Next British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s opinion of Middle East

-

 Rishi Sunak is set to become the next prime minister of the United Kingdom after a rival candidate dropped out of the race, the BBC reported today. The former minister and member of the Conservative party will be the first British prime minister of Asian descent and is expected take office within days.



The soon-to-be prime minister has expressed some notable views on the Middle East.


Like others in the Conservative party, Sunak is a strong supporter of UK-Israel ties. He told the Conservative Friends of Israel parliamentary group earlier this year he views Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, according to The Jewish Chronicle in London. He also denounced the characterization of Israel as an apartheid state in an interview with the outlet.


Sunak also backs the UK’s ties with the Gulf states, especially the United Arab Emirates. Former British Defense Secretary Liam Fox told Abu Dhabi’s The National in an interview today that Sunak views the Abraham Accords between the UAE, Israel, Bahrain and Morocco as a “positive development.” Sunak also views the UAE as an “important partner,” according to Fox.


The United Kingdom started negotiations with the Gulf Cooperation Council on a free trade deal in June when former Prime Minister Boris Johnson was in office.

 You have no idea how much I love space and how interesting I find it.  It's such a huge place, will we ever be able to explore at least 1%?  Are we the only beings in the universe? The closest we have been is to the moon and Mars, but I think that for how far along we are, what has been done is not enough.  It's time to send more robots, more astronauts, visit other planets!  Yes, I know you think I'm crazy. The last thing related to space what's up, is the planned launch of a UAE robot to the moon, I hope they send astronauts very soon too!

Astrology, often considered a mystical art, has long been used as a tool for self-reflection and personal growth. While skeptics may question its validity, astrology offers individuals a valuable means of understanding themselves, their emotions, and their relationships with others. In this article, we explore how astrology can serve as a catalyst for self-awareness and personal development.
