UAE will establish a national embassy in Tel Aviv


The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will establish a national embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, according to its Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Anwar Gargash, during a videoconference held on Thursday with the group of experts of the Atlantic Council based in the United States.


As published by the Turkish news agency Anadolu, Anwar Gargash stated that when the agreement to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel, announced last week, is signed, “Abu Dhabi will have its Embassy in Tel Aviv based on international consensus for a solution of two states ”, referring to the Palestinian question. “The Embassy will be in Tel Aviv. This is very clear ”, he asserted.


Precisely, the solution of constituting two states at the same time, both the Israeli and the Palestinian, is the solution most defended by the Gulf country throughout all this time and also the one most supported by many actors of the international community, of in order to solve the Palestinian problem and to pacify the Middle East region.


Regarding the progress made in last week's pact, called the ‘Abraham Agreement’, the UAE diplomat noted that “the most concrete achievement was to stop the annexation of Palestinian lands”; furthermore, it reiterated the UAE's commitment to a two-state solution.


Although, referring to the stoppage of the annexation of Palestinian West Bank territories intended for Jewish settlements, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nevertheless said that he agrees to delay the annexation of the occupied West Bank as part of a standardization agreement, but also wanted to make it clear in part that this Hebrew strategy is still "on the table."


The deal has long-term benefits, Gargash explained, and "certainly this step will create opportunities." Thus, the Emirati minister explained that the economy of the Arab nation is larger than the Israeli one and that Israel has great opportunities thanks to this after resuming diplomatic relations between the Emiratis and Israelis. At this point there is some unfinished business, such as the purchase of US F-35 fighter jets that the UAE had requested. “Our first request was six years ago. Our legal request is on the table, ”Gargash said, affirming that the request has nothing to do with the last agreement reached.


Regarding the pact between the Emirates and Israel, Anwar Gargash also clarified, in an interview with the Atlantic Council, that stopping the annexation of Palestinian territories by Israel was a basic condition of the agreement. Clarifying that the UAE did not negotiate on behalf of the Palestinians, as only they will decide the future of their own state.

                         لماذا نحن هنا؟ Information is an important element in the world we live in. Fake news leads us to believe the opposite of reality. In a Middle Eastern region where the bloody war in Gaza continues, it is important to report the truth; the genocide and Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people, as well as the situation in Syria. This is what we do at ARABINFOCUS. We have therefore humbly asked for donations from members of the HH Arab Royal Houses; from His Highnesses Emirs and from important Muslim personalities who have the financial means to make a donation. We have asked them for a simple donation. Only one anonymous Saudi helped us. All the others have ignored us and have not given us even  a dinar.  Why this ignorance against ARABINFOCUS? Our fight against Jewish Zionism deserved help. But a HH Crown Prince; HH sheikhs; HH emirs;  Prime ministers; all have scorned us, instea...

          IS FOOTBALL MORE IMPORTANT THAN ARABIC CULTURE? Qatar and Saudi Arabia have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring top-class soccer players in Europe to elevate and give greater prestige to their national championships in this sport. Football is a global distraction and, therefore, there is nothing to criticize about these operations. It is absolutely normal and correct that the two Arab countries have made that expense. But this situation moves us to ask some questions: 1.- Soccer is more important than the values of the culture of the Arab Nation. ? 2.-Is Soccer more important than reporting and condemning Israel's criminal aggressions against the Palestinian people? 3.-Is Soccer more important than defending Islam and its values and teachings, when it is being subjected to unfair attacks from some Western countries? 4.- Is Soccer more important than explaining and defending the values of the holy book of the Quran, subject of attacks, de...

                ONE HUNDRED KILLED IN THE ATTACK ON A SCHOOL IN GAZA Genocide and war crimes continue in Gaza, although Prime Minister Netanyahu says he is willing to resume peace negotiations. In the attack on a school this Friday, 100 Palestinians died, some of whom are women and children. Israel justified the missile attack, stating that the school served as a refuge for Hamas militants, but has not presented the slightest evidence to justify the version of the Jewish armed forces. It's the same old story. Every time Israel attacks a school, a hospital or a refugee camp, it justifies it by claiming that those places were used by the military branch of Hamas. But don't look for proof because there isn't any. The school attacked with missiles was Al-Tabin, in the Daraj area, in the capital of the Palestinian enclave. The school was completely destroyed. Meanwhile, the Palestinian and Lebanese populations continue to wait for the announced attack ...
