Wonder what territory Israel had to give up to get this agreement.

[Jim W N]

There’s a better source for the same thing that was posted seconds before this one so maybe take this off breaking news.

Interesting...amazing,in fact.I wonder if Saudi,Kuwait,etc will follow suit.

[outofsalt]

The Strait of Hormuz should be better defensible with this agreement, though Sheik Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan may not be. I pray this leads to greater peace in the region.

It’s not a race.

Does anyone really beleive that this treaty reflects any core change in attitudes among the Arabs? This has more to do with a need to cooperate against their common enemy Iran than any fundamental change. Israeli F-35s could make good use of airfields in the UAE.

This should be at the top of every masthead of every newspaper in America. This is a Nobel Peace Prize truly earned. Congratulations, Mr. President. #Israel #UnitedArabEmirates #PeaceDeal https://t.co/fUvuDCM92R— James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) August 13, 2020

Having worked with the UAE recently for a three year period in aerospace, I can tell you they are very pragmatic. Different than the Saudi’s

[Jim W N]

The other is a better source.

They always take down my posts from Breaking News. Surprisingly, this one has stayed up longer than I thought it would.

[Jim W N]

But aren’t they Islamists like all of the Arab countries who adhere to the Quoran and Sharia law?

[milagro]

Amen!
Even CNN had to cover the Oval Office announcement.

[Jim W N]

The agreement says Israel had to give up territory to get this agreement AS ALWAYS. What territory?

What’s the benefit to Israel?

[FreedomNotSafety]

I’m going with this thread. Yours has the better headline. And it has more replies.

[Vigilanteman]

Dubai’s airport is already an airline hub for the Middle East. This move will only enhance their status as such.

[Georgia Girl 2]

They all want to thwart Iran. It’s not about territory.

[Shark24]

Yes, very much so but they are pragmatic too. They realize the US is a better friend than Iran and respect Americans. Will that be the case in the future? Pragmatic as I said.

[Jim W N]

Well, it is about territory since according to the agreement, Israel cannot claim anymore land it believes belongs to them.

[Jim W N]

“Trust but verify...”

...and watch that UAE knife aimed at Israel’s back...

[Georgia Girl 2]

That’s not giving up territory already held.
