With all the talk of peace between the UAE and Israel, the riots in Jerusalem have put a wrinkle in the budding relationship between the two countries.

The Ramadan riots that have exploded in Jerusalem and other places in Israel have continued to degrade Israel’s sovereignty in areas that have up until now been considered party of sovereign Israel. However, the goal of the Ramadan riots is to stoke regional feelings when it comes to places like Jerusalem. This is in order to put a wedge between the UAE, Bahrain, and Jerusalem.

Regarding the Ramadan riots in Jerusalem, the UAE issued the following statement:

“The United Arab Emirates has expressed concern over the acts of violence committed by right-wing extremist groups in the occupied East Jerusalem, which have resulted in injuries among civilians,” said a statement by the Foreign Ministry quoted by the Emirates News Agency.

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has emphasized its categorical rejection and condemnation of all forms of violence and hatred that contravene with all humanitarian values and principles,” added the statement.

“The Ministry also underlined the necessity of preserving the historical identity of the occupied city of Jerusalem and maintaining maximum self-restraint to avoid the region slipping into new levels of instability in a way that threatens peace,” concluded the statement.

So much for the Abraham Accords.
