An Iranian threat
For his part, Iranian Chief of Staff Muhammad Bagheri said that his country's dealings with the UAE will change radically after the normalization of its relations with Israel.

Bagheri added that the Iranian armed forces would deal with the UAE according to new equations, and he also indicated that any action that might threaten Iran's security from the Gulf waters, the UAE would bear the responsibility, and he advised the emirates to reconsider its decision to normalize relations with Israel before it is too late.

Iranian Parliament Speaker Muhammad Baqer Qalibaf said that what the UAE had done had revealed the truth of its false claims about standing with the Palestinian people and defending their rights. Qalibaf added that countries that are moving towards relations with Israel will be partners in previous and future Israeli crimes against the Palestinians.

In the context, Iranian Defense Minister Amir Hatami said that opening the region's doors to Israel would lead to destabilization of security in the region, and that the UAE should bear the responsibility because it will not be immune from its repercussions.

Hatami added that the normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel is a betrayal of the right of the Palestinian people and the peoples of the region.

The next country in normalization
, Maariv newspaper revealed that the United States and Israel are working to include more Gulf countries to normalize relations with Tel Aviv.

The newspaper said that Bahrain will be the second country after the UAE to fully normalize relations with Israel.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation confirmed that contacts between Tel Aviv and Khartoum are continuing, and missions from both parties are continuing preparations in full swing to reach an agreement.

On the other hand, the spokeswoman for the Emirati Foreign Ministry, Hind Al-Otaiba, said in an interview with Haaretz, that her country's embassy in Israel will not be in Jerusalem, and that the goal of establishing official relations between her country and Israel is to stop Israel’s annexation of lands in the West Bank, because peace cannot be achieved in the East. Al-Awsat is without a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, she said.

Al-Otaiba said that the informal relations between her country and Israel have greatly increased, and the issue of normalizing relations between them was a matter of time.

She indicated that the UAE is concerned about any behavior that could destabilize the region, whether it originates from Iran or any other country.

Al-Otaiba expressed her hope to see large numbers of Israelis at the World Expo in Dubai in 2021, because the goal, as she said, is to establish full diplomatic relations, including the exchange of ambassadors and the opening of embassies between them.

According to the newspaper, before the ink dried up in the agreement with Abu Dhabi, Tel Aviv began to straighten its gaze on the central goal of establishing relations with Saudi Arabia, the most important Gulf state.

The senior Israeli official expressed his hope that the agreement with the Emirates would achieve a breakthrough to establish relations with Saudi Arabia, because the "ruler of the Emirates" Mohammed bin Zayed is very close to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and his decision to normalize relations between his country and Israel was coordinated with bin Salman, which makes The possibility of normalizing relations between Riyadh and Tel Aviv is possible.

The newspaper described the great Israeli source who reported this information to it that he played a major role in the contacts that paved the way for the normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel.

In a report from Dubai, the Yediot Aharonot newspaper reported that merchants in the ancient spice market in the city went out of their stores and applauded him when he informed them that they were coming from Israel.

One of them was quoted as saying that the Emiratis are the "Israelis of the Gulf", as an expression of appreciation for the announcement of the normalization of relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
