Trump announces peace agreement between Israel and UAE
President Trump announced a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates Thursday that will usher in the “full normalization of relations” between the nations.
Mr. Trump, who first touted the agreement on Twitter, said the two countries will exchange embassies and ambassadors and “begin cooperation across the board.” The president said he anticipates other nations will follow their lead.
“The relationship has become a very good one with — between UAE and Israel, and also with other other counties,” Mr. Trump said in an Oval Office announcement, surrounded by his top aides. He added, “I think you’ll be seeing some very exciting things, including ultimately with the Palestinians. I think that’s going to be happening at some point, because it makes a lot of sense for them to let it happen.”
According to a joint statement by the U.S., Israel and the UAE, Israel will suspend its plans to annex parts of the West Bank. “As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump, Israel will suspend declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President’s Vision for Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the Arab and Muslim world,” the statement reads.
