UAE slams Israel call Arab to fund Iran war

United Arab Emirates condemned Israel’s Finance Minister after He called Gulf states to fund war on Iran to defeat the regime.

Dr Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to UAE President Sheikh Mohamed, on Monday slammed a call from the ultra-right Israeli Finance Minister for Gulf funding for Israel’s war on Iran.

“The audacity of Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich has reached the point of calling for Gulf (and German, French, and British) funding for Israel’s war on Iran,” he said in a post on X.

The UAE, as well as other Gulf states, have condemned Israeli strikes on Iran that began last week.

“Such a proposal is nothing but moral bankruptcy from an extremist who fails to grasp the consequences of escalation,” Dr Gargash said.
