Rival Palestinian Groups to Unite against Israel-UAE Deal

INTERNATIONAL

On Thursday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held a video-conference meeting with rival Palestinian groups in order to form a united front over the United Arab Emirates’(UAE) and Israel's August 13th agreement to normalise ties. This rare meeting was held between Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh, Islamic Jihad Secretary-General Ziyad al-Nakhalah, and the Palestinian President Abbas, covering the reach from Ramallah in the West Bank to Beirut. Palestinians see UAE's 'normalisation' deal with Israel, orchestrated by US President Donald Trump, as a betrayal that would most probably weaken a long-standing pan-Arab position that urges Israel to withdraw from occupied Palestinian territory.

In his interview, Omar has said that he will neither be "Indian enough for extreme right-wing nationalist politicians" nor "Kashmiri enough for those who don't see Kashmir's future as part of India".
