The United Arab Emirates said on Thursday it planned to treat 1,000 Palestinian children from Gaza, without saying how they would leave the Israeli-besieged enclave for the Gulf state. UAE state news agency WAM reported President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan had directed hospitals to treat 1,000 Palestinian children "accompanied by their families" from Gaza. It was not immediately clear whether those children and their families would be able to leave Gaza under the deal brokered by Qatar, which involved Israel and the United States. The Emirati foreign ministry did not immediately respond to emailed questions on the UAE's plans to provide treatment and host the Palestinians. Israel's embassy in Abu Dhabi declined to comment. WAM reported the Palestinian children would "return home" after they had received medical care. (Reuters)
