Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan

Third President of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu Dhabi since 2022, the third son of Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. Born in 1961, he graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 1979, served in the armed forces and rose to general, became crown prince of Abu Dhabi in 2004, and took de facto leadership of the state after his half-brother Khalifa's stroke in 2014; on Khalifa's death in May 2022 he succeeded him and was elected president on 14 May 2022. He has led an interventionist foreign policy: the war against ISIS, the Yemen intervention, the 2017 rupture with Qatar, the 2020 Abraham Accords with Israel, and the first papal visit to the Arabian Peninsula in 2019. He is a declared opponent of the Muslim Brotherhood and of Iran.
