The UAE has announced a further $1.2 billion for supporting Gaza through the Board of Peace.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced the contribution during his participation in the first meeting of the Board of Peace held in Washington under the chairmanship and invitation of US President Donald Trump, said a WAM news agency report.

The meeting brought together a distinguished group of heads of state, senior officials, and international decision-makers as part of a coordinated effort to activate peace frameworks, support reconstruction pathways, and develop sustainable approaches that enhance long-term stability in the region.

Sheikh Abdullah’s participation in the meeting came at the start of a working visit to the US, reflecting the depth of the strategic partnership between the UAE and the US, and the shared commitment of both sides to strengthening international efforts aimed at consolidating the foundations of regional security and stability.

Sheikh Abdulah said the UAE has managed to work with Israel in providing, since the war started, almost $3 billion of assistance to the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Attending the meeting also were Reem Al Hashimy, Minister of State for International Cooperation, and Yousef Al Otaiba, UAE Ambassador to the US.
