The Palestinian Authority welcomes the message from the United Arab Emirates that any Israeli annexation of the West Bank would be a “red line” that would jeopardize normalization.

“We highly appreciate the stance of the state of the UAE in rejecting the Israeli measures to annex any parts of the West Bank, considering it a red line for the Emirates, which undermines regional integration and destroys the two-state solution,” Hussein al-Sheikh, PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s deputy, writes in a post on X.
