  • The UAE has sent 155 aid convoys under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3

DUBAI: The more UAE aid convoys crossed into the Gaza Strip this week through Egypt’s Rafah border crossing to bring various humanitarian supplies for Palestinians affected by the devastating Israeli offensive.

The convoys, part of the Operation Chivalrous Knight 3 initiative, comprise 25 trucks laden with over 309.5 tonnes of humanitarian aid, including food supplies, shelter tents and other essential items, state news agency WAM reported on Saturday.

The UAE has sent 155 aid convoys under Operation Chivalrous Knight 3, with approximately 29,584 tonnes of humanitarian supplies delivered so far for the Palestinian people.

A ceasefire early Sunday morning is expected to provide relief to the besieged enclave’s population, and despite an Israeli ban on the UN’s aid agency for Palestinians from operating in the conflict-ridden area.

  • Press secretary Karoline Leavitt says there has been 'good progress' in Syria since Trump lifted sanctions

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump plans to meet with Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday, press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday at a press briefing.
Since seizing power from Bashar Assad last December, Al-Sharaa has made a series of foreign trips as his transitional government seeks to re-establish Syria’s ties with world powers that had shunned Damascus during Assad’s rule.
Trump has sought good relations with Al-Sharaa. In June he revoked most US sanctions against Syria, and Trump met with the Syrian leader when he visited ֱ last May.
“When the president was in the Middle East, he made the historic decision to lift sanctions on Syria to give them a real chance at peace and I think the administration, we’ve seen good progress on that front under their new leadership,” she said.
