The United Arab Emirates has strongly condemned recent attacks and threats against civilian infrastructure across the Middle East, including schools, hospitals, energy facilities, ports and residential areas, the state news agency WAM reported.
In a statement, the UAE’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan denounced the targeting of essential services and civilian sites as a blatant violation of international law that has caused civilian casualties, widespread fear and disruption across the region.
The ministry warned that expanding the conflict beyond military objectives to include energy installations, airports and international transport routes not only threatens regional stability but also jeopardizes the global economy and critical supply chains.
“The deliberate assault on civilian infrastructure represents an alarming escalation that cannot be justified,” the UAE said, calling for an immediate end to hostilities and full protection of civilians and civilian facilities.
The remarks come against the backdrop of a wider Middle East conflict that began on 28 February 2026 with coordinated strikes by the United States and Israel on targets in Iran, triggering retaliatory missile and drone attacks across the region and raising international concern over the prospect of a broader war and its impact on global security.
