Naftali Bennett of Yamina welcomed the deal but said it came at the expense of the annexation, which is tragic. His colleague Bezalel Smotrich dismissed the deal as insignificant and criticized Netanyahu for reviving the prospect of a two-tier solution. Likud MK and Netanyahu`s main rival within the party, Gideon Sa`ar, welcomed the deal, while expressing that he would be happier with the annexation. Meanwhile, Likud lawmakers Miri Regev and Yuli Edelstein rejected the deal because of the suspension of annexation. [37] I expect the Emiratis to act more unilaterally in the future, but I would also expect less competent states, which do not have the resources or capabilities of the Emiratis, to act more unilaterally in the future. Whether this will lead to more or less stability in the Middle East is unclear. It is clear that the Emirati worldview of regional stability, and the one that wants to promote it, is one with strict political control. It contrasts with the vision of liberalized politics and vibrant civil societies that create resilience that is different from the United States. Administrations have been progressing in the Middle East for many years. You condemned Abraham`s agreement as a betrayal.

The new agreement breaks a long-standing Arab consensus that the price to pay for normal relations with Israel is Palestinian independence. In addition, technology companies in the United Arab Emirates — as well as Qatar and Saudi Arabia — already have informal relationships with Israeli colleagues in order to obtain technologies that are considered crucial technologies, as they are used to protect oil and gas infrastructure, says Robert Mogielnicki, a political economy researcher at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington DC. The two countries already have important ties with China, he added. A spokeswoman for the European Commission said the deal was important for both Israel and the UAE, in addition to ensuring their stability. In the meantime, Italy hoped that it would initiate peace and stability in the Middle East. He also welcomed Israel`s suspension of the annexation of parts of the West Bank and hoped that he would resume talks with the Palestinians for a two-state solution. [108] Spain expressed similar sentiments and stated that it welcomed the agreement. [109] Ordinary Palestinians protested the deal on social media, and some also insulted the UAE. Meanwhile, Abbas Zaki, a member of Fatah`s Central Committee, called the agreement a breakdown of the Arab consensus on the management of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He accused the UAE of betraying Arabs and Palestinians before pushing the NAP to withdraw its ambassador from the UAE, and also called on the Arab League to end the 2002 Arab peace initiative. [68] Yousef Al Otaiba, the Emirati ambassador to the United States, issued a statement on August 13 in which he hailed the agreement as „an asset for diplomacy and for the region,“ adding how it would „ease tensions and create new energy for positive change.“ [7] [47] Rallies and demonstrations have taken place in many cities in Pakistan to condemn the agreement between the UAE and Israel. [83] Spigelman argues that countries could indeed sign a bilateral scientific agreement under which they publish joint calls for funding. . . .
