'Ali Baba and 40 thieves'

UAE's Foreign Minister called the Palestinian leadership, "Ali Baba and the 40 thieves" and claimed senior officials in the Palestinian Authority are "useless" and therefore "replacing them with one another will only lead to the same result."

“Why would the UAE give assistance to them without real reforms?", said UAE's Foreign Minister.

All this heated exchange happened in front of Anthony Blinken during a summit in Saudi Arabia.
