Palestinians – who the world expects Israel to be able to make peace with – demonstrate once again that they are not for peace. Palestinians from across the political spectrum on Thursday strongly condemned the normalization agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, dubbing it a betrayal of Arabs and Palestinians.
