Journalism

Al Ketbi wrote for newspapers and media outlets including Gulf News,[3] The Jerusalem Post,[4] Israel National News,[5] Al Arabiya,[6] the London-based Al-Arab,[7] Morocco's L'Opinion,[8] Libération,[9] L'Économiste,[10] Al-Alam,[11] Hespress[12] and Article19,[13] Sada El Balad in English[14] and Arabic, Med Israel for fred,[15] as well as some research centers.[16] Al Ketbi writes on UAE national security, Iranian foreign policy, terror organizations and extremist groups.[16]

In the context of the 2020 Abraham Accord, La Repubblica quoted Al Ketbi as saying that the UAE were using their role to neutralize the escalation of violence that could have resulted from an "Israeli annexation of Palestinian land" and bring the possibility of a political solution back into play and creates new opportunities for the peace process.[17][18]

Research

Al Ketbi published a historical-analytical research in Arabic titled Dawlat al-Imarat al-Arabiya al-Muttahidah wa al-Qadiyyah al-Filistiniyah Dirasah Tarikhiyah (The UAE and the Palestinian Issue: A Historical Study) on the political strategy of the UAE in relation to the Palestinian issue since 1971.[19]

He argues Emirati support for the Palestinians focuses mainly on the development and infrastructure sectors. He mentions many instances of this orientation. Sheikh Zayed City may be the first residential city built in Palestine for more than 60 years. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nyan in 2005 ordered the construction of a city called Sheikh Khalifa City in the Gaza Strip.[19]

He also provides cases of financial and political support. The UAE 2010 report on foreign aid indicates that the Occupied Palestinian Territories had acquired 13% of the total foreign aid of the UAE that year, worth 3 million Emirati dirhams ($98.6 million). In 2012, at the emergency meeting of the Council of the League of Arab States, the UAE called for the formation of a committee to investigate alleged Israeli attacks against civilians in the Gaza Strip.[19]

Books

In 2017, Al Ketbi published Fakhr al-Oroba: Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, al-Qaid wal-Insan (The Pride of Arabs Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the leader and the man), a political biography of Emir Mohammed bin Zayed investigating his role in the foreign policy of the United Arab Emirates and Arab national security in general.[20][21] Parts of the book appeared in the fifth-grade Social Studies and National Education textbook in the UAE.[22][23][24]

Views

Speaking to US Arabic-speaking channel Alhurra, Al Ketbi cited the "weakness" of post-revolutionary Arab countries as a factor in the growing Iranian influence in the Middle East and its "control of four Arab capitals",[25][26] a talking point Al Ketbi states in several articles.[27]

Awards and honors

In 2017, Al Ketbi won the Arab Women Media Network (AWMN) award for Book of the Year for his political biography, Fakhr al-Oroba.[28][29][30]

Memberships

Al Ketbi is member of Chatham House,[31][32] IAPC's London Press Club, Press Club Brussels, International Federation of Journalists, Federation Of Arab Journalists and UAE Journalists Association.[33]

Events

Al Ketbi spoke at the 2017 MEDays annual international forum on issues of think tanks and soft power in the Middle East and Africa.[34]
