Joint Statement by the United States, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates
whitehouse.gov ^ | August 31, 2020 | White House

The accord reached between the United States, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on August 13, 2020, is a courageous step toward a more stable, integrated, and prosperous Middle East.

The accord inverts traditional thinking about the way to address the region’s problems and challenges, focusing on pragmatic steps that have tangible, practical outcomes. It carries with it the promise of new bridges that will serve to de-escalate existing conflicts and prevent future conflicts.

And it comes at the right time. Over the last decade we have seen a marked increase in war, destruction, and dislocation, and a growing demographic shift towards a younger population. If we are to meet the needs of current and future generations, we must be responding actively to all these changes.

The accord has initiated a historic breakthrough in normalizing ties between Israel and the UAE and has led to the suspension of Israel’s plans to extend its sovereignty. The United States and the UAE urge Palestinian leaders to reengage with their Israeli counterparts in discussions aimed at achieving peace.

On Saturday, the UAE formally abolished its 40-year boycott law, thereby allowing UAE companies and individuals to trade directly with Israel.

Israeli and Emirati ministers, from foreign affairs to food security, have initiated their first official discussions on continuing and strengthening cooperation. We have already opened phone lines between the two countries and, as we speak, Israelis and Emiratis are collaborating on research we hope will lead to a breakthrough in the treatment of COVID-19.

Today we have witnessed the first commercial flight by Israel’s El Al airlines to the UAE, carrying both Israeli officials and media. Tomorrow, Emirati, Israeli and American officials will begin discussing bilateral technical cooperation in seven key areas: investment, finance, health, the civilian space program, civil aviation, foreign policy and diplomatic affairs, and tourism and culture. The result will be broad cooperation between two of the region’s most innovative and dynamic economies.

The UAE and Israel wish to express their gratitude for the overwhelmingly positive response to this historic accord from governments around the world. They are especially grateful to President Donald J. Trump for his leadership and to his administration for the critical role it has played in achieving this diplomatic breakthrough. They are also greatly encouraged by the broad bipartisan support for this breakthrough from the United States Congress.

All the countries hope and expect that in the near future our collective efforts will set in motion a cascade of positive changes, both large and small, that will put our respective peoples and the wider region on a solid path to security, prosperity, and peace.

The sovereign absolute monarchy is a federation of seven emirates consisting of Abu Dhabi (which serves as the capital), Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain.
Their boundaries are complex, with numerous enclaves within the various emirates. Each emirate is governed by a ruler; together, they jointly form the Federal Supreme Council. One of the rulers serves as the President of the United Arab Emirates.
In 2013, the UAE's population was 9.2 million, of which 1.4 million are Emirati citizens and 7.8 million are expatriates
.

7.8 million people are expatriates...that is, FOREIGNERS. That's means the Emirates are OVERWHELMINLY foreigners.
The cities are filled with shopping malls all cooled down to 60°!

The Arab population is a giant MINORITY in its own country. The Emirates are big cities in a big desert. Nothing there but imported stuff for the majority foreigners to buy.

HOT! HOT! HOT!

Hottern hades!

So true...NOTHING there and the Emirates are all but OUT of petroleum. They have to rely on Uncle Saudi for their $riyal$.

Peace and security.

At least they didn’t say 7 years.

I’m thinking it will be some guy out of Europe. That’s what John Ankerberg thinks too.

"...that will put our respective peoples and the wider region on a solid path to security, prosperity, and peace."

Every time I heard them call this deal that gives away God's land the "Abraham Accord" - all I can think of is the blasphemy of that title. We are mocking the very covenant that God with made Abraham and the Jewish people.

Immediately after Trump announced the "Deal of the Century", this happened, and was felt at Mar-a-Lago.

We have been under God's judgment as a nation every since: COVID, tyranny, economic collapse, riots - and on and on.

It will only get worse from here on out.

"From the people of the old Roman Empire--looks clear enough to me... "

Just for fun:
-Constantinople was the capital of the eastern Roman empire.
-All seven churches mentioned in the Book of Revelation were in Turkey.
-Constantinople was built on seven hills.
-The statue mentioned in Daniel's dream had legs of iron, and feet of iron and clay. Two legs could be interpreted as some sort of division of that empire.

There are other items, but you get the idea.

Bump to your #7.

The devil tempted man to sin and question the LORD’s Word in the beginning. Man ignores the counsel of the word of God to his own detriment and will reap what he has sown. (Genesis 12:3,Zechariah 8:2, Proverbs 21:30)

Appears like they did a bait and switch here for this “accord”:

Laura became a Cat 4 hurricane that tied for the strongest Louisiana landfalling hurricane on record the same week Pompeo and Kushner were in the Mideast pushing for ‘Arab-Israeli peace’.

Yup. God gives us all kinds of warnings, we don’t listen.

Another warning? *Psalm 18:7*

“An earthquake hit Florida on Thursday. How often does that happen?”

“...While it didn’t hit Florida directly, a number of Floridians also felt the rumble of a magnitude 7.7 earthquake near Jamaica in January.”

“For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:3

Natural disasters amping up after this ‘deal’...is anyone taking notice? I believe the UAE agreement is the beginning/foundation for the ‘covenant with many’.

AKA Isaiah 28:18:

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.”

Interesting title:
