Iran's Khamenei says Israel deal 'betrayal' of Islamic world by UAE
72
The United Arab Emirates has betrayed the Islamic world and the Palestinians by reaching a deal towards normalising ties with Israel, Iran’s top authority Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech on Tuesday.
“Of course, the UAE’s betrayal will not last long, but this stigma will always be remembered. They allowed the Zionist regime to enter the region and forgot Palestine,” Khamenei said.
“The Emiratis will be disgraced forever [...] I hope they wake up and compensate for what they did.”
Iranian authorities have harshly criticised the US- brokered deal between the UAE and Tehran’s longtime foe Israel, with some officials warning that the UAE and Israel cosying up to one another risks conflagration in the Middle East.
Israel and the UAE expect economic benefits from the deal, the first such accommodation between an Arab country and Israel in more than 20 years, which was forged largely through shared fears of Iran. It has dismayed Palestinian leaders, however, who believe it further erodes their struggle for an independent state.

@Ahmad , UAE is a great country where people are very happy and government is caring them well and keen on their welfare. UAE is a safe, prosperous and friendly country offering better quality of living.
While criticizing UAE look at your own country where people are struggling for basic necessities. Wal-Mart or Amazon UAE is the best instead of worrying about UAE do something to improve the living standard of Pakistanis. Do you know the same UAE is doing how many charitable works in Pakistan?.

“The Emiratis will be disgraced forever" When the history is written of this, it will not be flattering to the emiratis. Much like today no one wants to admit to aiding the apartheid state of south africa in the era before Mandela. It's an utterly shameless act.

@Ahmad ,
If you dont know anything about UAE, please dont pass any negative remarks. I have lived there for 38 years and can totally vouch for their integrity and believe they are one of the best well governed countries in the world with unblemished record. We all must really learn a lot from UAE how to govern the country in a secular way. We are still wasting our energy on religion based politics and spending all our resources on unwanted things rather than on social uplifting of people.
