ABU DHABI, 13th August, 2020 (WAM) -- President Donald J. Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, spoke today and agreed to the full normalisation of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.

This historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region. All three countries face many common challenges and will mutually benefit from today’s historic achievement.

Delegations from Israel and the United Arab Emirates will meet in the coming weeks to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit. Opening direct ties between two of the Middle East's most dynamic societies and advanced economies will transform the region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and forging closer people-to-people relations.

As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the United Arab Emirates, 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 United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates are confident that additional diplomatic breakthroughs with other nations are possible, and will work together to achieve this goal.

The United Arab Emirates and Israel will immediately expand and accelerate cooperation regarding the treatment of and the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus. Working together, these efforts will help save Muslim, Jewish, and Christian lives throughout the region.

This normalisation of relations and peaceful diplomacy will bring together two of America’s most reliable and capable regional partners. Israel and the United Arab Emirates will join with the United States to launch a Strategic Agenda for the Middle East to expand diplomatic, trade, and security cooperation. Along with the United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates share a similar outlook regarding the threats and opportunities in the region, as well as a shared commitment to promoting stability through diplomatic engagement, increased economic integration, and closer security coordination. Today’s agreement will lead to better lives for the peoples of the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and the region.

The United States and Israel recall with gratitude the appearance of the United Arab Emirates at the White House reception held on January 28, 2020, at which President Trump presented his Vision for Peace, and express their appreciation for United Arab Emirates’ related supportive statements. The parties will continue their efforts in this regard to achieve a just, comprehensive and enduring resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As set forth in the Vision for Peace, all Muslims who come in peace may visit and pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque, and Jerusalem’s other holy sites should remain open for peaceful worshippers of all faiths.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan express their deep appreciation to President Trump for his dedication to peace in the region and to the pragmatic and unique approach he has taken to achieve it.

That’s sad.

The good news is Israel and Trump aren’t going to play that game anymore... Well, unless Arabs want to give up land for peace.

[caww]

But it very well could be a blueprint of what it will be coming together which is why I mentioned “a hint”....but there will always be territorial Issues involved in any agreement...even then.

As for the AntiChrist figure...he will be a man of cunning peace initially as according to Daniel 11:21 it sounds like he rises to power peaceably and will either initiate or be directly involved in the Accord..

Whats interesting in todays agreement is Israel opening up Jerusalem with access to muslims ( Noted in Daniel 9:27; Daniel 11:28, 30)

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Not to worry. There WILL be a Nobel Peace Prize concerning this. It will go to Oboogaloo, Sleepy Joe and Susan Rice. After all, it was their groundwork that allowed Drumpf to get this accord.

</sarc>

While this is sarcasm, you can rest assured that the press will push something about PDJT ‘inheriting’ the situation and that it was all done by Dhimmicrats before him.

In the longer term, “All of Israel will be saved” and Christ shall rule from Jerusalem, so whatever happens now, Israel will be reconciled to its God and to its land.

Yes, YES , YES!!! Praise be God!!

Israel has walked right into a trap. The argument will now go that if ‘they halt annexation of parts of Judea and Samaria for peace, than for a wider peace with other arab countries they can relinqish all control if territory captured since 67’
The media will now push this angle. Bet on it. A small strategic gain now will be swamped by being forced back to a smaller geographically area that cannot be defended

[Long Jon No Silver]

And you can bet there is no reciprical opening up of UAE to Christians and Jews to worship freely and protected. PT has sealed his fate.

Does that include east Jerusalem as well as the West Bank? If so then what did Jared's peace plan really get them except a photo op with the UAE?

[DoodleDawg]

How does it benefit us?

Nice photo op.

Pretty sure Muslims already have access to the temple grounds (in Jerusalem) since they have a mosque there.

No, the map from the President's plan is below. The parts of the West Bank to become a palestinian state are in blue-green. No Jewish (or Arab) cities are evacuated. Jerusalem remains undivided. Israel retains a corridor along the Jordan River. The agreement suspends, Netanyahu's word, Israeli annexation at this time, however he states I will never give up on our right to our land so I suppose the situation decades from now will be dependent on palestinian conduct. I don't know the details, but I think this is a positive for Israel diplomatically, look for more Arab states, particularly in the Gulf, to follow the UAE's lead. The palestinians, kind of irrelevant since not only don't they accept the plan, the reject even talking about it. With wider Arab recognition, they become irrelevant.

Should have posted this with my ping

None.

This is a message to Iran.

[Jim W N]

Then I’ll have to amend my praise a bit for this accord.

There is NO justification in this agreement for Israel to have to forfeit claiming land that is rightfully theirs. Both parties already benefit from uniting against Iran with any land rights being forfeited.

I am sick and tired of the U.S. pushing Israel into agreements that take way their land rights.

Jared’s involvement should have given me pause and I’ll have to amend my praise a bit for this accord.

[Jim W N]

correction...

...withOUT any land rights being forfeited...

[caww]

Perhaps reading the article again will clarify these things for you. There are several on FR now.

[Jim W N]

...while they take another swipe at Israel’s land rights - and for no reason in the context of the purpose of this thing.

I hate that.

Jared’s involvement should have given me pause.
