The UAE is pressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace proposal at their meeting on Monday and to abandon any plan to annex the West Bank, a delegate with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
The United Arab Emirates, the most prominent Arab country to normalise ties with Israel under the Abraham Accords, warned Netanyahu that annexation would shut the door to further Israeli normalisation with leading Arab and Muslim nations, including Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, the delegate added.
The Israeli leader faces pressure to annex the West Bank from far-right politicians who want to extend sovereignty over the area and snuff out hopes for a Palestinian state.
A senior Israeli official has said that Netanyahu will give Israel's response to Trump's Gaza peace proposal at his meeting with the U.S. leader on Monday. Netanyahu was greeted by Trump outside the White House doors with a handshake.
