Jawaher al-Qasimi criticizes cooperation between UAE, Israel in education Diana Shalouhb | 29.01.2021
ISTANBUL
The wife of the ruler of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has criticized an online meeting between the Emirati and Israeli education ministries to discuss cooperation, student exchange and joint academic studies.
Sheikha Jawaher al-Qasimi said in a brief tweet on the Israeli education: Their methodology recommends killing an Arab and usurping an Arab s land.
Al-Qasimi s tweet is the most explicit objection and rejection to come from elite ruling circles in the UAE, which announced the establishment of official relations with Israel roughly four months ago amid Palestinian rejection and widespread criticism in the country and the Arab world.
