DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates leader told the United States' secretary of state on Wednesday that his country rejects a proposal to displace Palestinians from their land, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's comments came after U.S. President Donald Trump proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza and resettling its Palestinian inhabitants in Jordan and Egypt, prompting widespread opposition among Arab countries and Western allies.

Nahyan told U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio during a meeting in Abu Dhabi that it was important to link the reconstruction of Gaza to a path leading to "a comprehensive and lasting peace based on the two-state solution" to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

The UAE's stance on the conflict is important because it is one of four Arab countries that normalised ties with Israel during the first Trump administration and because it has played a role financing reconstruction work after previous conflicts.

1. UAE should also provide security as well..................

because BiBi, the Israeli RWers as well as shithole musk republicans and the US RWers want Gaza.

2. Good. The UAE has money. That's the only thing the Evil Axis of Rump, Musk, and Putin care about. Maybe the UAE will

be able to stop the taking of Gaza.

3. Arab nations should tell Trump to go take a hike with his Gaza ideas.

Saudi’s MBS seems to like Trump because he is so easily manipulated with praise and money, but he knows the Palestinians have nowhere to go and he has leverage over the US. The Saudi-owned Aramco owns the largest oil refinery in the US, which is in Port Arthur, Texas. Imagine what a threat to shut down this facility for a month or so would do to gas prices here. Trump’s oil billionaires would have fits. Trump would back off his Gaza plan soon after. The real problem now is Netanyahu and his extremist right-wing government who have Trump’s tacit support to clear out all of Gaza.
