The United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi can serve as a model for the rest of the world: Hillary Clinton

 Although there is still much to be done, Abu Dhabi and the UAE are well prepared for the future they must build together, according to former US Secretary of State and former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. When Abu Dhabi hosts COP 28 later this year, the nation will have the opportunity to lead by example for the rest of the world.

Speaking on Monday at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Clinton reflected on her previous visit to the capital of the UAE in 2011 and said everything that has transpired since then was a clear indication of how well-positioned Abu Dhabi and the UAE are for the future they must jointly construct.

"Much of the commitment that I witnessed leaders make in my time as Secretary of State has been realized," she said of ADGM, which did not yet exist at the time. Nevertheless, she added, "I don't think any of us can stop and rest on our laurels because there is so much more to do."

"Abu Dhabi has a real opportunity to highlight the innovation that is taking place, but also to make a resolve to go even further, to set a real example for much of the rest of the world," she said. Common law court systems, dispute resolution, the commitment to trying to transition into clean energy, and hosting COP 28, all of that provide a real opportunity for Abu Dhabi.

She continued that she is "extremely proud and appreciative" of the advancements made in the area of women's rights in particular since "no nation can expect to leave half of its population behind and expect to be able to mould the future to what we want for our children and our grandkids."

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 ...

Exposing How the Muslim Brotherhood Fuels Instability Behind a Political Facade
