Despite the consistent undermining of the two-state solution and the rights of Palestinians, Arab countries have not hesitated getting into bed with Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the head of the most right-wing government in Israel’s history, pledged last Saturday to annex the occupied West Bank if he wins tomorrow’s general election.
Home to more than 2.5 million Palestinians, the West Bank has been witnessing the constant rise of illegal settlements housing more than 400,000 Israelis, with the support of Israel’s military occupation. Israeli Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev, right, shakes hands with Mohamed Bin Tha'loob Al Derai, President of UAE Wrestling Judo & Kickboxing Federation Oct. 27, 2018.
The Trump-Saudi-UAE alliance sees Tel Aviv as a primary partner in the region and this has struck a major blow to Palestinian aspirations for statehood, as well as other issues such as Palestinian refugees’ right to return, the funding of Palestinian organisations and the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over Golan Heights.
