UAE calls Israeli annexation plan a 'red line', warns of Abraham Accords fallout

The United Arab Emirates has warned Israel that any attempt to annex parts of the occupied West Bank would cross a “red line” and risk derailing the Abraham Accords. A UAE official stated that the accords were viewed as a way to support the Palestinian people's aspiration for an independent state, a position that remains unchanged. This warning marks Abu Dhabi’s strongest rebuke of Israeli policies since the Gaza war began in 2023. The UAE has called on the Israeli government to suspend its annexation plans and prevent extremists from dictating the region's trajectory.
