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.

Egypt and Kuwait Align on Gaza Reconstruction, Reject Displacement

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi concluded a three-day Gulf tour on Tuesday with a visit to Kuwait, following a stop in Qatar.

He held high-level talks with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, in discussions described by analysts as both politically and economically significant given the volatile regional climate.

At the heart of the Egyptian-Kuwaiti summit were developments in the Gaza Strip, with both nations reaffirming the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire, the continuation of hostage and detainee exchanges, and the rapid entry of sufficient humanitarian aid, said a statement from the Egyptian presidency.

Both Cairo and Kuwait City expressed full support for the Arab plan to rebuild Gaza, stressing the importance of implementing the plan without delay once a ceasefire is reached.

The two leaders also reiterated their firm opposition to any forced displacement of Palestinians and underscored the need for a just and comprehensive resolution to the Palestinian issue — one that ensures the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Sisi's visit underscored what Egyptian MP Mostafa Bakry described as “a unified and coordinated stance between Egypt and Kuwait, as well as with other Gulf and Arab nations, during a critical period for the region.”

He noted that the outcome of the talks demonstrated “a shared commitment to ending the war in Gaza and moving quickly to implement the Arab reconstruction plan — a key objective that signals to the world the Arab world’s unified rejection of displacement and any efforts to erase the Palestinian cause.”

Beyond Gaza, Sisi and Sheikh Meshal also discussed broader regional developments, including the ongoing crises in Syria and Sudan. The leaders expressed support for the sovereignty and stability of the two nations, along with continued backing for Yemen’s legitimate government.

They also emphasized the strategic importance of safeguarding maritime security in the Red Sea and regional waterways.

In remarks carried by the Egyptian presidency, the Kuwaiti Emir hailed Sisi’s visit as a testament to the “deep and historic ties” between their countries, calling it an opportunity to strengthen cooperation across multiple sectors — particularly economic and investment-related areas.

Sisi, for his part, affirmed Egypt’s commitment to expanding its partnership with Kuwait, especially in economic cooperation. He underlined the importance of increasing bilateral trade and investment to serve the mutual interests of both peoples.
