Was the UAE ever a goddess on PDF?
If anything we should have dealt with them years ago but with so many Pakistani's working there, thanks to years of inept governance by the PML-N and PPP as well as Musharraf's stupid economic liberalization program, it became difficult to deal with them without losses of remittances.
We opposed UAE's brutal campaign of terror in Yemen:

The UAE has long been a hub of organized crime and money laundering for many of Pakistan's worst criminals both in Parliament and beyond:

They've long been believed to be financing not just Hindu terror but also liberal/secular terrorists like the BLA in Pakistan:

I had to travel to the UAE last year. Got a beautiful, large sea view condo next to the beach but I did not like the experience. Admittedly I was busy doing a lot of other things but I enjoy my time in Pakistan more even Toronto has a better walking experience for me and don't even get me started on how horribly hot it is during summers with no escape whereas in Pakistan I can just travel to Murree or Gilgit. Another friend of mine, also a Pakistani-Canadian, who traveled there a few months earlier felt the same way.
I think there's a minority of people who think Dubai is something special and by extension want to feel like they're special in some way for being there or owning property there. However, most just go there for money making opportunities regardless of their background (ex. Pakistani, Indian, etc...) and don't really give a damn about the place.
Like the rest of Yemen.
Like I said before not sure why anyone even listens to Fazlur Rehman.
Supports the PML-N but also opposes the mandir in Islamabad which Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N agreed to build with Pakistani tax dollars literally financing shirk.
He's a complete fraud and this was just another example.
As for those who may or may not have supported that "haram barrel of diesel" it should be a welcome change that more are turning against him just as it would be a welcome change to see more turning against Billo Rani and the PPP or Maryam and the PML-N, etc...
Well that's not happening but we must always remain vigilant and need to push for an industrialization focused government mandate and policies to escape their clutches.
However, my view is that the UAE-Israel normalization is more of a move against Turkey and attempting to bolster Trump in the upcoming elections because there's a real danger they'll face harsh sanctions and other actions over their terrorism in Yemen.
Considering Turkey and Pakistan's burgeoning ties, which hopefully will and should culminate into a mutal defence agreement between our two nations, it's not surprising that they'd do this as well.
