Human rights organisation protests against Arab normalisation deals with Israel

SAfm — 'Africa 4 Palestine' to picket outside the embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Pretoria to protest against the Israel-United Arab Emirates normalisation agreement, or the Abraham Accord. The agreement was signed on Tuesday in Washington by US president Donald Trump and the leaders of Israel and UAE. The accord, which normalises relations between Israel and UAE is seen by others as a a 'stab in the back of oppressed Palestinians'. Under the "Abraham Accord", the UAE and Bahrain will depart from their decades long commitment of boycotting and not having relations with Israel until the government ends its unlawful occupation of Palestine.
