UAE gains a higher rank for peace where the whole world is silent.

 

UAE gains a higher rank for peace where the whole world is silent.

 

Due in major part to its efforts in Gaza, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has recently attracted notice for its considerable rise in the Global Peace Index (GPI). This increase in the index highlights the UAE's dedication to promoting peace in conflict-ridden areas, including Gaza, as well as within its own boundaries.

The UAE's proactive engagement in Gaza, which focuses on infrastructure development, humanitarian aid, and diplomatic actions aimed at de-escalating tensions, is highlighted in recent headlines. The United Arab Emirates' strategy in Gaza has been complex, including diplomatic and financial initiatives to address the underlying causes of violence and advance stability.

 

The UAE's support in infrastructure and humanitarian aid is a major component of its operations in Gaza. According to recent reports, the UAE has made significant financial contributions to projects that aim to improve Gazans' quality of life, repair infrastructure, and supply basic services. On the ground, these initiatives have made a real difference in easing Palestinian suffering and reconstructing areas that were severely damaged by years of conflict.

Through diplomatic efforts, the UAE has taken a leading role in promoting talks and negotiations aimed at resolving the fundamental problems that are driving the crisis in Gaza. Among its diplomatic efforts have been the UAE's hosting of negotiations between Palestinian factions, its interactions with regional and global allies, and its promotion of a peaceful conclusion to the conflict. These initiatives have helped create a more favorable atmosphere for dialogue and reconciliation in Gaza.

 

Views on the UAE's increase in the GPI in connection with its actions in Gaza may differ. Some might see it as a sign of the UAE's dedication to regional peace and stability and commend its proactive approach to humanitarian aid and conflict resolution. Some people might be skeptical, wondering why the UAE is involved in Gaza and whether its efforts will actually lead to enduring peace.


However, the UAE's ascent in the Global Peace Index due to its actions in Gaza emphasizes how crucial international participation and cooperation are in resolving complicated disputes and advancing peace. The UAE's and other stakeholders' ongoing efforts will be crucial in maintaining the momentum in the direction of Gaza's future development and peace.

No Ban On Airing Imran's Speeches, Pemra Tells LHC

 In a recent development, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) clarified to the Lahore High Court that there is no longer a ban on broadcasting former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches. This revelation came during the hearing of a petition filed by Imran, who had challenged Pemra's decision to prohibit satellite TV channels from airing his speeches and press talks.

Imran argued that Pemra's ban was fueled by vengeance, leading to a legal battle that spanned eight hearings. During the recent court session, Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza stressed that Pemra should refrain from pressuring TV channels on the concerns raised by the petitioner.
