Emirati citizens launched the tag "Excluded Asala" and the tag became popular in the Emirates, due to her admiration for a publication written by the Lebanese artist Elissa, related to the normalization of Arab countries with Israel.

Asala had put a mark of admiration on a publication by the artist Elisa, in which she talks about Lebanon's relationship with the Palestinian cause, as she demanded not to bid on her country in this regard "from people who live in countries that have peace agreements with Israel."

Elisa's post came 3 weeks after the UAE announced a peace treaty with Israel, under the auspices of the United States of America. Some believe that this attack on the artist may have been behind the Emirati artist Ahlam, who expresses the originality of hostility.
