UAE signals willingness to send troops to Gaza

Special envoy to the UAE foreign ministry Lana Nusseibeh has made comments signalling a willingness by the UAE to send forces to a multinational “stabilisation” mission for post-war Gaza, The Financial Times has reported.

The UAE is the first country to issue such remarks.

Nusseibeh reportedly told The Financial Times the UAE had discussed the plans with the US as a step to fill the vacuum in Gaza and address its massive humanitarian and reconstruction needs.
