The UAE, in spite of our military there (about 3,500 in Abu Dhabi) is not one of our true friend. We are friends of convenience and that is all.
They are on the outs with Saudi Arabia in part over the UAE’s refusal to distance themselves from the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is as far as Iran in its denunciation of Israel. It will be interesting to see what develops in the UAE because of this agreement with Israel.
On the positive side the UAE is opposing Turkey inserting itself into the division in Libya.
Well, the land deal should have been a deal breaker IMO.
Jared’s involvement should have given me pause.
There is NO justification in this agreement for Israel to have to forfeit claiming land that is rightfully theirs. Both parties already benefit from uniting against Iran without any land rights being forfeited.
I am sick and tired of the U.S. pushing Israel into agreements that take way their land rights.
