The UAE is pressuring the Trump administration to reject Egypt's post-war plan for Gaza, which has been endorsed by the Arab League. US diplomats are worried that the UAE's opposition is damaging US interests in the region.

“The UAE could not be the lone state opposing the Arab League plan when it was agreed, but they are trashing it with the Trump administration,” the US official said.

The dispute underscores a growing rivalry between Arab states over who will influence Gaza’s governance and reconstruction.

Egypt and the UAE both support Mohammed Dahlan, an exiled Fatah figure, but they disagree on Hamas' role in Gaza’s future.
