Palestinian leaders condemned the recent peace accord between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, claiming that the UAE “stabbed them in the back”. “This announcement is a reward for the Israeli occupation’s crimes,” said Fawzi Barhoum, a Hamas spokesman, which seeks Israel’s destruction and has fought three wars against Israel since seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007. This historic deal could open doors for Israeli businesses to prosper in a market that has previously been closed to them. It will also establish diplomatic ties between the two countries, which will open doors of tourism between them. The Palestinians have vowed to fight this agreement with whatever means they have. Please pray for Israel in these interesting times, for wisdom for its government, and for increased normalization of ties with the Arab world, as this is favorable to maintaining Israel’s security in the region. Please also continue to pray for protection from Palestinian terrorism against Israel, especially in light of current developments.
