Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh warned the regional states against normalization of ties with Israel and acts which reinforce the regime’s “destructive” presence in West Asia region.
Khatibzadeh strongly blasted the UAE for hosting Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, and said the regime is “the Muslim world’s and Arab countries’ number one enemy”.
“No action towards normalization (of relations with the regime) can cause the lofty Palestinian cause to disappear,” he added.
Khatibzadeh warned against any measure that could reinforce the regime’s “destructive and seditious” presence in the West Asia region.
The peoples of the region would never forget the Israeli regime’s “sinister and vindictive” actions that are the “root cause” of the region’s problems, he said.
Khatibzadeh said Abu Dhabi had received the prime minister of the “illegitimate regime” despite Tel Aviv’s 70-year-long history of “acting as the source of instability, tension, and warmongering across the Arab and Muslim countries”.
Various Palestinian groups have likewise reacted strongly to the development, with the Gaza Strip-based Islamic Jihad resistance movement considering any act of normalization with the Tel Aviv regime to be tantamount to “betrayal to Palestine”.
Bennett met with the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates and Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Monday, becoming the first ruler of the Israeli regime to visit the Persian Gulf state.
The visit came more than a year after the two sides agreed to establish formal relations under a US-brokered deal.
The visit came only a day after Israeli forces fatally shot a Palestinian youth in the head during clashes in the city of Nablus in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.
