Khaberni - Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the President of the UAE, stated that Abu Dhabi does not yet see a clear framework for the implementation of the proposed international force to stabilize Gaza, and therefore will not participate in it.
Gargash said at the Abu Dhabi Strategic Forum: "The UAE will continue to support political efforts to achieve peace and will remain at the forefront of countries providing humanitarian aid," according to Reuters.
Gargash confirmed that progress on Gaza depends on reaffirming the principles of the Abraham Accords, which are dialogue, coexistence, and cooperation as the only sustainable way to establish a viable Palestinian state.
The United States, Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey mediated a ceasefire agreement in Gaza aimed at ending the hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
Washington drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution proposing a two-year mandate for a transitional government and an international force to stabilize Gaza.
A draft of the resolution stated that the "international stabilization force" would be authorized to take "all necessary measures" to disarm Gaza, protect civilians, deliver aid, secure the borders of the sector, and support a newly trained Palestinian police force.
US President Donald Trump said last week that this force would be deployed "very soon" and that "work in Gaza is going very well."
A US official stated that the United States has been in touch with several countries, including Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan, to contribute to the force.
Although the United States ruled out sending troops to Gaza, the American official said that about 24 American soldiers are in the region performing coordination and supervisory roles to assist with the preparation for potential deployment.
