UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has welcomed the intention of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to recognise Palestinian statehood.
On Tuesday, Starmer said the UK was prepared to recognise a Palestinian state in September at the United Nations General Assembly, becoming the second Western power to do so after France last week.
During the phone call, the two leaders underscored the importance of advancing towards a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution as the path to fostering stability in the region.
Sheikh Mohamed also emphasised the need to reach an urgent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and ensure the unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians.
During the talks, the two sides also affirmed the two countries' commitment to supporting all efforts aimed at strengthening regional security and stability, national news agency Wam reported.
The leaders also discussed cooperation between the two nations and explored ways to enhance bilateral ties.
