The United Arab Emirates warned Israel on Wednesday that any move to annex parts of the occupied West Bank would be a “red line” and could severely undermine the Abraham Accords, which normalized ties between the two countries.
Lana Nusseibeh, the UAE’s assistant foreign minister for political affairs, said the normalization agreements were intended to support Palestinians and their aspirations for an independent state.
“From the outset, we saw the accords as a means to continue supporting the Palestinian people and their legitimate aspirations for a state,” Nusseibeh said. “That was our position in 2020, and it remains our position today.”
She urged Israel to abandon annexation plans, warning that extremists “of any kind” must not be allowed to dictate the region’s future. “Peace requires courage, perseverance and rejecting violence as a driver of our choices,” she said.
