AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Palestinian resistance groups and Bahrain’s al-Wefaq National Islamic Society have condemned Israel’s meeting with a number of Arab states' foreign ministers in the occupied Negev amid an Israeli plan to construct new settlements there.
Top diplomats from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Morocco, Egypt, Bahrain, the United States, and Israel are scheduled to meet in the Negev desert on Sunday and Monday to press ahead with a US-brokered normalization of relations between the Arab states and the Israeli regime.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Israel on Saturday for the talks, which come in light of renewed Israeli violence in Negev, where the regime in Tel Aviv plans to construct ten new Jewish towns.
In a statement on Sunday, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas denounced the meeting held on the occupied land of Palestine at a time when the Israeli regime continues its “worst forms of settlement construction and Judaization of our Islamic and Christian holy sites, and our people are experiencing various forms of persecution, terrorism, killing and displacement.”
Hamas reiterated its “absolute rejection” of all forms of normalization with the occupying regime, stressing that such meetings “only serve the enemy in perpetuating its continuous aggression against our land, our people, and our holy sites.”
The resistance movement also called on the Arab countries that signed the so-called Abraham Accords with Israel to reconsider their move in order to honor their historical responsibilities to protect al-Quds and Palestine from the Israeli regime.
The so-called Abraham Accords refer to the normalization agreements reached between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain in 2020 mediated by former US President Donald Trump's administration. Morocco and Sudan later reached similar US-brokered deals with the Israeli regime.
The deals have been roundly condemned by Palestinians as a brazen betrayal of their cause.
