About a week after the announcement of normalization between Morocco and Israel, the Palestine Liberation Organization is silent on Rabat, which is the latest country to establish full diplomatic relations with Israel.
The Palestine Liberation Organization in Ramallah has opted for silence, until now, on the Moroccan-Israeli deal, which was also sponsored by the United States, which contradicts the organization’s positions in previous agreements.
The Palestinian Authority denounced the peace agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel and called its ambassador in Abu Dhabi after the announcement last August, which is the same step it took with Bahrain.
In a statement broadcast on state television, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected the deal between the Emirates and Israel, describing it as a “betrayal of Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian cause.”
The Authority also condemned Bahrain’s agreement with Israel, which was included in Ibrahim’s principles, and called that step “a stab on the side of the Palestinian cause,” and also summoned its ambassador to Manama.
After Sudan reached a similar agreement with Israel, the organization described the agreement as “a new stab in the back of the Palestinian people.”
The “Times of Israel” newspaper said the Palestinian Authority has resorted to silence; Because “he fears a greater antagonism from the Arab world.”
Bad decision
The Palestinian expert on international relations, Ashraf Al-Ikka, believes that the attack on the printed countries “was a wrong choice that cost the organization the loss.”
“The Palestine Liberation Organization is convinced that the path of confronting the printed Arab countries will not necessarily benefit it, especially since it has proceeded since the 1990s by opening relations with the Israeli state, the latest of which is the reestablishment of the security coordination, “Al-Akka told Al-Hurra.
He added: “It is clear that there is a tendency to bet on the Biden administration to advance the peace process (…)”, noting that “the organization changed its strategy after practically withdrawing from the attack against the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain” and review your position after the US presidential elections.
Last November, the Palestinian Authority returned its ambassadors in Abu Dhabi and Manama days after Four Joe Biden announced the US presidential elections, without an official announcement or comment from them.
Al-Ikkah pointed out that “the authority was betting on international solutions and reviving the Egyptian-Jordanian initiative and obtaining greater support”, since “the attack was not based on a comprehensive Palestinian strategy (…)”, considering that the Previous positions came without “the Palestinian Authority determining its priorities.” .
Diplomatic isolation
For his part, Palestinian political analyst Mukhaimer Abu Saada said that the former authority’s tactics ended with growing “diplomatic isolation.”
Abu Saada told “The Times of Israel” that “the Palestinian Authority’s criticism of the Emirates and Bahrain caused diplomatic problems with Egypt and Saudi Arabia because these two countries blessed the normalization process.”
In turn, the former minister of the Palestinian Authority, Nabil Amr, commented through a video clip that he posted on his Facebook page, saying: “The authority wants to preserve its relations with Morocco.”
Amr said, “Morocco is not a secondary state for the Palestinian Authority, but rather a qualitative state,” adding: “The authority has water in its mouth and does not want to enter a battle with Morocco.”
