UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed discussed Gaza's future in a Fox News interview, stating: "First and foremost, the hostages must be released." He added: "We need calm in Gaza and we need a different authority, not Hamas, to govern Gaza." Bin Zayed shared: "I recently met with Palestinian Authority officials, I think they very much want this war to end. Whether they will have a role in governing Gaza or not depends on the U.S., Israel and others. But ultimately, only Palestinians can manage the Strip."
