(Abu Dhabi) In a deal which has stunned the Islamic world
the UAE has decided that it will normalise diplomatic ties and forge a broad
new relationship with Israel a move that reshapes the order of Middle East
politics from the Palestinian issue to the fight against Iran.
Naturally the Palestinians (and their supporters) feel that
this is an act of betrayal, yet these are the very people who for 72 years have
failed the people they claim to represent resulting in more poverty, pain and
anguish. Hopefully this move will catalyse other Arab and Islamic states to make peace.
