The Debate discuss with Dr. Saeb Shaath, Author and Middle East Affairs Expert and Dr. Jalal Fairooz, FMR, Bahraini MP and Middle East Expert, the UAE’s normalisation of ties with the Zionist entity ‘Israel’ . The deal has drawn condemnation from different countries as it revealed betrayal of Palestinian cause. ‘Israel’ and the United Arab Emirates agree to normalise diplomatic ties in a deal apparently ‎brokered by US President Donald Trump that includes Tel Aviv regime’s agreement to suspend ‎annexation of the occupied West Bank.‎

Transcription of some of what Dr. Shaath said ‎
Shaath, ”to start with there is no real sovereignty For Mohamed bin Zayed or these ‎Sheikhes over the UAE, its controlled by the Multinational companies, since the British ‎withdrawn from it in 1970, they kept these tribal leaders under tight control of the ‎Multinationals.‎”

‎ Shaath added “At the end of the day, to me, they are still a colony. They have been used by the Americans [Emirates] in ‎the waves of attacks came against Iraq in the [American invasion ] 2003 as well as the American ‎used them, as your guest mentioned they are used by ‘Israel’ to spy on Iran, they have their ‎cooperation under the table, it became very hard to hide it, the official visits ‎of Israeli ministers, officials, sport teams and many other exchanges between the ‎Emirates and ‘Israel’, so they could not hide it any more.‎”

Shaath went to say, “the other crucial point During the 2014 Zionist criminal war on Gaza, the ‎UAE sent a team of 50 doctors from the UAE red cross. The Palestinian ‎resistance stated then that these 50 doctors are Zionists spies collecting ‎information on the Palestinian resistance positions, while they supposed to ‎be an assistant from UAE. Then they were deported out of the Gaza Strip at ‎that time.‎”
Shaath “Recently The United Emirates exchanging a lot of trade and were doing a lot of ‎security deals and wheeling with the Zionist entity sending its aeroplanes to ‎Bin Gorian Airport, that under the cover and camouflaging it as they were ‎providing medical support to the Palestinians to overcome the Corona ‎pandemic,”.

Shaath continued to say that ” while the Palestinians’ refused to receive that aid and told them ‎[UAE] that they are betraying us, when we told you we refuse to receive anything ‎that coming through the Zionist entity airports , this is a normalising of ‎relationship between the Emirates and the Zionist entity. Still, , they ‎continued to send their aeroplanes, all of that is to cover up what type of loads ‎that the Emirates is bring back to Abu Dhabi from Tel Aviv .‎

The military of the Zionist entity ‘ Israel’ has launched aerial and ground attacks against targets across the besieged Gaza Strip for a second night in a row, while tightening their grip on the Gaza’s fishing activities and fuel imports.

Saeb Shaath talks to Press TV about the situation. “‎ Zionist entity ‘s warplanes bombed many areas across ‎the Gaza Strip, north and south Gaza strip, ‎ while artillery opened fire on a farming area beside al-‎Bureij refugee camp and on east of Rafah city.‎ The Zionists entity’s army just declared more Major ‎economic measures against the blockaded ‎population”.

Shaath said ”The Zionist occupation army just declared that it activated its ‘Laser Weapons Stations’ on the border of northern ‎Gaza to stop what called the incendiary balloons attacks ‎that are coming from Gaza” ‎.

Shaath added, ”fifteen years After the Palestinian resistance succeeded ‎in liberating the Gaza strip from the Zionist occupation ‎and its colonial settlers.‎ ‎ Following that the Zionist entity ‘Israel’ gradually ‎imposed a deadly blockade, in which they maintained ‎control of Gaza’s land borders, access to the sea and ‎airspace. ‎ Two million Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip, have ‎been subjected to a collective punishment through the ‎crippling Zionist blockade for over 12 years now while ‎Gaza’s inhabitants are exposed to repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the ‎Gaza’s infrastructure.” ‎

Shaath added “Gaza’s 2-million population are living under a strict ‎siege, which has destroyed the local economy, plunged ‎the Palestinians into unemployment and poverty, and cut ‎off the Gaza Strip from the rest of the occupied ‎Palestinian territories and the wider world.‎”

Gaza – SaebPress

Early morning Wednesday, (August 12, 2020), Zionist entity ‘Israel’ s warplanes bombed several sites across the besieged Gaza Strip,  a site to the southwest of the Gaza city, and another in the city of Rafah in the southern of Gaza Strip.

Zionist entity’s artillery opened fire on a farming area beside al-Bureij refugee camp and on the east of Rafah city.

Last night, Zionist entity’s attack helicopters opened fire on a site in the town of Beit-Lahia north of Gaza. The attacks caused a lot of damage in properties, but no human casualties were reported.

The Zionist media reported the attacks were in retaliation for the launching of incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip towards Zionist colonies, which targeted the illegal armed Zionist settlers and their colonies.

Fifteen years After the Palestinian resistance succeeded in liberating the Gaza strip from the Zionist occupation and its colonial settlers.   Following that the Zionist entity ‘Israel’ gradually imposed a deadly blockade, in which they maintained control of Gaza’s land borders, access to the sea and airspace. Two million Palestinians  who live in the Gaza Strip, have been subjected to a collective punishment through the crippling Zionist blockade for over 12 years now while Gaza’s inhabitants are exposed to repeated onslaughts that have heavily damaged much of the Gaza’s infrastructure.

Gaza’s 2-million population* are living under a strict siege, which has destroyed the local economy, plunged the Palestinians into unemployment and poverty, and cut off the Gaza Strip from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the wider world.

In Practical terms, Gaza remains occupied territory, having no control over its borders, territorial waters or airspace. Meanwhile, Zionist entity ‘Israel’, as the occupying power, failed to provide for the basic needs of the Palestinian civilians living in the Gaza strip.

*Every two in three Palestinians in Gaza are refugees who were ethnically cleansed from their towns and villages in historical Palestine, inside what is now called the Zionist entity ‘Israel’, who forbids them from exercising their right to return as enshrined in international law because they are not Jews.
