THE PALESTINIANS ARE NOT AT THE TABLE.
How does Netanyahu open up diplomatic relations without giving up annexation while committing to a peace between the Palestinians and Israel? It is all doublespeak.
The Palestinians have been completely marginalized by Israel with Trump's support and Israel is hoping diplomacy and attempts at mutual economic dependence that builds over time will push the Palestinians completely out of what is LEFT OF PALESTINE.
The Palestinians know what this is and it is an election year "Hail Mary."
"Normalization" means nothing to the Palestinians. Israel is moving every Palestinian grandmother they can find out their homes and taking land as these words are written. The Palestinians are NOWHERE in this agreement. Annexation has been substituted for the words "Two-state solution." I have absolutely no confidence in this agreement that will be on display in a few weeks. END THE ASSAULT ON THE WEST BANK AND GAZA and then I might believe this will end with enough land for the Palestinians to call a homeland. Anything short of ending Israeli aggression is not acceptable.

The historic deal was brokered during a call between leaders of the two nations and President Trump.
The UAE's leader, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed, announced on Twitter that the deal calls for "setting a roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship."...
When the Palestinians are adding their signatures to the agreement THEN AND ONLY THEN will I believe this holds water.
