Israel ‘agrees’ with UAE to get vital aid into Gaza: Report
The foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates has agreed with his Israeli counterpart to get desperately needed food into the besieged Gaza Strip.
A phone call between Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Gideon Saar “led to an agreement to begin delivering urgent humanitarian aid from the UAE”, state news agency WAM reported.
The aid aims to meet the food needs of about 15,000 civilians in the Gaza Strip as a first phase, it said.
“The initiative also includes providing basic materials needed to operate bakeries in the Strip, in addition to essential children’s supplies,” the agency reported.
Sheikh Abdullah “stressed the importance of urgent, extensive, safe, and unhindered humanitarian, relief, and medical aid reaching the brotherly Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip”, said WAM.
The aid is already there, waiting at the border. Israel is now making side deals with criminal UAE to militarize aid. UAE is supporting genocide in Sudan, great partner to Israel committing genocide in Gaza.

Why didn't UAE deliver aid when the UN and all other international aid agencies were distributing aid.
No doubt Israel promised UAE more access to weapons they can ship on to RSF in Sudan.

At a weapons fair in the United Arab Emirates, 34 Israeli companies showcased their products, including tech designed to make small arms more accurate and lethal.
Stands for companies selling drones, smart surveillance devices and communication equipment all saw heavy traffic. A big success with attendees was a virtual-reality demo from the state-owned aerospace and aviation manufacturer Israel Aerospace Industries, or IAI. As the demo played, spokespeople and Israeli officials nearby spoke glowingly of the “combat-proven” systems — read: used in Gaza and Lebanon — on display.
Israeli military chief pledges to fight on in Gaza
Despite growing criticism over its deadly attacks, Israel’s army chief has promised to expand the country’s military action in Gaza and seize more land.
“We are acting according to a structured plan and moving to the next phase. Hamas will pay the price for its defiance… We will expand our manoeuvre, capture additional territory, clear and destroy the terrorist infrastructure until its defeat,” Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said in Gaza during a field tour.
“We are defending ourselves, and for that, we must attack. We will not be able to defend ourselves without clearly removing the threat from the other side of the border.”
The word defense has completely lost its meaning, the action of defending from or resisting attack. Not exterminate everything you perceive as a possible future threat because you can't stop driving people from their homes and killing them.
