Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi on Tuesday called on the Palestinians to renew peace negotiations.
He made the remark in an interview to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) newspaper, Al-Ittihad, reports Xinhua news agency.
"I
call on the Palestinian leadership to recognize reality and show
responsibility and leadership as did the UAE leaders, by returning to
the negotiating table," Ashkenazi said, according to a Hebrew
translation of the interview issued by the Israeli foreign ministry.
Speaking
ahead of a White House ceremony to sign a normalization deal between
Israel, the UAE and Bahrain, Ashkenazi said he believes the agreement
will "significantly contribute to achieving peace, stability and
security in the region."
According to Minister, the agreement
strengthens the understanding that the time has come to move forward and
that "one must not remain stuck in the past".
The Palestinian
leadership, which has long accused the US President Donald Trump's
administration of being biased in favour of Israel, condemned the deals.
According to Palestinian officials, the deals betrayal the
Palestinian cause of ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, which were first seized by Israel during a 1967 war.
Later on Tuesday, Trump will host a ceremony to sign agreements to form official ties between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain.
The UAE and Bahrain became the first Gulf countries to agree to establish official relations with Israel.
Previously, only two Arab countries, Egypt and Jordan, had signed peace agreements with Israel.
