The authority summons its ambassador to Abu Dhabi and describes what the UAE did with the betrayal of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and the Palestinian cause

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) confirmed their rejection of the announced agreement between the UAE and Israel, and the Authority recalled its ambassador in Abu Dhabi, a position taken by all Palestinian sects.

In a phone call with Haniyeh, Abbas stressed that all the components of the Palestinian people stand together in refusing to normalize or recognize the occupation at the expense of its rights, and they stressed that the agreement is not binding and will not be respected.

They also stressed during the call that no one is allowed to make Palestine, its sanctity, its most distant places, its martyrs, and the suffering of its children a bridge for normalization with the enemy, and they agreed to continue constant communication and to strengthen joint coordination within the Palestinian national arena to face the developments of this situation.

In response to the Emirati normalization with Israel, Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Al-Maliki announced that the Palestinian ambassador from the UAE would be summoned immediately.

This came after a statement by the Palestinian leadership in which it declared its rejection and denunciation of the agreement, considering it a blow to the Arab peace initiative.

In a statement read by its spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeina, the Palestinian presidency said that what the UAE has done is a betrayal of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian cause, and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, noting that the UAE or any other party has no right to speak on behalf of the Palestinian people.

In the context, the Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Saeb Erekat, called in an interview with the official Palestine TV, the Secretary-General of the Arab League, Ahmed Abu al-Gheit, to resign if he was unable to issue a statement denouncing the Israeli-Emirati normalization agreement.

Erekat considered the Emirati move a major stab in the back of the Palestinian people.

He said, "Palestine and Jerusalem will not be a sacrifice offered in the temples of meanness and political pivoting outside the region. Palestine and Jerusalem are more important than all Arab, Muslim and world capitals."

Declaration of agreement

Yesterday, Thursday, the US President announced, on Twitter, an Israeli-Emirati agreement to normalize relations between them, and said, "A huge breakthrough today, a historic peace agreement between our two great friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated Trump's tweet and commented on it by saying "a historic day."

In conjunction with Trump's tweet, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, said in a tweet, “In my phone call today with US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, it was agreed to stop Israel's annexation of the Palestinian territories. The UAE and Israel also agreed to lay down a roadmap towards launching joint cooperation. Down to bilateral relations. "

As for the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash, he said in his tweet, "The region has witnessed many political initiatives and stations since Camp David to Madrid, Oslo, Way River, Annapolis and others, and we are seeking today for Israel to freeze annexation of Palestinian lands a new opportunity to revive peace."

Factions denounce

In a separate statement, Hamas expressed its rejection of the normalization agreement between Israel and the Israeli occupation. The movement described the Emirati-Israeli agreement as a cowardly step that constitutes a blatant assault on Palestine's religious, national, national and historical rights, and a treacherous stab in the back of the Palestinian people and their resistance forces.

Hamas said in a statement that the agreement was the culmination of the suspicious relationship between the rulers of the Emirates and the leaders of the Zionist movement in the United States and Israel.

The statement stressed that this step represents the end of a path of national, patriotic and moral fall of the rulers of the Emirates.

In its statement, Hamas accused the UAE of helping the extreme right-wing forces in the occupation government, and in the United States, ahead of the American elections, at the expense of the rights of the Palestinian people.

The Arab League and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation called for the agreement to be condemned, as it is extremely dangerous for the Palestinian cause, and not to allow it to be passed.

For its part, the Islamic Jihad Movement expressed its condemnation of the normalization agreement between the UAE and the Israeli occupation.

The movement’s spokesman, Daoud Shehab, considered the agreement a departure from the national consensus, a legitimization of the occupation and a rescue of the Israeli government from its predicament and crises.

Shehab emphasized that normalization with the occupation is surrender and subservience, and will not change the facts of the conflict anything, but rather make the occupation more terrorist.

For his part, Vice President of the Islamic Movement Inside the Green Line Sheikh Kamal Khatib said that the Emirati-Israeli agreement is just a public announcement of what has been hidden for years, referring to Abu Dhabi's role in buying real estate in Jerusalem and then selling it to the Israelis.

Al-Khatib added in a speech to him that the Emirati move is a prelude to a similar step that Saudi Arabia will take.

The Palestinian Resistance Committees said that the agreement reveals the size of the conspiracy against the Palestinian people, considering it a treacherous and poisonous stab in the back of the nation.

In turn, the leader of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah), Abbas Zaki, said that the agreement is "the UAE’s abandonment of the national, religious and humanitarian duty towards the Palestinian cause."

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine also denounced the agreement, saying it was a new stab in the side of the Palestinian people and their national cause.

Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, said that Israel was rewarded for not disclosing what it had done illegally in Palestine since the beginning of the occupation.

For his part, the head of the National Initiative, Mustafa Barghouti, said that "the Emirati-Israeli normalization agreement is an implementation of the liquidation deal of the century and a stab in the back of the Palestinian people."
