Washington (Kavian Press)- By signing a deal and normalizing ties with the Israel, the United Arab Emirates has betrayed the Islamic world and the Palestinians, Iran’s top authority Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said during a speech on Tuesday.
“The UAE’s betrayal will not last long, but this shameful act will always be remembered. They allowed the Zionist regime to enter the region and forgot Palestine,” he added.
The deal that was brokered mainly by Trump administration and specially his son in law Jared Kushner last month is harshly criticized by the Iran government.
Palestinian also expressed their anger and disappointment accusing the UEA of giving up on Palestinian statehood in return for normalizing relations with the Israel and financial benefits.
UAE officials have said the deal is urging Israel to suspend its annexation plan for the West Back, but Israeli officials have denied that claim saying the annexation is only on hold temporarily.
