Netanyah: We're allies of the United States, but we act independently.

During the meeting in Jerusalem with US Vice President J.D. Vance, Netanyahu, noted that when it comes to Israel's security, the country acts independently and in its own interest, reports tvklin broadcast Periscope.

He stressed that the US has interest in a strong Israel, just as Israel has interest in a powerful America.

In a parallel development, meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates have expressed their deep concern over Israel's possible plans for annexing Palestinian territories.

Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, stressed that such a move would be a <x0-line red line “” and would threaten the normalisation process between the two countries.

He underscored the importance of having a safe Israel and a stable Palestinian state, adding that normalising relations has given the Emirates a survey to influence the issue of annexation.

Also, Gargas has indicated that discussions are under way on sending agents and diplomatic personnel to Gaza to monitor the situation.

In this tense situation, media report that Hamas has promised international mediators that he will ban public executions of rival gang members in Gaza.

This movement is seen as an attempt to avoid a new escalation of conflict with Israel, which could use this as an excuse for the resumption of military attacks.

Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya said they are committed to keeping the peace agreement in force and that they want it to last, avoiding escalation.

These developments show that the region remains tense and complicated, where the balance between Israel's security, Palestinian aspirations and the role of foreign powers continues to be very fragile.
