The echoes of the official normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel are still reverberating strongly across the Arab world and internationally, as it was welcomed by the West, in exchange for unequivocal Palestinian rejection and Arab anger at the popular level, while most Arab countries were silent.

Islamic Jihad: Legitimization of the Occupation
