US President Donald Trump has announced that Israel and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to improve bilateral relations. President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed of Abu Dhabi, in a joint statement on Thursday, expressed hope that this historic development would help bring peace to the Middle East. The statement added that as a result, Israel would suspend plans to integrate more of the occupied West Bank into Israel. Until now, there have been no diplomatic relations between Israel and the Gulf Arab states. The two countries had informal contacts due to concerns over Iran's regional influence. In response to President Trump's tweet, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted in Hebrew, "historic day." "This is a victory for diplomacy and the region," said Youssef al-Atiba, the UAE's ambassador to the United States.
"This is a significant step forward in Arab-Israeli relations, which will reduce tensions and bring about positive change," he said. This is Israel's third peace deal with an Arab country since its founding in 1948. Israel has previously signed peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan in 1979 and 1994.
In the coming days, a series of meetings between the delegations of Israel and the United Arab Emirates will begin, covering investment, tourism, direct air agreements, security, communications, technology, energy, health, culture, environment, and each other's capitals. Matters of opening an embassy will be settled. According to the joint statement, the two countries will also be involved in advancing the "defense agenda for the Middle East" by the United States. The leaders of the two countries also said that they have a common understanding of the threats to the region and other issues and opportunities. In addition, the leaders of the two countries share the determination and determination to create stability in the region through diplomatic relations, economic ties, and security cooperation.
