Speaker’s address during FNC session

Saqr Ghobash, Speaker of the Council, stated during the eighth session of the third ordinary term of the 18th legislative chapter in Abu Dhabi that the incident represents an attack on state security and public safety, as well as a violation of UAE laws and a betrayal of the homeland, which provides safety, stability, and dignity under the rule of law.

Rejection of extremist behaviour
