Ali Al Nuaimi, head of the Defense, State and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Federal National Council of the United Arab Emirates, in response to Mohammed Bakr Kalif's criticism of Lana Nasiba's candidacy for UN Secretary General, accused the Islamic Republic of "promoting instability" and said: "Your same destructive literature represents the same area of our psyche." Addressing Kalibaf, Al-Naimi added: "Lana Nasiba represents diplomacy, competence and courage to build communication bridges. "The Middle East deserves a future shaped by peacemakers, not those who profit from conflict."
The Emirati diplomat and former ambassador to the UN, Lana Nasiba, is a candidate to succeed Antonio Guterres. Anwar Gargash, the diplomatic adviser to the president of the United Arab Emirates, also said that the UN was established to resolve disputes, not stabilize hostilities and settle accounts. He added that Nasiba's diplomatic approach naturally arouses opposition from radical movements. Glibaf, on Sunday, November 3, on the X social network, described Nasiba's appointment as an attempt to smooth over the "complete Israel" plan and whitewash what he called genocide in Gaza.
