The war on Gaza since October 7, 2023, has exposed the depth of this alliance. The UAE initially refrained from condemning Israeli massacres, instead promoting Tel Aviv\u2019s narrative of a \u201cwar on terror\u201d and explicitly backing so-called \u201cresistance dismantling\u201d plans.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2324\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2324 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-1024x555.jpg\" alt=\"UAE-Israel cooperation\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-1024x555.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu-450x244.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Mohammed-bin-Zayed-and-Benjamin-Netanyahu.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohammed bin Zayed and Benjamin Netanyahu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-11\" data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"2083\">During the Cairo summit in March 2024, while Arab leaders proposed Gaza reconstruction initiatives, credible reports revealed that the UAE lobbied Washington to abandon the plan, even pushing alternatives that would accelerate the displacement of Gaza&#8217;s population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-12\" data-start=\"2085\" data-end=\"2287\">According to Middle East Eye, Abu Dhabi pressured Egypt to open its borders to displaced Palestinians\u2014a move described by rights groups as a veiled form of ethnic cleansing masked as humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-13\" data-start=\"2289\" data-end=\"2324\">Strategy to Strangle Resistance<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-14\" data-start=\"2326\" data-end=\"2728\">The UAE\u2019s campaign goes beyond political maneuvering. According to intelligence sources and testimony cited by journalist Bob Woodward in his book War, Abu Dhabi is covertly backing U.S. and Israeli efforts to eliminate Palestinian resistance militarily, assuring the White House that Arab allies support the mission and are unbothered by Palestinian bloodshed\u2014concerned only about domestic backlash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-15\" data-start=\"2730\" data-end=\"3008\">This strategy aligns with the UAE\u2019s years-long agenda of targeting all resistance movements across the region\u2014from Palestine to Sudan, Yemen, and Lebanon. Abu Dhabi has bankrolled coups and paramilitary forces designed to choke opposition and destabilize supportive governments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-16\" data-start=\"3010\" data-end=\"3171\">Extensive media networks are also weaponized to demonize Palestinian resistance as \u201cterrorism,\u201d blaming it for the devastation inflicted by Israel\u2019s war machine.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-17\" data-start=\"3173\" data-end=\"3223\">Ideological Hostility to the Palestinian Cause<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"3225\" data-end=\"3473\">The UAE&#8217;s hostility toward Palestinian resistance is not purely strategic; it appears deeply ideological. Any successful resistance movement threatens Abu Dhabi\u2019s authoritarian model and offers hope for democratic change\u2014especially within the Gulf.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13675\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13675\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13675 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"Palestinian resistance\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/hamas.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13675\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hamas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-18\" data-start=\"3225\" data-end=\"3473\">\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-19\" data-start=\"3475\" data-end=\"3821\">Hence, the UAE has not stayed neutral. It has participated in psychological and media warfare, promoted alternative Palestinian figures in the West Bank and Jerusalem aligned with Israeli interests, and invested heavily in efforts to \u201creengineer\u201d Palestinian leadership into a compliant, security-coordinating entity that abandons national goals.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-20\" data-start=\"3823\" data-end=\"3862\">Silence in Exchange for Partnership<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-21\" data-start=\"3864\" data-end=\"4144\">Since the war\u2019s start, the UAE has issued only vague calls for \u201crestraint,\u201d avoiding any direct condemnation of Israeli war crimes. It has either abstained or diluted key UN General Assembly resolutions demanding a ceasefire\u2014prioritizing its alliance with Washington and Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-22\" data-start=\"4146\" data-end=\"4443\">Even as some Arab capitals feign discomfort, the UAE forges deeper agreements with Israel, extending beyond trade to include security and strategic cooperation. Despite global calls to halt arms deals with Israel over war crimes, UAE-Israel defense contracts have not slowed\u2014they have accelerated.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-23\" data-start=\"4445\" data-end=\"4466\">Regime vs. People<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-24\" data-start=\"4468\" data-end=\"4741\">Ironically, the UAE\u2019s own citizens, like many across the Arab world, have shown solidarity with Gaza, even under heavy repression. This highlights the chasm between public sentiment and official policy, underscoring how decision-making has been hijacked by elite interests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-25\" data-start=\"4743\" data-end=\"5051\">In this context, the UAE seems to have consciously chosen to align with a colonial power over a besieged people\u2014for the sake of regime stability and elite privilege. This is not passive complicity; it is active collaboration that empowers Israel\u2019s killing machine and legitimizes its settler-colonial agenda.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12285\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12285\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12285 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/j.jpg\" alt=\"While Gaza endures one of the most brutal genocidal campaigns in modern history, the UAE has shifted from pro-Palestinian rhetoric to active complicity\" width=\"1200\" height=\"786\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/j.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/j-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/j-1024x671.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/j-768x503.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12285\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Since signing the Abraham Accords in 2020, the UAE has led the normalization push with Israel, elevating the partnership to unprecedented levels of military, intelligence, and economic cooperation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"ai-optimize-26\" data-start=\"5053\" data-end=\"5095\">A Coalition Against Palestine\u2019s Future<\/h3>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-27\" data-start=\"5097\" data-end=\"5289\">The war on Gaza has shattered the illusion of modernity that the UAE tries to project. A regime that supports the suppression of an occupied population cannot claim to be a beacon of progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-28\" data-start=\"5291\" data-end=\"5465\">By fully aligning with the Zionist project, Abu Dhabi has forsaken basic moral and political principles in exchange for promises of investment, tech, and security guarantees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ai-optimize-29\" data-start=\"5467\" data-end=\"5756\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">But history will not forget.
