The UAE’s ambassador to the US Yousef al-Otaiba said that he does not see “an alternative” to US President Donald Trump’s plan for Palestinian displacement from the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.
During a session at the World Government Summit in Dubai, al-Otaiba was asked by his interviewer if common ground could be found with the Trump administration regarding Gaza, he said Abu Dhabi was “going to try” to find common ground with the US president. He termed the US approach to Gaza as “difficult.”
“But at the end of the day, we’re all in a solution-seeking business, we just don’t know where it’s going to land yet,” the diplomat said.
When asked if the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is working on an alternative plan to Trump’s proposal, al-Otaiba responded: “I don’t see an alternative to what’s being proposed. I really don’t.”
“So if someone has one, we’re happy to discuss it, we’re happy to explore it, but it hasn’t surfaced yet.”
