# The UAE condemns Hamas’s 7 October attack while keeping Abraham Accords

Date: 2023

## The fact

In October 2023, after Hamas’s 7 October attack on Israel, the UAE condemned the attack, kept the Abraham Accords, and later combined humanitarian aid to Gaza with continued Israeli ties.

## Context

He was president. [Netanyahu](/people/benjamin-netanyahu) prosecuted Israel’s war. Hamas attacked. He did not write an IDF order. Humanitarian airlifts are neighbouring if separately dated. The Accords themselves are 2020.

Abraham Accords 2020. ICC warrants 2024 are neighbouring Israel files.

The president of the United Arab Emirates is elected by the Federal Supreme Council of the seven emirates and is, in this case, also Ruler of Abu Dhabi and supreme commander of the armed forces. He does not write UNFCCC consensus texts by himself, IAEA operating licences, Israeli Knesset statutes, or UN panel reports.

## Evidence and sources

Emirates News Agency carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [humanitarian access](/drivers/humanitarian-access) and political polarisation: keeping Accords while funding Gaza aid is a completed dual-track. It is not authorship of the war and not a finding that aid was sufficient.

## What is established and what is not

Established: October 2023 UAE condemnation of 7 October with Accords kept and a humanitarian track, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later Gaza calorie coefficient from UAE aid, or that the Accords were thereby repealed.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Israel and Hamas fought. UNRWA and others delivered aid. He did not command the IDF.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The UAE condemns Hamas’s 7 October attack while keeping Abraham Accords, not a later speech about The UAE condemns Hamas’s 7 October attack while keeping Abraham Accords.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The UAE condemns Hamas’s 7 October attack while keeping Abraham Accords on 2023-10-16 is not a licence to treat every later Emirates News Agency communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The UAE condemns Hamas’s 7 October attack while keeping Abraham Accords into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He set the UAE dual-track. Israel and Hamas fought. UNRWA and others delivered aid. He did not command the IDF. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
