The Knesset approved on 23/7/2025 a non-binding motion in favor of annexing the West Bank and Jordan Valley, citing Israel’s “natural, historical, and legal right.”
In response, UAE President Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed (MBZ) is working to limit the impact of this motion.
The note provides a comprehensive overview of the following aspects:
- MBZ’s stance on the Knesset decision and the U.S. role
- UAE’s strategy to prevent the formalization of the Knesset decision
- Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah and National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon’s role in this regard
The note also mentions MBZ’s stance on the path of the normalization of ties with Israel following the escalation in Gaza and the Knesset’s decision.
