Trump announces 'Historic Peace Agreement' between Israel, UAE

[Rune]

HA HA HA WTF are you yammering? all you can post is rants.

The diplomatic blockade to Israeli relations is crumbling in the ME.

Moron.
The ME will never change. Ever.

The Gulf States are some of the most Western-Liberal (in the classical sense) Arab states there are. They are looking to bring their nations out of being theocratic monarchies and into being prosperous capitalist ones with some social-welfare aspects mixed in. To do that, they have to give up tribalism and ethnic hatred which they are doing, but that takes time to occur.

Bibi gets a BJ. is that what you want to hear?

Bibi gets a chance to stay in power, same as Trump, stupid shitstain.

Just another thing Trump managed to get done that Obama and Biden could not.

It was in the works for 10 years...Trump, playing left-out, just happened to stick his glove out as the ball went by.

I have no idea if they want to get rid of a monarchy - nothing I've read says they do.

Yes they want western investment - but what this really is about is they have no quarrel with Israel
and there is no reason to carry on the Arab block views of the 20th century that "Israel cannot be tolerated"

That and maybe some local geopolitics, like tying their security to Israel as Egypt has

Just another monarchy desperate to avoid the fate of the crooked Shah of Iran. The UAE has already thrown in its lot with the degenerate Saudis- and its losing the US/Izrael initiated war in Yemen.
Will we ever know how much Trump has paid the UAE for this Zion- gobbling ?

ROFL.. It just did, and has been doing so.
Israel is no longer a pariah for Jordan, Egypt, the UAE -even KSA recognizes their security needs overlap w/Israel

joint report describes how Yemen is in the eye of a “perfect storm” of economic shocks, conflict, floods, a plague of desert locusts – and now the coronavirus.

“We are witnessing a very alarming deterioration and we don’t see anything allowing us to stop this current decline,” Annabel Symington, a spokesperson for the UN’s World Food Programme, tells The Independent.

“We need to act now, or it will be too late”.

I was stationed in Bahrain for a while. They are all doing this stuff, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Dubai, and Oman. They figured out that the oil won't last, there's no money in a theocracy, and a happy population doesn't hold revolutions. They have no quarrel with Israel and generally stay out of that fight. They also want to stay out of wars with their neighbors and give more powerful countries elsewhere a reason to step in and squash the more warlike and terrorist supporting countries like Saddam's Iraq or Iran.

Bahrain has nightclubs, allows alcohol in hotel bars and the clubs, has more freedom for women, wants to be the banking and Las Vegas of the Muslim world (the Saudis start arriving every Wednesday to party-- "Allah doesn't see outside the kingdom" while holding a hand over their eyes is the running joke. They put in a Formula 1 track and are on the circuit now, that sort of thing. Dubai caters to the uber rich. Kuwait wants to up its intellectual game with universities and research. They're all doing this sort of thing to bring in money and make connections outside the Arab world.

sounds good.
so I would hope the UAE isn't the only Gulf State that normalizes relations w/Israel
