During the 33rd Arab Summit in Manama, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, said that the UAE will continue to stand by the Palestinian cause.

He emphasised the importance of achieving an immediate ceasefire and warned of the dangerous repercussions of any Israeli military operation in Rafah.
