Turkey has called the UAE’s peace deal with Israel a hypocritical act and said that history and the people of the region will never forget the agreement. In a joint statement issued Thursday, US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed expressed hope that this historic development would help bring peace to the Middle East.
A statement issued by the Turkish Foreign Ministry said that the UAE’s attitude was “hypocritical”. Turkey says history and people of the region will never forget UAE’s ‘hypocritical behavior’ on agreement with Israel because according to Turkey, the UAE has made this decision in its own interest.
The written statement added that “a strong response from the Palestinian people and the administration is justified against this agreement.” Thursday’s agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates is being hailed by various quarters as a historic development for the Middle East. President Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed said in a joint statement on Thursday that the deal would result in Israel suspending plans to annex more territory in occupied West Bank to Israel.
Delegations from Israel and the UAE met to discuss bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, direct flights, security, communications, technology, energy, health, culture, environment, the establishment of embassies, and other issues of mutual interest.
