The United Arab Emirates stands with Saudi Arabia to confront challenges, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, has said.

''UAE and Saudi Arabia are standing as partners in one trench to face besetting challenges. Our shared goals are the security of the UAE and Saudi Arabia and the stability of the whole region. We also share a common fate and future,'' he said on Wednesday.

Speaking about the Safir incident in Yemen’s Marib, Sheikh Mohamed said: “We overcame that painful day and became stronger and resolute.”

Saudi State Minister for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir also confirmed that the Kingdom is leading efforts to achieve security and stability in the region to confront the Iranian regime’s attempts to spread chaos and create instability.

The strong ties between Saudi Arabia and the UAE are the basis for such efforts, he said on his Twitter account.

The Saudi-led Arab Coalition works along with UAE’s efforts to achieve security and stability in Aden, Shabwa and Abyan, said Jubeir.

“We will not spare any effort until stability and security is achieved across Yemen,” he added.

Jubeir called on Yemenis to overcome their differences by holding a dialogue that Saudi Arabia has called for.

He also urged them to unite in confronting Iran’s influence.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Wednesday the storming of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The Saudi Foreign Ministry slammed the repeated “flagrant Israeli violations of the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

It also condemned Israeli forces for attacking an UNRWA clinic in northern Gaza, saying it was another in a series of attacks by Israel against UN and relief agencies.

“The Kingdom condemns the continued Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law, underscoring its categorical rejection of everything that may undermine the historic and legal status of Jerusalem and its holy sites,” said the ministry.

It called on the international community to “put a stop to the Israeli war machine that has no regard for any human values or law or international norms.”

It warned that the international community’s failure to deter these dangerous and ongoing violations will undermine opportunities to achieve peace and undermine the credibility of international law, as well as impact regional and global security and stability.
