CryptoWorld News reports that a UAE official said on Wednesday local time that the UAE is reassessing its role and contributions in multilateral organizations, but is not currently considering any further withdrawal. The day before, the UAE announced that it was leaving OPEC and OPEC+. Speculation suggests that after this, the UAE could also withdraw from the Arab League or the Gulf Cooperation Council. The UAE is one of OPEC’s largest oil-producing countries, and its exit has widened the rift with Saudi Arabia. The two countries were once steadfast allies, but now compete fiercely in areas such as oil policy, geopolitics, and the contest for talent resources. Since the outbreak of the Iran war, the UAE has been re-evaluating its alliance ties and has criticized the GCC for its inadequate response to the conflict. UAE senior official Gergash said at a meeting on Monday that the GCC’s political and military stance “is the weakest in history.” He emphasized that “strategic autonomy remains the UAE’s enduring choice.”
