UAE calls for joint action to protect Palestinian lives

The Federal National Council (FNC) emphasised that the challenges facing the region -ranging from political conflicts and disputes, economic and climate crises, to technological complexities — are increasingly shaping the present and influencing the trajectories of the future.

- 

These challenges place a collective responsibility on all of us to strengthen joint Arab parliamentary action, activate tools of parliamentary diplomacy, promote peaceful solutions, and enhance frameworks of dialogue, integration, cooperation, and Arab solidarity.

This was stated in the FNC's address delivered by Dr. Tariq Humaid Al Tayer, First Deputy Speaker of the FNC and Chairman of the UAE Parliamentary Division delegation to the Arab Inter-parliamentary Union (AIPU), on behalf of Saqr Ghobash, Speaker of the Federal National Council, during the 38th Conference of the AIPU held in Algiers, Algeria, from May 2 to 4, 2025.

The UAE Parliamentary Division stressed the importance of intensifying efforts in parliamentary diplomacy — regionally and internationally — in cooperation with all partners to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid, de-escalation of conflicts, and the protection of civilians in accordance with the rules of international humanitarian law.

Dr Al Tayer stated that the Palestinian cause remains the foremost issue for Arabs, Muslims, and indeed humanity at large.
