Middle East diplomacy heats up
Middle East diplomacy is heating up ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Washington on Tuesday for talks on the easing of Israel's land blockade of Gaza, and the next steps that can be taken to replace the years-long embargo.
Diplomacy and peaceful approach to disputes will prevail in the region, General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of UAE Armed Forces, said yesterday during a meeting with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
