PA calls the Negev Summit "the summit of deceit and Israeli delusions"

Excerpt of an editorial by the official PA daily

 

Headline: “The Palestinian-Jordanian summit is the only summit”

 

 

 

“There are no historic summit meetings in this region – in the positive sense of the term historic – other than those that are held for the sake of Palestine and inside Palestine…

 

The Palestinian-Jordanian summit that was held two days ago [March 28, 2022] in Ramallah is the summit of the correct path, which [Jordanian] King Abdullah II and [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas – who have [the support of] the Palestinian and Jordanian majority and even the Arab [majority] that opposes the summits of deceit and the Israeli delusions – are walking on (refers to March 2022 Negev Summit attended by Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco, and the UAE as part of the Abraham Accords, which Jordan did not attend; see note below -Ed.)…

 

Perhaps those lost in the desert of Israeli deceit will chose the straight path, the path of the true summit, before the winds of this desert scatter them in all directions and before its sands bury them.”

 

 

Israeli peace agreements with the UAE and Bahrain (the Abraham Accords), Sudan, and Morocco – an agreement normalizing diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was announced on Aug. 13, 2020, under the mediation of US President Donald Trump. Following the UAE, Bahrain reached a similar peace agreement with Israel, as was announced on Sept. 11, 2020. The agreements were signed at the White House on Sept. 15, 2020, by Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Bahraini Minister of Foreign Affairs Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani. Pursuant to the Abraham Accords, Israel and the UAE will discuss bilateral cooperation on a number of topics. In exchange for the agreement, Israel agreed to suspend its previously announced plans to apply Israel's civilian law to parts of Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley as per the Trump peace plan. The US announced that “Muslims throughout the world who wish to come in peace to pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque, will now be able to fly to Tel Aviv through Abu Dhabi to do so and will be welcomed.” On Oct. 23, 2020, Sudan also formally agreed to normalize relations with Israel. Israel reached a similar normalization agreement with Morocco on Dec. 10, 2020.
