His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi and UAE National Security Adviser, has wrapped up an official visit to Washington DC, where he met with US President Donald Trump and several top officials and business leaders.

The UAE has pledged $64.5 million (around AED 236.9 million) to support the operational costs and upgrades at Al Makassed Hospital in East Jerusalem.

The UAE has joined Egypt, Qatar, Palestine, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Turkey in rejecting Israel's renewed attacks in Gaza and calling for the need to move to the second phase of the ceasefire. 

Egypt made a new proposal last week aimed at restoring the Gaza ceasefire deal, security sources said on Monday. The proposal follows an escalation in violence after Israel resumed air and ground operations against Hamas last Tuesday, effectively ending a two-month period of relative calm.

Russia and the United States will discuss resuming a deal to ensure the safety of merchant shipping in the Black Sea, the Kremlin said on Monday, noting that what Moscow saw as key parts of an earlier agreement on the subject were never implemented.

One man was killed and another wounded in a suspected attack on Sunday in northern Israel when a man rammed his vehicle into a bus stop, then stabbed another man and fired shots at passing motorists, emergency services said.
