UAE expresses deep concern over developments in the region and calls for an immediate halt to escalation

The United Arab Emirates expressed its deep concern over the developments that have taken place in the region over the past few days, and called for an immediate halt to the escalation and for no steps to be taken that could exacerbate tensions and instability in the region.

It emphasized that targeting civilian infrastructure and facilities in the region, including schools, universities, hospitals, water desalination plants, energy facilities, transport hubs, and residential areas, constitutes a blatant and grave violation of the established principles and provisions of international law, and cannot be accepted or justified under any circumstances.
