UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan announced Thursday that his country is committing to invest $1.4 trillion in the United States over a ten-year period. This announcement came during US President Donald Trump's visit to the UAE following his meetings in Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

President Trump reciprocated by pledging to strengthen ties with Abu Dhabi and announced deals exceeding $200 billion. Both nations also agreed to expand their cooperation in artificial intelligence technologies. Following Thursday's meeting, the White House revealed additional agreements worth $14.5 billion, including UAE airline Etihad Airways' purchase of 28 Boeing 787 and 777X aircraft powered by engines manufactured by American company GE Aerospace.
