A UAE candidate to head the United Nations has finished fourth in the first straw poll for the UN Security Council, per Middle East Eye.

The vote reflects the complex dynamics within the council as member states weigh their geopolitical interests, with the UAE's bid receiving support from several regional allies, Bloomberg reports.

Meanwhile, Exxon and Chevron have canceled executive trips to ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi due to security concerns, Reuters notes, signaling international unease over regional stability.

The UAE has also sentenced eight people to life in prison for supplying arms to Sudan’s army, according to Al Jazeera, adding to growing scrutiny over regional involvement.
