Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation, and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken discussed developments in Gaza and Israel.
They examined means of ending the violence and reaching a comprehensive solution to the conflict during a phone call, Wam news agency reported on Monday.
Sheikh Abdullah reaffirmed the strength of the strategic partnership between the UAE and the US and stressed the UAE's support for the efforts by Hady Amr, the US envoy to the Middle East, to restore calm and stop violence between Israel and Palestine.
He said the Abraham Accords signed last year between he UAE and Israel held hope for everyone to live in peace and stability, and that war and conflict led only to chaos and devastation.

Tearful appearance
Chancellor Rachel Reeves set markets on edge as she appeared visibly distraught in parliament on Wednesday.
Legislative setbacks for the government have blown a new hole in the budgetary calculations at a time when the deficit is stubbornly large and the economy is struggling to grow.
She appeared with Keir Starmer on Thursday and the pair embraced, but he had failed to give her his backing as she cried a day earlier.
A spokesman said her upset demeanour was due to a personal matter.
