US President Donald Trump has announced the full normalisation of ties between the UAE and Israel.
As part of the deal, Israel will suspend plans to annex Palestinian territory.
Trump says the US helped broker the deal – which will see the UAE and Israel exchange embassies and ambassadors.
The two nations are expected to meet in the coming weeks to sign agreements.
However, Hamas has accused the UAE of stabbing Palestinians in the back by agreeing to a deal with Israel.
The Palestinian group based in Gaza says the deal effectively “rewards” Israel for its occupational crimes.
Mustafa Barghouti, leader of the Palestinian National Initiative and member of the Central Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, talks to Al Jazeera.
