A strong relationship with the US has been central to enabling the UAE to ship emergency aid to Gaza, said Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, during US President Donald Trump’s visit to Abu Dhabi. Since the Israel-Gaza war began in October 2023, thousands of tonnes of aid have been sent to Egypt as part of the UAE’s Operation Gallant Knight 3. The signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020, which established diplomatic relations between Israel and the UAE, played a critical role in the humanitarian effort, Sheikh Abdullah said.
