A prominent UAE billionaire with ties to Emirati elite has criticized normalisation with Israel following recent statements by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Middle East Eye reported. Ben Gvir had called for nightly killings of Palestinians, prompting the billionaire's rebuke of the remarks.
The billionaire condemned Ben Gvir's statements but stopped short of announcing any concrete policy shifts regarding the UAE's diplomatic relationship with Israel, according to the outlet. The criticism reflects growing tensions over Israeli security policies among some Gulf business figures even as their governments maintain official ties.
