A member of the UAE's Federal National Council (FNC), Ali Jassim Ahmed Al Ali died today morning after suffering from an illness.
According to local media reports, he was the longest-serving member of the FNC.
He was a former deputy speaker of the UAE's parliamentary body and had been part of several delegations and committees.
