Top Jewish Democrat bashes secrecy surrounding Israel-UAE deal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Jewish Democratic Council of America is criticizing the fact that details of a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE are being kept under wraps.
“It’s T-minus 23 hrs, and NO ONE knows what they’re signing tomorrow. Not the Israelis, the Emiratis, the Bahrainis, nor the @WhiteHouse, b/c to Trump, the details don’t matter. This is NOT normal, and it’s the result of foreign policy being driven by politics & optics alone,” tweets Haile Soifer.
The tweet is atop a report that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyhau has kept his Foreign Ministry in the dark about the deal as well.
