Jerusalem: Palestinian in Jerusalem rejects the Ramadan meal offered by the United Arab Emirate, hence arguing that the Gulf State is coinciding with the Israeli occupation of Palestine.
As recently, the United Arab Emirate has sent their cyclists to take part in the international Giro d’Italia cycle race, Italy. The team of cyclists passed through occupied Jerusalem on the occasion of 70th anniversary of the Nakba.
Hence, as a gesture of protest, the Jerusalemite activists have started a trend on Twitter with a hashtag – #WeAreNotHungry – and rejected the meal of Ramadan given by the UAE for pilgrims to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Tweeter users showed their strong anger towards the United Arab Emirates and Baharin as well called them ally of Israel.
While the participation of UAE riders in the race has also been condemned by the Palestinian Olympic Committee and described the participation as an act of deception against the struggle of the Palestinian people.
Earlier the Washington Post reported that the ambassadors of the Bahrain and UAE, Yousef Al-Otaiba and Abdullah Bin Rashed Al-Khalifa, have already met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a restaurant in Washington. And now, Bahrain has also sent their cyclists to participate in the similar event.With inputs from agencies.
