Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, met golf star Rory McIlroy on Monday.
Dubai’s Crown Prince praised McIlroy for his achievements and wished him continued success in the upcoming DP World Tour Championship tournament in Dubai from November 13-16.
McIlroy thanked Sheikh Hamdan for his kind words and praised Dubai and the UAE for hosting major tournaments that draw the world’s top golfers.
“Dubai has always held a special place in both my career and my life. I won my first professional title here at the Dubai Desert Classic in 2009, I’ve won more tournaments in Dubai than in any other city in the world, and I even called it home for several years,” he said.
“One of my earliest commercial partners was Jumeirah, so in many ways, Dubai has been part of my journey from the very beginning.”

Described as ‘the grandmother of the settler movement’, she has encouraged the expansion of settlements for decades. The 79 year old leads radical settler movement Nachala, whose aim is for Israel to annex Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where it helps settlers built outposts.

These are illegal outposts in the West Bank, which are at the vanguard of the settler movement. According to the UK, they are associated with people who have been involved in enabling, inciting, promoting or providing support for activities that amount to “serious abuse”.
