Abu Dhabi has eased restrictions to allow movement between its cities for all residents starting on Tuesday but extended restrictions on entry into the emirate by non-residents, its media office said on Monday.

Abu Dhabi extended a ban on entering the emirate without a permit for another week, the media office said in a tweet, while allowing residents to exit the emirate freely.

On Sunday, Dubai’s media office said the emirate will allow citizens and residents to travel abroad from Tuesday.

It will also allow foreign visitors to enter from July 7, while foreigners with residency visas will be able to enter from Monday, said the statement.

It added that those entering would have to present certificates to show they had recently tested negative for the coronavirus or would undergo tests on arrival at Dubai airports.

The announcements come more than two months since the United Arab Emirates introduced strict measures to curb the spread of the new coronavirus.

In recent weeks, many of the restrictions have been eased.

The Muslim World League (MWL) expressed strong optimism for the High-Level International Conference for “The Peaceful Settlement of the Palestinian Question and the Implementation of the Two-State Solution”, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and the French Republic.

The conference will take place this week at the United Nations headquarters in New York with broad international participation.

MWL Secretary-General and Chairman of the Organization of Muslim Scholars Sheikh Mohammed Al-Issa said in a statement issued by the General Secretariat that the conference renews hope for revitalizing the peace process in line with established international legitimacy resolutions and the fundamental historical and legal rights of the Palestinian people, which are the pathway to comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the region.

He underscored that the international community must seize the opportunity presented by the conference to stand on the right side of history, adopting a legitimate and responsible stance in support of truth and justice, upholding international legitimacy, and taking decisive action to end this devastating human tragedy and its far-reaching consequences for both the region and the global community

Al-Issa also reiterated the justness of the Palestinian cause, highlighting its deep-rooted significance in both the Arab and Islamic worlds, as well as in the hearts of all who value justice, grounded in established historical and legal truths.
