Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip have unanimously slammed the Arab League’s rejection of the Palestinian Authority's draft resolution condemning the normalization of ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. The factions say the move will lead to more Israeli violations of Palestinian rights.
Palestinian groups in the Gaza Strip condemned the Arab League's decision to drop a draft resolution by the Palestinian Authority rejecting normalization of ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. Palestinians say the failure to pass the resolution is a victory for Israel, and a blow to the Palestinians' efforts to form a united Arab decision on the issue.
The Palestinians factions called on all Arab nations to immediately stop any move which contributes to normalization of ties with Israel.
Palestinians say the Arab silence over the normalization of ties between Israel and the UAE will pave the way for other countries to sell the Palestinians' cause. They say this will allow Israel to go further with its violation of Palestinian rights.
The normalization of ties is a clear violation of the peace initiative that insists the normalization between Israel and Arab countries is not possible without a fair solution to the Palestinian conflict and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. Palestinians say all Arab nations should condemn any normalization of ties with Israel.
Palestinians are disappointed with the Arab league decision and consider it an approval of normalizing ties with Israel, something, as observers say, that will give Israel a green light to go further with its violation of Palestinian rights.
