Even if Israel proceeds with its plans to declare sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and settlements in Judea and Samaria, it will not stop the peace process between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, director of policy planning in the Emirati Foreign Ministry Jamal al-Musharakh told Israeli journalists at a press briefing Tuesday.

The historic visit to Abu Dhabi by the Israeli-US delegation ended Tuesday afternoon.

However, Musharakh emphasized that his government had "received assurances" from the American and Israeli governments that annexation would not proceed.

"We stopped the annexation and we are committed to Arab decisions about the Palestinians," he said.

Musharakh spoke harshly about Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who accused the UAE of "betraying the Palestinians" by making peace with Israel.

"The way to peace is not through incitement and hatred. That rhetoric does not help the path of peace or the regional path," he said.

The United Arab Emirates wants ties with Israel in all fields, quickly, Musharakh said.

"The talks were promising. Talks dealt with culture, diplomatic ties, aviation, and other things. There is much work to be done at all levels, but it has been proven that the path of peace leads to prosperity and cooperation."
