The UAE condemned the Israeli forces' incursion into the Palestinian camp of Jenin, which resulted in deaths and injuries.

In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation called on the Israeli authorities to reduce escalation and not take steps to exacerbate tension and instability in the region.

The ministry stressed the importance of supporting all regional and international efforts to advance the peace process in the Middle East, as well as putting an end to illegal practices that threaten reaching a two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.

The UAE, China and France called on the UN Security Council on Thursday to hold an emergency closed meeting on Friday, on the recent developments in the city of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

The UAE also requested to hear the assessment of Tor Wennesland, the United Nations Special Coordinator, in this regard.
