Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi appreciated the agreement to normalize relations between the UAE and Israel, while the Palestinian resistance committees said that the agreement was a treacherous and poisonous stab in the back of the nation.
Al-Sisi tweeted, "I followed with great interest and appreciation the tripartite joint statement between the United States of America, the sisterly United Arab Emirates and Israel regarding the agreement to stop Israel's annexation of the Palestinian lands." And he considered that they are steps "that would bring about peace in the Middle East."
Al-Sisi's tweet came after US President Donald Trump suddenly announced, via Twitter, a "historic" agreement between the UAE and Israel on the normalization of relations.
In turn, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, said on Twitter that his country had agreed with Israel to "lay down a roadmap towards launching joint cooperation, leading to bilateral relations."
The announcement came in a joint statement issued by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed and US President Donald Trump.
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.
The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, also said that the agreement does not serve the Palestinian cause and encourages the occupation to deny the rights of the Palestinian people.
For its part, the Islamic Jihad movement described the normalization of the UAE with Israel as "surrender and subservience," and strongly condemned this agreement.
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."
For her part, Palestinian activist Hanan Ashrawi said that Israel was rewarded for not disclosing what it did in Palestine illegally since the beginning of the occupation.
