RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2
SUBTOPIC: Abraham Accords Peace Agreement (AAPA)
⁜→ P F Tinmore, Hollie, et al,
BLUF: I think you made a mistake. Our Friend Hollie is absolutely correct in regard to the Abraham Accords Peace Agreement (AAPA).
It was NOT an arms agreement. There was a regional strategic political rider to it, but it had nothing to do with "arms" or defense support. The US already had a significant set of Understandings with the UAE for some time now. In fact, the US-UAE relations are so good that there are two USO locations in-country (Dubai+Dhabi) for US Military personnel. The US has had Defense Cooperation Agreement in place since 2019, with a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system (≈$28B) and a Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) process (≈ $7B) since about 2014; working out of the Air Forces Central Command Air Warfare Center. There is absolutely NO need for a supplemental Arms Agreement as you call it.
I think you have this mixed-up with something else.
Most Respectfully,
R

Maybe the UAE has decided that there are priorities other than throwing money at failure and incompetence.
The United Arab Emirates drastically reduced its funding to the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees in 2020, the year it signed a United States-brokered normalisation accord with Israel that was heavily criticised by the Palestinian Authority.
(COMMENT)That wasn't a peace agreement. It was an arms agreement.
