The designation marks a shift in how the United Arab Emirates is formally characterising the incident. The Times of Israel reported the statement, noting it is the first time such language has been used by a senior Emirati figure.
Why now: The UAE's first official use of 'terrorism' to describe the attack is a significant diplomatic and legal escalation.
