Albanese discusses Gaza conflict with UAE president

While in the UAE, Anthony Albanese met with the president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and discussed the conflict in Gaza.

Just as I had discussions with the king of Jordan, when I was there, the head of state in New York, certainly the Arab League and the role that they’re playing in pursuing peace is very important.

He’s someone who has been an advocate for peace and we’ll await that. But the world wants to see a ceasefire, wants to see the hostages released, wants to see aid into Gaza, but they also want to talk about the day after and in that that’s why the world also wants to see progress towards a two-state solution.
