Israeli opposition wants to know: Is there more to UAE deal than meets the eye?

Senior opposition figures suspect that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is hiding some of the details of the deal signed with the UAE.

“One week after the signing, no one knows details regarding what Israel committed itself to, in the agreement — except for one person, who happens to be a criminal defendant. I am very worried — and there is real basis for my worry — that [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu may have traded Israel’s strategic advantage in the Middle East.”

This tweet was posted Sept. 21 by Meretz Knesset member Yair Golan — a former deputy chief of staff who also served as commander of the Northern Command. Golan was widely viewed as an exceptional officer who, before he retired, had been a candidate for the position of chief of staff.
