WORLD, Feb. 28 (YPA) -The UAE has provided a platform for Israelis amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza by hosting a promotional  conference titled ‘International Dialogue of Civilizations and Tolerance,’ in an attempt to cover up the state’s autocratic approach, its alliance, and normalization with Israel.

According to the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post, Abu Dhabi hosted a pro-tolerance conference that featured participants from various religions and backgrounds.

According to the newspaper, the conference held under the sponsorship of Emirati Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and the Emirates Scholar Center for Research and Studies.

This is the second consecutive year that the event, known as the International Dialogue of Civilizations & Tolerance Conference (IDCT), has taken place in the UAE’s capital.

According to the conference’s organizers, the event aimed to convene experts from academia, politics, and other sectors to address the ‘core issues at the heart of civilizational dialogue.’

The conference also featured a special entertainment session by Israeli musician Dudu Tassa and Radiohead guitarist Johnny Greenwood with musicians from across the Middle East, as part of their tour dubbed ‘Jarak Qaribak’ (‘Your Neighbor is Your Relative’ in Arabic).
