“Zionist Prime Minister's visit to the UAE indicates national and moral decline, abandonment of Palestine, and partnership with the Zionist entity in its aggression against our Palestinian people and our sacred places,” said Ismail Redwan, a Hamas official, in a statement. “We strongly condemn the UAE government's reception of the criminal Bennett who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

Redwan reminded that Bennett's visit to the UAE coincided with the Zionist escalation of killing and terrorism against our Palestinian people, mounting of colonial settlements in Palestine, and Judaization schemes in occupied Jerusalem.

“The accelerated normalization of the UAE government with the usurping occupier represents a betrayal of our Ummah and a treacherous stab against our Palestinian people,” Redwan underlined.

Redwan noted that normalization with the Israeli entity would not give legitimacy to the occupation over the Palestinian land. (ILKHA)
