The UAE isn’t part of any version of the “Greater Israel” idea, so it can easily stay friendly with Israel without feeling threatened. Israel doesn’t want their land, so the Emirati leadership doesn’t really care what happens to Israel’s neighbors. As long as they keep things normal and keep pampering Israel, they stay safe and get treated well. Honestly, they have no shame about it. They don’t like anyone who speaks up for Muslims and even back right-wing groups in Europe or fund mercenaries in places like North Africa and Sudan to protect their own interests.

The only thing that could really keep the UAE in check is if it falls out with Saudi Arabia. If that happens, the UAE would probably start talking about caring for the Ummah just to challenge Saudi Arabia’s image as the supposed leader of the Muslim world. Not that Saudi actually leads or genuinely cares about the Ummah either, but at least it would be about optics instead of the UAE openly cozying up to Israel the way it does now.
