Palestinian Authority PM: We reject UAE deal with Israel, not Emirati nation

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh expresses solidarity with the Emirati people, following withering Palestinian criticism of the UAE’s normalization deal with Israel.

He tweets: “The Emirati people are our people. The UAE flag is an Arab flag. Our rejection of normalization does not affect our respect towards our people in the UAE.”

His comment comes after Palestinians trample UAE flags and light a poster of its de facto ruler on fire in protest of the agreement.
