PA refuses UAE aid sent via Israel, won’t be ‘tool for normalization’ – report
|
[IsraelTimes] After Etihad Airways made history with first direct flight from Abu Dhabi to Ben-Gurion Airport, Ramallah sources tell Arab media the shipment wasn’t coordinated with Paleostinians.
The Paleostinian Authority government has refused to accept medical aid from the United Arab Emirates after it arrived on the first known direct commercial flight between Israel and the UAE, PA sources told multiple Arab media outlets.
The UAE-based airline made history Tuesday, as the plane loaded with 16 tons of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
 ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
aid for Paleostinians flew directly from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv.
Paleostinian media, as well as Russia Today Arabic, quoted a government source Thursday saying the aid had been rejected, explaining Ramallah was refusing to be used as a "tool for normalization" between Israel and the UAE. The two countires do not have diplomatic relations.
The source reportedly said the transfer of the medical aid had only been coordinated with Israel and the World Health Organization (WHO), and not with the Paleostinian Authority which governs Paleostinians in the West Bank.
That, the source claimed, indicated that the UAE intended to use the aid to improve its ties with Jerusalem on the "pretext" of aid to Paleostinians.
The source said any assistance to the Paleostinian people must be provided through coordination with Paleostinian authorities.
The Etihad cargo jet, painted in all white and lacking any marking, landed at Ben-Gurion Airport after seemingly flying a roundabout route through Iraq and either Jordan or The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
Etihad, a state-owned long-haul carrier, confirmed the flight to Ben Gurion Airport. Emirati government officials did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
The flight struck a rare moment of public cooperation between the UAE, home to Abu Dhabi and Dubai on the Arabian Peninsula, and Israel. The two emirates have no formal diplomatic ties to Israel, but have begun to increasingly cooperate openly after years of rumored back-channel discussions between them over the mutual enmity of Iran.
An Israeli official said the flight was delivering humanitarian aid provided by the UAE to the Paleostinians through the World Food Program, and that the cargo flight was coordinated with the Israeli government. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the subject.
The UAE’s state-run WAM news agency issued a statement saying it delivered 16 tons of protective gear, medical items and ventilators "to curb the spread of COVID-19 pandemic and its impact in the occupied Paleostinian territory." It did not acknowledge the flight or its significance.
Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
called the act a betrayal of the Paleostinians.
"Today, some Persian Gulf states have committed the biggest treachery against their own history and the history of the Arab world," Khamenei tweeted. "They have betrayed #Paleostine by supporting Israel. Will the nations of these states tolerate their leaders’ betrayal?"
