Virtually all Arabs hate Israel but Arab governments are more varied. The modern Egyptian state is oriented toward close partnership with the US, and a large part of that was peace with Israel post '73.

So yes, the UAE could align with both.

Various Arab states maintain this balancing act between a virulently anti-Israel population and a US-aligned (in most cases, US-installed) regime that’s tacitly okay with the existence of Israel.

It’s actually surprising it’s achievable for so long but in the long term doesn’t feel stable given the direction things are headed
