As you go back to February and look at the arc of this conflict, what has driven the UAE response and why is that different from the Saudi response or Qatari or some of the others around you?

Well, I'll take you back a little bit earlier.

With the fall of Saddam Hussein, 2003, 2004, I think for us, this is a sort of vital point here.

Because again, what we saw is a whole change of geostrategic shifts in the region as a result of the fall of the Baathist regime in Iraq.

So one of the things I consider very important is that usually you have a huge event like the current war.

It takes years for you to really understand the full, let's say, impact of such an event.

Taking that into account, from the fall of Saddam to the rise of ISIS, which was also very much related to the fall of Saddam, you had the gap of around close to 10 years.

What can the UAE be doing to put pressure on the RSF, especially to try to bring that war to the end? What's the path there? Well,

What would you like to see the U.S. administration do that they are not currently doing to help and support you?

Well, again, I have to say that these things are going to be, the relationship with the United States, counter to some of the op-eds that I have read, I think is going to be much, much stronger with the GCC as a result of this conflict.

I think it will be much stronger, not less strong.

And let me tell you why is that.

I think the GCC has actually come to a much more realistic expectation with regards to the American rule in this decade.

These are not expectations that are linked to the old Carter doctrine and issues like that.

The energy also now is changed and so on and so forth.

Thanks.
