Palestinian leaders have denounced it as a &#8220;stab in the back&#8221; to their cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The move against Palestine is not a step that can be stomached. Now, Palestine is either closing or withdrawing its embassy. The same thing is valid for us now,&#8221; Erdogan said, adding he gave orders to his foreign minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I told him we may also take a step in the direction of suspending diplomatic ties with the Abu Dhabi leadership or pulling back our ambassador,&#8221; he told reporters after Friday prayers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Foreign Ministry had earlier said Palestinians were right to reject the deal in which the UAE betrayed their cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;History and the conscience of the region&#8217;s peoples will not forget and never forgive this hypocritical behaviour,&#8221; it said. &#8220;It is extremely worrying that the UAE should, with a unilateral action, try and do away with the (2002) Arab Peace Plan developed by the Arab League.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey has diplomatic and trade ties with Israel, but relations have been strained for years. In 2010 Israeli commandos killed 10 Turkish activists trying to breach a blockade on the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The deal makes UAE the third Arab country to establish full relations with Israel, after Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by Kashmir Today staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turkey has diplomatic and trade ties with Israel, but relations have been strained for years.
