WOW: Arab League rejects Palestinian demand to condemn Israel-UAE deal

Unreal.

Living in the age of Trump – what a time to be alive.

The world has grown tired of the neo-Nazi Palestinian Authority. Soon we will see full diplomatic relations established between Israel and the vast majority of the Arab world. The Palestinian Authority are about to be left in the ash heap of history were it belongs.

Arab League rejects Palestinian demand to condemn Israel-UAE deal

The Arab league’s refusal to endorse the draft resolution is considered a severe blow to the Palestinians.

By Jerusalem Post, September 9th, 2020

The Arab League on Wednesday refused to endorse a Palestinian draft resolution condemning the United Arab Emirates for its normalization agreement with Israel, a move that is a severe blow to the Palestinians, Ramallah officials said.

The proposal was presented by the Palestinians to a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers, and Palestinian officials said some Arab countries objected to it.

After the Israel-UAE deal was announced, the Palestinian Authority called on Arab states to reject the agreement and said it had not authorized anyone to speak on its behalf.

PA Foreign Minister Riad Malki, speaking to the ministers’ meeting by videoconference, thanked some Arab countries for not moving toward establishing ties with Israel. He also labeled the efforts of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US senior adviser Jared Kushner to forge the Israel-UAE deal as “blackmail.”

Tensions between the Palestinians and some Gulf states have risen sharply following the agreement’s announcement.

Last month, the Arab League turned down a PA request to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the deal. The Palestinians have denounced it as a “stab in the back” and a “betrayal of al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem and the Palestinian issue.”

The Arab League then said the accord, along with other issues, would be discussed by the foreign ministers at their ordinary meeting, which took place on Wednesday.

Palestinian officials have accused some Gulf states of foiling the plan to hold the emergency meeting and also accused them of thwarting a Palestinian draft resolution to condemn the UAE for normalizing ties with Israel. They called on other Arab countries not to follow suit.

The foreign ministers also discussed Iranian and Turkish interventions in the internal affairs of Arab countries.

In his speech, Malki said that some Arab states had cut financial aid to the Palestinians at the behest of the US administration. In reference to the Israel-UAE deal, he said it “legalizes normalization for free and revives the ‘Deal of the Century’ after we thwarted it.”

The “Deal of the Century” is US President Donald Trump’s vision for Middle East peace, “Peace to Prosperity.”

Malki also stated that the Israel-UAE deal “recognizes occupied Jerusalem as Israeli territory.” The deal, he said, was an “earthquake that undermines joint Arab action” and put the Palestinians on the defensive.
