Deadlock in Arab League Meeting Over UAE-Israel Agreement #News

The Arab Foreign Minister said on Wednesday night that the Arab Foreign Minister had failed to reach an agreement on a draft resolution condemning the normalization agreement between the UAE and Israel last month.

The Alliance’s Assistant Secretary-General Hossam Zaki said at a Cairo press conference: “The meeting had serious and comprehensive discussions, but no consensus was reached on the resolution proposed by the Palestinian delegation.”

Zaki added that the ministers did not pass an alternative resolution in the video conference on Wednesday.

He said: "The Palestinian side would rather not publish a draft resolution than consider the concept it put forward."

Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyadh Almarki has called on the Minister to take the position of "rejecting this step (normalization)". Not accepted in Israel. The state of Palestine ".

The Palestinian Delegation Proposed a Resolution Calling for the Normalization of Relations Between the two Countries.

The normalization of the relationship between the UAE and Israel has achieved the opening of telephone and air links, but it has been interrupted due to the Arab League’s multi-year policy on the conflict in the Middle East and has been condemned by the Palestinians as “betrayal”.

In 2002, a group of 22 members passed the peace plan proposed by Saudi Arabia, which was updated in 2017. It provides the condition of normalization that Israel must completely withdraw from the territories it occupied in the 1967 Six-Day War. The United Nations, a Palestinian state, said that East Jerusalem as its capital is a just solution for Palestine refugees and their descendants. The current number of Palestine refugees and their descendants exceeds 5 million.

The Trump administration put the Arab plan aside, and the Trump administration announced its controversial peace blueprint in January after several delays.

It promised a great blessing to the United States for the final annexation of occupied Israel on the west coast, including the strategic Jordan Valley and all Jewish settlements.

The United Arab Emirates government praised the provisions of a normalization agreement with the United States that would shelve Israeli annexation.

However, Israel argued that the delay was short-lived and that the annexation plan was still under consideration.

Zaki emphasized that "other decisions about Palestine have not changed previously established basic principles ... for example, the so-called rejection of the American peace program ... and the rights of Palestinian refugees."

However, he did not disclose any alliance policy adopted by the UAE for its members after the normalization process.

Mr. Trump will preside over the signing ceremony for the agreement on September 15.

The United Arab Emirates will be the third Arab country to sign an agreement with Israel, following Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.
