UAE-backed initiative marries 250 Gaza couples in mass ceremony
On November 6, 2026, 250 Palestinian couples in Gaza participated in a mass wedding ceremony organized by the UAE-backed Operation Gallant Knight 3. Held at the Sea Club on Gaza City’s coast, the event aimed to alleviate the financial burden of marriage for young people facing economic hardship and displacement due to the ongoing conflict. The initiative, which received 11,622 applications, selected couples via lottery to provide a collective celebration amidst widespread destruction.
