Emirati billionaire questions Israel ties after minister's call for Gaza killings
A prominent Emirati billionaire, Khalaf Ahmad al-Habtoor, has publicly questioned the possibility of peace with Israel. His comments follow statements by Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who called for Israeli forces to kill dozens of people in Gaza nightly. Al-Habtoor, who previously championed normalization, described the minister's rhetoric as a dangerous moral decline. The businessman is closely tied to UAE ruling circles, making his criticism notable.
