"Among the most brutal aspects of this period for Palestinians have been the loss of support for their cause in neighboring Arab states. The Arab political party in Israel, Balad, said that by signing this pact, āthe UAE has officially joined Israel against Palestine, and placed itself in the camp of the enemies of the Palestinian people.ā The UAEās change from supporting Palestinian dignity and freedom to supporting Israelās never-ending occupation is a calculated move by UAE Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed, a shrewd Middle East dictator who uses his countryās military and financial resources to thwart moves towards democracy and respect for human rights under the guise of fighting Islamic terrorism."
