Joe Biden Issued A Statement On The Anniversary Of The Terrorist Attack On The UAE

 The President of the United States (US), Joe Biden, has issued a statement on the anniversary of the terrorist attack on Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which killed three people.

The White House released a statement that stated the United States’ commitment to the safety and security of the Emirati people. Biden reportedly said in a statement, “Working in close cooperation with my friend President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, the United States will continue to support the UAE as it defends itself against threats.”

Biden lauded the UAE's defence system because the UAE shot the two ballistic missiles, which were launched by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi militia. On 17 January 2022, an oil distribution plant in Mussaffah was attacked by the Houthi rebels. The incident killed three people and injured six others.

The tragic incident strengthened UAE's spirit and defence system. At the bilateral level, defence cooperation between the UAE and the US has helped both countries in many ways. The UAE also enhanced defence cooperation with other countries. The 11th India-UAE Joint Defence Cooperation Committee (JDCC) meeting was held in New Delhi, the capital of India, in 2022.

Biden reaffirmed that the US would work with the UAE to bring an end to conflict in the Middle East region. Biden said in a statement, “We reaffirm the United States’ commitment to the safety and security of the Emirati people.”

Biden also praised the UAE for holding the upcoming Cop28 (the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties). Biden said, “As the UAE prepares to host Cop28 this fall to address the various challenges related to climate change, the United States and UAE will continue their work to advance impactful new initiatives, like the Partnership for Accelerating Clean Energy (PACE) and the Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment (PGII).”

PACE was launched by the UAE and the US to work in the field of clean energy and invest around $100 billion in financing and deploying 100 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy by 2035. Recently, the two countries also formed an Expert Group to govern PACE. 

PGII was launched to strengthen and diversify supply chains. It aimed to fund infrastructure projects in developing nations. 

The defence cooperation between the two countries can help to establish peace in the Middle East region and beyond. The two countries can also enhance their measures to bring a peaceful end to the war in Yemen.

Netanyahu’s Shocking Gaza Plan: ‘We Will Take Control of ALL of Gaza’ — But At What Cost?

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security. But as international pressure mounts, his government is walking a tightrope between military dominance and global condemnation. The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault. Arabic-language spokesman Avichay Adraee described the coming attack as ...

The United Arab Emirates has transformed the medical structure of the region as it slowly moves towards attaining leadership in medical treatments and complex procedures. It has stepped up on the list with a pioneering treatment led by Abu Dhabi.

This is an exemplary step in the context of the region as it is the first of its kind treatment here.  On Saturday, the Emirati nation began its experiment to locally manufacture CAR T-Cell treatment at Abu Dhabi Stem Cells Center.
