Palestinians fume over ‘shameful’ UAE visit

PLO official Wasel Abu Youssef tells Reuters that the visit by a UAE delegation to Israel is “shameful.”

“The bilateral agreements that were announced today and the delegations that come and go, all of that offers the occupation a strength to escalate its aggression and its crimes against the Palestinian people and increases its intransigence and arrogance,” he says.

Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for Hamas in Gaza, tells the agency that “such a visit will only encourage the occupation to pursue the gradual annexation of West Bank lands.”
