The immediate fallout of the normalisation of ties between United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel, since August 14, 2020, is to be felt on Pakistan, as it is widely speculated that soon Pakistan expats would be dispatched back home from UAE as well as from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), as there is a continuous and renewed pressure on Pakistan from both UAE and KSA to accept Israel, which Pakistan along with Iran and may be quite unlikely. Pakistan PM Imran Khan has also acknowledged this in his recent interview.
UAE, since the last three months is rapidly getting into the Israel mould. By the first week of September 2020, the hospitality and hotels sector in Dubai was gearing with ‘Kosher’-the Israeli food, to meet to the influx of Israeli visitors, ten days later, Israeli models were ‘pyjama and Israeli flag’ shooting in UAE. By the first of October UAE announced a change in policy to grant citizenship to expats and on October 19, 2020, the first commercial flight from UAE landed in Israel.
The first week of November 2020, saw UAE change in its law and allowed ‘live-in’ relationship and ‘loosened’ the alcohol restrictions. While UAE sought F-35 stealth fighters from US, which has now been notified to US Congress on November 11, 2020-Israel opposed it diehard, and also strangely, an Israeli newspaper IsraelHayom on November 15, 2020 1 reported that two Israeli citizens were arrested in Dubai for ‘photographing’, towards which now it says ‘page not found’, was related by AA.Com.Tr 2 the same day, but the shaky Dubai establishment rubbished the news as fake. UAE initiative towards ‘formalisation’ had no doubt come after a ‘green-signal’ from KSA and KSA position towards Israel is now also all too visible, and it is only a matter a time when such an announcement arrives. May be after January 21, 2021 when either US president Donald Trump continues or Joseph Biden takes over.
UAE stand for Pakistan is also now hardening, to such an extent, that Pakistan foreign ministry and foreign office, were all taken unawares as UAE went ahead to announce a ban on Pakistan citizens into UAE, due to the spread of COVID-19 on November 18, 2020. ‘In a statement, (Pakistan) Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhry said that officials were in contact with the UAE authorities concerned to seek official confirmation of the measures’ reported TheTribune.Com.Pk 3 . There have been 11 countries banned alongside namely Turkey, Iran, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, Kenya and Afghanistan among others. But, there is a catch, as an underline policy can easily be accessed. UAE has banned such nations which do not recognise Israel. Or else, US and other European countries along with India which have been so badly marred by the outbreak of COVID-19, have all been given a ‘relaxation’!
The surge of Corona-Virus positive patients in the wake of the ‘incoming wave’ is making nations toil. Pakistan population is more than 200 million and its daily cases are 2843 according to Covid.gov.pk on November 21, 2020 4 and UAE population is about 10 million whereas its daily cases are 1269, informs Covid19.ncema.gov.ae/en, going by that yardstick should Pakistan also ban UAE citizens in reciprocation? Whereas, Israel which also has more or less the same population size as that of UAE has been reported to be treating one of the world highest rates of Corona-Virus patients on a per capita basis, highlighted Al Jazeera on September 23, 2020 6 . Can UAE mull the same for the citizens from Israel? Unthinkable. As for India, which sits pretty-well as per UAE norms, there is an average of around 50,000 daily reported cases of Corona-Virus positive patients.
UAE and Pakistan are now getting ‘quite uneasy’ and there are signs of ‘increased thaw’ as UAE, after its bonhomie with Israel, has gone ahead with installing an ‘intelligence-base’ at Socotra Island in Yemen, which is primarily to ‘keep-an-eye’ on Gwadar Port in Balochistan, Pakistan, from where China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is to make its gateway to let the Chinese exports reach the Mediterranean countries, Europe and US, which US wants to block with the help of Israel while it does with China the same in straits of Malacca.
India, on its part has already signaled to all the Gulf-states that China is a temporary friend, referred TheHinduBusinessLine on September 8, 2020 7 which actually meant that now Pakistan is to advise China on Gulf-affairs, and therefore India, Israel and US are now to be the friends with Gulf-nations, where India is ready to provide UAE and others with its mammoth workforce based on a whole army of software engineers/technical bankers etc coupled with Israel ready to provide security wherewithal which would be a ‘bye-bye’ to Pakistan, as UAE and its guiding force i.e. KSA are both to ‘condition’ their relations with Israel at the cost of Pakistan.
The Israel ‘IsrAir flight’ from Tel Aviv to India, had recently made a detour over Mecca, on November 10, 2020, informs TimesofIsrael 8 , something unprecedented in the last 72 years, owing to bad-weather, as if such an atmospheric-condition had never happened before! US president Trump if he retains the seat or if Biden makes to it, are both likely to bludgeon KSA, the leader of the ring, to open embassy of Israel, all the very soon. Middle-East, after August 14, 2020, is therefore never to be the same again.

Indian RAW is funding in Pakistan and promoting terrorism. This is just to prove Pakistan a terrorist state but don’t worry at the end “Gazwa hind” will occur in near end of time insha’Allah.
This is not end. Ups and downs of nations is a process of time. We Muslims ruled the world and subcontinent now you are leading but after time we Muslims will uprise again according to our holy book. Enjoy your time.
What a joke! You did not rule the world. You were the victims of Islamic terror, forced to convert. Typical of Pakistanis to piggyback on others. No different than Pakistani restaurants calling themselves Indian.
India is funding and promoting terrorism in Pakistan my RAW. We fought 10 years with this terrorism now there is peace in Pakistan. Indian is trying hard to prove Pakistan terrorist state. Carry on.
We will erase every mark of hindus and zionist people will forget holocaust and Hitler 💪
😂😂

You should focus on development of community by promoting scientific and human values otherwise you people will remain uneducated fanatic and backwards like today. And one more thing what about tsunami of ex Muslim I urge 50 Islamic nation to become secular and abolish apostasy.

No sympathies for Pakistan. But the spineless Arabs have betrayed the Palestinians. Fake leaders of the Muslim world. Couldn’t even stand up against China.
Thank you, keep your sympathy for yourself. We in Pakistan dont need it
Being exit is not punch for us … Alhamdulillah… I ask Allah Rabul Izzat plz dont make us in hypocrites In Deen dunya o akhirah… ameen sum ameen … live long Palestine live long pakistan …
Very soon Arabs will realize their big mistake. Pakistan is powerful country with powerful army. Indians are coward army they even can’t cross pakistani borders… Arabs are stupid even di not know their strength

There is no matter of concern since allah said in quran,” mohummad( pbuh) is from arab but if they did any thing against islam, then their control on muslim world will be taken away from them and it will be given to any other country.
Now it is time for pakistan to form alliance with the heart of khurasan countries, inorder to end the rule of greater israel.
This is fake Indian website which has replicated same article of Euro Asian times. Fak foreign titles are used because ashamed to use Indian own name.
These predictions were given 1400 years before about Arabs and region that Jews will occupy the Arabs and Arabs will ruin. This is happening and Pakistan is ready for that because at the end the ups and downs will occur with the destruction of Arabs
Its a case of supporting US backed Israel or Allah swt backed Palistine.
You Arab’s who call yourself Muslims, shame on you.
No big terrorist than Israel
India factory of terrorism
Arabs bunch of stupids
Happy unification
Allah is with pakistan and whatever Israel will try to do. they will never defeat pakistan. they are trying to increase hardships for Imran khan but inshallah it will reverse
These guys should exit the dreamy world they are living in.Dnt you know Pakistan?Offcourse you does.Pakistan is daring and shame on terrorists countries who kill muslims in their own territory and get support by same sick and unkind countries.Pakistan is doing the right thing by the grace of Almighty Allah.الحمداللہ
Arabs will do what US says. The news of UAE KSA and Israel is not new to us. We knew it since last couple of decades. So let them go their way and we will go our way. We had fought for Arab lands and given sacrifices in blood. No one else can do that. All the best to them.
Being exit is not punch for us … Alhamdulillah… I ask Allah Rabul Izzat plz dont make us in hypocrites In Deen dunya o akhirah… ameen sum ameen … live long Palestine live long pakistan …
Wait and watch, time and destiny set things?!?!
This site looks like a fake propaganda site and Haider Abbas is an antagonist. There is no such thing as anyone exit from UAE. UAE is a peaceful country which accommodates all nationalities and faiths. Politically they want to see the peace maintained in their country and the region by being friends to everyone around them. All the other jokers are trying to make fun out of this policy and insulting UAE policies, for e.g Haider Abbas.
We Pakistanis are used to being stabbed on the back by our Arab muslim brothers. nothing new here. This was ordained.
Allhumdollillah we are on right path
Please stop worrying about pakistan. We are capable of taking care of ourselves. Kindly focus on the kashmir atrocities and the poor muslims killed and beaten up in your country which the world belives has been secular since inception. Thank you and hope your writers, like the rest of your establishment stop obsessing about us. Actually we in Pakistan find it quite amusing 🙂
China ?? 🤔
Pakistan and UAE have brotherly relations since decades. Countries dreaming that the relations of both nations are over.,are living in fool’s paradise. I hope visionary leadership of both countries will rise to the situation and successfully resolve the issues soon. I wish media should stop creating hipe.
I 💜 🇦🇪 and 🧡 🇵🇰
I saw relationship between Pakistan and UAE was very nice and it will be in the future I wish to Allah bless both countries and make relations much better and please everyone don’t fight each others ! leave others and keep praying 🙏 from Allah
God bless the Muslim world and keep us safe from them hindus and jews.I wish Hitler would have finished the Jews
It is really sad news to know
THE PHOTO IS SO LOVELY AND RIGHT ON TARGET!
IT CAPTURES LUXURY-LOVING ARAB HYPOCRISY SO WELL IN JUST ONE FRAME!
STRICT HIJAAB FOR ARAB WOMEN, WHILE BEARDLESS MEN HOLD HANDS OF SEDUCTIVE WOMEN IN PRIVATE.
THIS IS HOW ISRAEL AND US ARE PULLING DOWN AND DEBASING THE ARABS BACK TO THE TIMES OF IGNORANCE BEFORE THE NOBLE PROPHET TAUGHT THEM CIVILITY AND HUMANITY.
SUBHANALLAH.
PRAYING FOR ALLAH TO BRING THEM BACK (HIDAYAH) TO GENUINE ISLAM WITH THE OIL-RICHES ALLAH HAS BESTOWED ON THEM AS AMAANAH FOR THE ENTIRE MUSLIM UMMAH ALL OVER THE WORLD.
MAY ALLAH OPEN THE HARMAIN SHARIFAIN (Mecca, Medinah, Umrah, Hajj) BACK TO NORMAL AND CRUSH THE DAJJAL Covid HOAX AND the stupid ineffective vaccines and the Zionist–distancing in SALAAH.
MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN QADR OF ALLAH AND NOT THE SCARE-MONGERING OF “ZION” OR THEIR ARAB-MENTAL SLAVES.
Following Zionic Dajjal Propaganda is definitely “SHIRK” of TAGUT, Allah will never forgive.
AAMEEN.
