Vae discuss a possible role in the post -war Gaza, but conditions are missing

The United Arab Emirates (VAE) are in discussions about a possible role in reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the war. An official representative of the VAE announced that the conditions have not yet been met.

netanyahu and the role of the VAE

Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the VAE, Saudi Arabia and other countries as potential partners to support the administration of the area after the war. However, the VAE have already explained that they do not want to be involved in plans that aim to legitimize the Israeli presence in the Gaza Strip.

Requirements for the participation of the VAE

"Although there were many informal discussions, the parties involved have not yet agreed on the preliminary conditions of the VAE to participate in any post-war efforts in Gaza," said the UAE representative to CNN on Tuesday. This was done in response to a report by the Reuters news agency, in which discussions between the VAE, Israel and the USA were mentioned. In these conversations it was discussed that the VAE, the USA and other nations temporarily take over the governance, security and reconstruction of Gazas after the war.

formal invitation and reforms

The UAE representatives pointed out that the preliminary conditions of the VAE include a formal invitation from a new, credible and independent Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority (PA). Furthermore, a serious reform process within the PA, a clear commitment to Israel for the two-state solution and a clear leadership role in the USA are required.

corruption and change of leadership in the PA

The VAE has long been committed to reforms within the PA, which is widely affected by corruption, and call for a change of management. Mohammed Mustafa was appointed Prime Minister of the PA in March and succeeded Mohammed Shayyeh, which had resigned in February.

position of Israel on Pa

Israel's officials have publicly rejected the possibility that the PA based in West Bank plays a role in post-war Gaza.

private military company and peacekeeping

Reuters also reported, citing diplomats and western officials, that representatives of the VAE had proposed private military contract companies as part of a peace safety operation in Gaza. The representative of the VAE, who spoke to CNN, rejected this.

VAE and the normalization of relationships with Israel

The VAE normalized their relationships with Israel in 2020 as part of the so-called Abraham Agreement and have maintained these relationships during the Gaza War.

A previous version of this report pointed out that the talks with the USA and Israel were mentioned in the introduction. This was corrected.
