[IsraelNationalNews] The Arab League on Wednesday failed to pass a resolution proposed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) which would have condemned the normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Times of Israel reports.
"After a three-hour debate, some Arab countries refused to include [a] statement condemning [the UAE] for abandoning Arab decisions. Additionally, they struck out a clause which discussed the trilateral agreement" between the UAE, the US, and Israel, the PA representative to the Arab League, Muhannad al-Aklouk, was quoted as having told the Ma’an news agency.
Senior Arab League official Hussam Zaki said, "Discussion around this point was serious and comprehensive. But it did not lead to agreement over the resolution proposed by the Palestinians." Note to the Palestinians. Your "cause" is over. You were always expendible against Israel in lives, now you are in cause.
Zaki said the PA representatives had insisted they would either accept a condemnation of the agreement or no statement on the issue at all.
"A number of amendments were proposed, and then counter-amendments...and we were at a point in which Palestinian demands had not been realized, and the Palestinians preferred it not to pass rather than have it pass in a manner which they believed to be inadequate," Zaki said.
Before Wednesday’s discussion, the PA leadership submitted a draft resolution in which it watered down its criticism of the normalization deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas denounced the Israel-UAE deal and described it as "a stab in the Palestinians' back". He has also said that no peace would be achieved in the region by bypassing the Palestinian Arabs in favor of normalization of relationships between the Arab states and Israel.
Chief PA negotiator Saeb Erekat warned that the Israel-UAE agreement would kill the two-state solution, strengthen "extremists" and undermine the "possibility of peace".
An Arab League condemnation of the Israel-UAE deal seemed unlikely from the start, sinc several Arab states such as Egypt and Bahrain have expressed public or tacit support for the deal.
Senior PA official Hussein al-Sheikh called the Arab League’s failure to condemn the deal "the triumph of money over dignity."
"The Arab League has not produced anything. It has given the entire region condemnations of everyone ad nauseum — except for Israel. This is a thunderous collapse, the use of ’national sovereignty’ to justify subservience," al-Sheikh said, according to Times of Israel.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem also condemned the Arab League’s failure to pass the resolution.
"This inability to condemn the UAE merely tempts Israel and the United States to continue implementing their plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause," he was quoted as having said. Thank Iran for pushing the Arabs to fully recognizing Israel due to their aggression.

Trump's Nobel acceptance speech: "Due credit goes to the brave peoples of the Middle East ... and especially to the Government of Iran, for replacing Arab-Israeli hatred with universal hatred of Iran. Bravo Zulu!"
[EN.ANNAHAR] Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... 's Amal Movement blasted U.S sanctions on the group's close aid Ali Hassan Khalil, labeling them as an encroachment on Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... 's illusory sovereignty and maritime borders.
"We will not compromise on our sovereign rights and borders regardless of any sanctions and pressure," a statement issued by the group said.
On Tuesday, the U.S Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned former Lebanese government ministers Youssef Fenianos and Ali Hassan Khalil for "providing material support to Hezbollah and engaging in corruption."
Hassan Khalil served as the Minister of Finance (2014-2020) and Minister of Public Health (2011-2014) after being ushered in by Berri, the leader of the Shiite Amal Movement who has held his position as Parliament Speaker for over 30 years.
