TIME is running out to prevent the risk of igniting a wider war in the Middle East.
This was the UAE’s dire warning amid desperate calls for an immediate ceasefire in the war-torn enclave.
In a recent interview, UAE Ambassador to the United Nations, Lana Nusseibeh said the world can’t wait another 100 days for another ceasefire to happen.
She added that the risk of a regional conflict is growing daily, with the fighting now exceeding three months.
The war in Gaza stoked concerns of wider destruction amid the exchange of attacks involving Israel and the US with Iran and its proxies in the region.
The fighting between Israel and Hamas is already showing signs of a potential spillover amid an onslaught of crises in the Middle East which started from the conflict between Israel and Hamas, the exchange of gunfire with Iran-backed Hezbollah, followed by Iran-backed groups targeting U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria as well as American and British forces trading strikes with Houthi rebels.
Israel has rejected calls for a permanent ceasefire until all hostages held by Hamas are freed. Efforts to secure a ceasefire and negotiations for Palestinian sovereignty continue through its mediators in the Arab world like Qatar and Egypt.
