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.
I have not read an Israeli version and an Arabic version of the agreement and had them both translated into English.
If someone does that they may find that aspects of the agreement may not jibe with western journalists reporting.
Israel may in fact be not changing its official position regarding Judea and Samaria, merely putting that pursuit on hold for awhile - for the time period off - working out the state-to-state details in the agreement with the UAE; but no longer.
However, the Arabic version from the UAE may have a different slant of its own on that.
I think we have to give it all some time to see how it all turns out.
One thing I do not think Israel had any right to do, if that’s what it did, was give the UAE any say so over what happens with Judea & Samaria/west bank. They - the UAE - have zero rights to anything about that land, even from an “Arab” perspective. There is only one nation-state-government that Israel could legitimately make a joint agreement with concerning Judea & Samaria/West Bank. That would be Jordan. But not Saudi Arabia, not any Gulf State, not Egypt, Syria or anyone else.
How is this any of our business?
