RAMALLAH, West Bank — Suha Arafat, the widow of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, has become a part of the mounting crisis between the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the United Arab Emirates after Abu Dhabi reached an agreement to normalize ties with Israel. The deal resulted in the first official Israeli flight landing in the UAE on Aug. 31.
After the UAE announced Aug. 13 it was establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel, marchers denouncing the deal roamed the streets of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, where photos of Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and dismissed Fatah leader Mohammed Dahlan, who resides in the UAE, were set on fire.
