90 percent of Arab world on social media against normalization
Some 90% of discussions in Arabic on social media regarding the recent normalization deals of Arab countries with Israel have negative undertones, a new study by the Israel Strategic Affairs Ministry stated.
The report found that nearly 90% of the discussions were negative toward the UAE and its signing of its treaty with Israel, with 45% of the posts deeming the agreement as "treason." Additional criticism against the UAE focused on “interacting with Zionists" (27%,) UAE hypocrisy (10%,) and viewing the agreement as surrendering to US interests (5%.)
The main protagonists against normalization were found to be accounts associated with Hezbollah, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, alongside a series of Palestinian NGOs which promote delegitimization against Israel.
