Dubai: His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Sunday received members of the Al Maktoum family.

Shaikh Mohammad hosted a banquet in honour of the well-wishers, who included family members as well as other shaikhs, senior officials and dignitaries.
Earlier, Shaikh Mohammad received Tony Blair, the Quartet Committee's special envoy to the Middle East, who briefed him on the committee's tasks and his role in bringing views between Palestinians and Israelis closer to reach a just solution and establish an independent Palestinian state.
Shaikh Mohammad called on Blair to utilise all his political expertise and make every possible effort to solve this issue of the Palestinian people and see the justice of the Palestinian question, which deserves more attention from great powers and the United Nations to further achieve justice and equality between all peoples of the region.
