Under the agreement, Israel said it has agreed to suspend the annexation of Palestinian lands in the occupied West Bank, while it focuses on expanding ties with other Arab countries.
The UAE is the third Arab country to establish relations with Israel after Egypt, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979, and Jordan, which signed a similar treaty in 1994.
Palestinian observers expected that the UAE-Israeli agreement would encourage other Arab and Islamic countries to establish normalized diplomatic relations with Israel.
Nabil Amr, former representative of Palestine in the Arab League, said the general trend indicates that a number of Arab and Islamic countries are heading for full normalization with Israel regardless of the settlement of the Palestinian issue.
"This will greatly harm the Palestinians and their cause, and blocks chances for achieving a just and comprehensive peace," Amr told Xinhua.
Palestinians are concerned about placing obstacles against holding an emergency Arab meeting to discuss the UAE-Israeli agreement.
"They are also concerned that a meeting might be held at a low level so the decisions will not take serious actions against the UAE given the fact that normalization of relations is a sovereign decision," Amr pointed out.
Meanwhile, Ramallah-based political observer Ahmed Awad emphasized that the UAE-Israeli agreement weakens the Palestinian position and encourages other countries to follow the example of the UAE.
