1. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for
Foreign Affairs, Shaykh Hamdan bin Zayed (HbZ),
reacted to the International Court of Justice (ICJ)
advisory opinion on the Israeli security barrier
(reftel) by urging the international community to live
up to its responsibilities, and by calling for a
mechanism to implement the ruling. According to the
Emirates News Agency statement carried in the local
press on July 12, HbZ said that the ICJ ruling
reflects the view of the world, and he commended the
court for urging Israel to "dismantle the wall of
racism, which the Israelis were building with the aim
of seizing more Palestinian lands." He urged the
Quartet to regard the ICJ ruling as an integral part
of the roadmap. "The construction of this wall will
destroy the chances of peace in the region," he said.
Post had shared reftel points with Shaykha Nejla Al
Qasimi, special assistant to MFA Under Secretary
Abdullah Rashid Al Nuaimi, on July 10.
2. In a July 11 meeting with visiting Palestinian
Public Works and Housing Minister, Dr. Abdul Rahman
Hamad, HbZ said that the UAE would continue to provide
development and housing aid to the Palestinian people.
