The United Arab Emirates has welcomed the agreement of a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, commending the diplomatic efforts of United States President Donald Trump.

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan received the credentials of a number of newly appointed ambassadors to the United Arab Emirates.

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, said that the completion of Dubai’s first air taxi station marks a strategic leap in the emirate’s journey to lead the future of urban mobility.

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that Israeli and Lebanese leaders had agreed to begin a 10-day ceasefire at 5 p.m. EST (2100 GMT).

The US naval blockade of Iran is just an example of 'polite' behaviour during the ongoing ceasefire and US forces are ready to strike Iran's power plants and energy industry if ordered, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said on Thursday.

Speakers of the legislative councils of the Gulf Cooperation Council have stressed the importance of adopting a unified Gulf position and working toward resolutions at the Inter-Parliamentary Union condemning recent Iranian attacks on GCC states.
