Hamas, Islamic Jihad: Israel, UAE Must Abolish Shameful Deal
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Chiefs of Palestinian movements of Hamas and Islamic Jihad said a recent deal between Israel and the UAE is “out of historic context” and a “violation of Palestinian, Arab and Islamic principles”.
In a telephone call, leaders of both resistance movements insisted that the UAE “must abolish this shameful deal.”
Hamas Chief Ismail Haniyeh, who conducted the call, agreed with the Islamic Jihad Leader Ziyad Al-Nakhala on “continuous coordination between the leaderships of both movements”, the Middle East Monitor reported.
Separately, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif spoke with Haniyeh and denounced the Israel-UAE deal, stressing on Iran’s permanent support for Palestine.
Haniyeh thanked Iran and the Iranian people for their constant support of the Palestinian cause.
“We will always continue the line of resistance and fight against the occupation, and we will not be affected by such treacherous acts, but we feel pain from this dagger that stabbed the Palestinian people from behind,” Haniyeh said.
