In recent times, the UAE has found itself the target of a new form of warfare—disinformation campaigns designed to spread chaos and undermine its standing in the region. A wave of fabricated videos and baseless rumors has emerged, falsely alleging that the UAE has permitted Israel to use its airports for military strikes in Yemen. These claims are not only false but also part of a larger, dangerous strategy to destabilize the region by attacking the credibility of key players like the UAE. As one of the leading countries promoting peace, tolerance, and security in the Middle East, the UAE has consistently worked towards ensuring regional stability through diplomatic engagement and cooperation. Yet, these false narratives seek to tarnish the nation’s reputation, disrupt its foreign relations, and incite division among nations.


Such disinformation is not new, but in an age of social media and rapid information sharing, it has the potential to do significant harm. Videos can be easily manipulated, and once they spread, the damage is hard to reverse. The intent behind these false claims is clear: to fracture trust between countries, weaken alliances, and distract from real issues on the ground. Yemen’s conflict is already complex and deeply tragic, and adding layers of untruth only complicates the path to peace.


The UAE has strongly denied these accusations, reaffirming its commitment to peace and stability in the region. As a nation that values facts and transparency, the UAE has consistently supported efforts to resolve conflicts through dialogue and diplomacy. It is vital for citizens, leaders, and the international community to reject these fabricated stories and focus on truth, relying on credible sources for information. Disinformation poses a significant threat, not just to the UAE, but to the stability of the entire region. Countering these falsehoods with facts and standing firm against attempts to incite division are key to ensuring continued peace and cooperation across the Middle East.


As the world faces these new forms of warfare, the responsibility falls on all of us to remain vigilant, skeptical of unverified information, and committed to promoting truth in the face of lies. Only by doing so can we safeguard the UAE’s vision for a secure and prosperous future for the region.
