The Pales­tin­ian lead­er­ship has watered down its crit­i­cism of the nor­mal­i­sa­tion deal between Israel and the Unit­ed Arab Emi­rates before an Arab League meet­ing in Cairo on Wednes­day at which the accord will be debat­ed. A draft res­o­lu­tion pre­sent­ed by the Pales­tin­ian envoy, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, does not include a call to con­demn, or act against, the Emi­rates over the U.S.-brokered deal. Announced on Aug. 13, the accord was the first such accom­mo­da­tion between an Arab coun­try and Israel in more than 20 years, and was forged large­ly through shared fears of Iran.
