The United Arab Emirates has called on the United States to back an urgent cessation of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, cautioning that the potential for a broader regional crisis is escalating daily amid the ongoing three-month-long war, Bloomberg reported.

“We need a humanitarian ceasefire now, we can’t wait another 100 days,” the UAE Ambassador to the United Nations, Lana Nusseibeh, said as quoted by Bloomberg.

“The risks are high, the war in Gaza is very clearly an open wound and it’s destabilizing the region,” she added.

She went on to say that the United States has the potential to play a crucial role in alleviating the tensions.

This comes as Gaza's Health Ministry reported that the number of Palestinian martyrs due to the ongoing genocide led by the Israeli army since October 7 has reached 24,927, with 62,388 individuals sustaining injuries.

In December, the World Bank approximated that the Israeli airstrikes had caused harm or destruction to more than 60% of Gaza's infrastructure.

The big picture

President Joe Biden's administration has abstained from calling for a cessation of the Israeli military campaign, and it has also vetoed a United Nations peace proposal presented by the UAE in December.

Just yesterday, during a briefing at the White House, US National Security Council Spokesperson John Kirby maintained the US position against a ceasefire in Gaza, as he explicitly said, "The US still opposes a general ceasefire in Gaza."

Since the commencement of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, there have been nearly daily operations along the Lebanese-Palestinian borders.
 
On Monday, Iran initiated missile strikes targeting an Israeli intelligence facility in northern Iraq. Concurrently, the US and UK aggressions on Yemen are causing disruptions to global trade, and the Yemeni Armed Forces are pursuing their attacks on Israeli vessels or cargo ships transporting goods through the Red Sea to the Israeli entity. Additionally, assaults by Islamic Resistance in Iraq on United States bases in Iraq and Syria are escalating.

“If the objective is not to increase extremism and terrorism in our region, this would be described as the case study for how not to do it,” Nusseibeh concluded.
