Qatar, Egypt react to UAE-Israel agreement
The two countries' differing reactions show that Arab states continue to have mixed feelings on the historic normalization agreement.
Arab states continue to have mixed reactions to the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Qatar reiterated support for a two-state solution to the United States today while Egypt said it backs the agreement.
Qatar’s ruler, Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, met with President Donald Trump's adviser Jared Kushner in Doha on Wednesday.
During the meeting, Al Thani voiced support for a “just settlement of the Palestinian cause” and a two-state solution to the conflict, according to the state-run Qatar News Agency.
Qatar’s leader also said the Gulf country continues to back the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative, which calls on Israel to withdraw to its borders from before the 1967 war in exchange for diplomatic recognition from Arab states.
