Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie wobec konfliktu izraelsko-palestyńskiego po 7 października 2023 roku

THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES’ APPROACH TO THE ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT AFTER OCTOBER 7, 2023 The aim of the article is to assess the effectiveness of the Abraham Accords in the war between Israel and Hamas, which escalated in October 2023. It was con­cluded that the Abraham Accords did not contribute to either stopping military operations in the ongoing war or ending it. The United Arab Emirates main­tained diplomatic relations with Israel while simultaneously supporting the Palestinian cause. This policy was based on strategic calculations and rational decisions that reflected the UAE’s interests and capabilities, and perception of regional dynamics. The research method involved a case study of UAE-Israeli re­lations and tracking the UAE’s approach to engaging with the parties involved in the war. The author of the article analyzes events from October 2023 to January 2025 using mainly excerpts from speeches, official government statements, and the Abraham Accords. Neoclassical realism was chosen as the theoretical frame­work for the study, focusing on the state’s stance towards the war and relations with regional actors.
