  2. “Mr. Almutawa (United Arab Emirates) (spoke in Arabic): I would like at the outset to thank the penholder, France, for facilitating the negotiations on resolution 2641 (2022).

  3. “In conclusion, we affirm that the gravity of the situation in the Middle East requires the international community to pay serious and credible attention and the Council to assume its responsibilities to end all destabilizing acts and practices, including violence by extremist and terrorist groups with the support and funding of certain States, and to hold accountable the parties responsible for the outbreak and continuation of conflicts in the region.”

  4. “As the international community, we share a collective responsibility to avoid conflict and tension in the region and to prevent any party from attempting to undermine the security and safety of maritime navigation and global energy supplies. Sabotaging and threatening commercial ships and the lives of their crew is a serious development that threatens not only maritime trade, but broader regional stability. The United Arab Emirates emphasizes the importance of ensuring freedom of navigation and the integrity of energy supply lines and of safeguarding the security of sea lanes and straits, particularly the Straits of Hormuz and Bab Al-Mandab. My country also stresses the need for patience, wisdom and good judgment, and calls on all parties to prioritize diplomacy and to restore stability in the regional.”

  5. “The United Arab Emirates has provided a total of $5.5 billion in assistance to Yemen since 2015. My country is following with great concern the latest development in Syria and Libya. We stress that a political solution is the only way to end these crises. We call on all parties concerned to sit at the negotiating table and find a solution to the protracted crises within the framework of the relevant Council resolutions. In that context, we express our concern about the exploitation by terrorist groups of the security vacuum in Libya and the growing migrant tragedy in the Mediterranean, which makes it more difficult to reach a peaceful solution to the crisis. We call for concerted efforts to end the crisis and restore stability in Libya.”

  6. “The Houthi attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia undermine the prospects for progress in the implementation of the Stockholm Agreement and the ceasefire in Al-Hudaydah at a time when the United Arab Emirates and the Arab coalition are providing an opportunity for peace by redeploying forces in Yemen and promoting political efforts aimed at a comprehensive solution. On the humanitarian front, my country strongly condemns the practices of the Houthi militias, which have exacerbated the humanitarian crisis through the looting of humanitarian aid and the denial of access to its intended beneficiaries. The United Arab Emirates will continue to work with the United Nations and key partners to improve the humanitarian situation and meet the needs of the brotherly Yemeni people.”

  7. “We emphasize that there is no military solution to the conflict and a political solution is the only way forward. The United Arab Emirates condemns in the strongest terms the attacks by Houthi militias on the territory of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the use of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as the ongoing threat posed to navigation in the Red Sea. The situation calls for the Council to take more decisive measures to end these Violations and prevent the flow of Iranian weapons to Yemen, which is a flagrant Violation of resolutions 2216 (2015) and 2231 (2015).”

  8. “Based on my country's long-standing support for the Palestinian people, in 2017 and 2018 the United Arab Emirates provided more than $364 million to our Palestinian brothers and to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. We renew our commitment to supporting regional and international efforts to advance the Middle East peace process. The United Arab Emirates also renews its commitment, within the coalition, to supporting the legitimate efforts to reach a political solution in Yemen, based on the relevant Council resolutions, including resolution 2216 (2015) and 2451 (2018). In that connection, we reiterate our support for the efforts of the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen to implement the Stockholm Agreement and relaunch the political process.”

  9. “We emphasize the need for Israel to cease its illegal practices of Judaization, creating new facts on the ground, expanding settlements and demolishing Palestinian property, the latest incidence of which was the demolition of 70 houses in East Jerusalem yesterday. We emphasize the need for the international community to take all measures necessary to end these grave violations, given their grave implications for the security and stability of the region as a whole. In our quest for a just and comprehensive solution, we must not lose sight of the deteriorating humanitarian situation in the occupied Palestinian territories or of the importance of continuing and intensifying humanitarian assistance.”
