War has returned to Israel. Israelis have spent the last days in their safe rooms and in public

bomb shelters. Buildings have been hit and tragically, civilians have been killed. As Israel and the United

showing up in the first minutes to evacuate people stuck in buildings, supply medical care to the

wounded, and provide first aid to many others impacted. Their volunteers are often in

the critical first minutes after rocket impact. Their services, which are always free, are a vital

lifeline to the people of Israel. You can make sure that they have the life-saving equipment and supplies

they need right now, bulletproof vests and helmets, tactical stretchers for evacuations,

oxygen kits, and whatever else they need to meet this moment in Israel. Visit Israelrescue.org

What would the UAE tell itself at the end of this war?

I think that without an agreement of some sort of a capitulation,
