Ramallah, MINA – The Palestinian Authority announced the cancellation of its participation in the World Expo in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The step was decided in a cabinet meeting in Ramallah on Monday, under the leadership of Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh. This was quoted from Wafa.
This is done as a form of protest over the declaration of normalization of relations between Israel and the UAE last week.
Muhammad Shtayyeh considered the UAE’s move a clear deviation from the Arab consensus, and instead encouraged Israel to continue its aggression in the Palestinian territories.
