Palestinians in different countries have protested against newly inked UAE-Israel deal. Factions, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have also released statements denouncing the the agreement.

UAE and Israel have agreed on full normalization of relationships through the new deal in the areas of security, tourism, technology and trade as well as it demands suspending Israel's annexation plans in the West Bank.

On the other hand, Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh said: A position that expresses our Palestinian people, we are all with the president who adheres to the establishment of a fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.”

Palestinian protesters have burnt the photos of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed (MBZ), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, US President Donald Trump, and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
