UAE normalises full diplomatic relations with Israel, three years after severing ties with Qatar

Israel and the United Arab Emirates have reached an agreement – brokered by the United States – to work towards a “full normalisation of relations”, a deal slammed by the Palestinians who called it a “treacherous stab in the back”.

The move, which has been slammed by the Palestinian groups, is coming barely three years after the UAE, alongside Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf States severed relationship with a fellow Arab state, Qatar.

The diplomatic crisis between ‘brethren’ of the same faith continues with no end in sight – just as the Emirates opens its arms in friendship to Israel, which has illegally occupied and annexed Palestiniian land and has been violating the Palestinian rights to freedom for decades.

Under the agreement announced by the US President Donald Trump on Thursday, Israel said it has agreed to suspend the annexation of Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank.

The UAE is the first Gulf Arab state and the third Arab nation – after Egypt and Jordan – to announce active ties with Israel.

The surprise deal was the product of lengthy discussions between Israel, the UAE and the US that accelerated recently, the White House officials said.

A joint Israel-UAE statement was also tweeted out by Trump, who called it a “huge breakthrough”.

The agreement came after a phone call earlier on Thursday between Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi.

“This historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region,” said the joint statement.

Delegations from Israel and the UAE would meet in coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications and other issues, the statement said.

USA-UAE-Israel announcement

Speaking to reporters in the White House, Trump said he hoped other Muslim nations in the region will follow the UAE.

“Now that the ice has been broken, I expect more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates,” he said.

‘Stab in the back’

The Palestinian groups have slammed the Israel-UAE agreement, saying it does nothing to serve the Palestinian cause and ignores the rights of the Palestinian people.

Hamas condemned the deal, which it said was a “treacherous stab in the back of the Palestinian people”.

The Fatah movement said the UAE is “flouting its national, religious and humanitarian duties” toward the Palestinian cause.

Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization’s (PLO) executive committee, said the UAE has “come out in the open on its secret dealings” with Israel.

“Israel got rewarded for not declaring openly what it’s been doing to Palestine illegally and persistently since the beginning of the occupation,” she posted on Twitter.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was a “historic day” in response to Trump’s tweets about the deal.

Reporting from West Jerusalem, Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett called the deal “a huge development” and something that Netanyahu had been “working towards for much of his political career”.

“The idea has been to normalise relations between Israel and its important Arab Muslim neighbours in the region and this is the first such agreement in full,” he said.

“Under the Arab initiative, there should be first a settling of the Arab-Israeli conflict before any normalisation, so this is a major upset in terms of what has been the explicit thinking of Arab politics up until this point.”

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara said the Israel-UAE is not about “peace in the Middle East”.

“Let me tell you why. The UAE does not border Israel. The UAE does not have territorial or national claims with Israel. It is the Palestinians that have a problem with Israel, and the UAE [has] basically gone against the Arab Palestinian public opinion,” he said.
