The statement said that the “diplomatic breakthrough” was at “the request of President Trump,” and that 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.”

n a surprise statement issued by the White House, Mr. Trump said that Israel and the U.A.E. will a string of bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, security, technology, energy and other areas while moving to allow direct flights between their countries and set up reciprocal embassies in each other’s nation.

In a statement of his own, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo compared the agreement to the peace treaties Israel forged decades ago with Egypt and Jordan. “Today’s normalization agreement between Israel and the Emirates holds similar potential and the promise for a better day for the entire region,” he said.

The White House announcement came several weeks after Mr. Netanyahu announced a new partnership with the U.A.E. to cooperate in the fight against the coronavirus, portraying it as a breakthrough, only to be embarrassed with the Emiratis issued a much more limited statement just hours later describing an agreement between private companies.

Mr. Trump said that Israel and the U.A.E. will a string of bilateral agreements on investment, tourism, security, technology, energy and other areas while moving to allow direct flights between their countries and set up reciprocal embassies in each other’s nation.

so now KSA and Israel have mutual security agreements, but the UAE gets complete normalization.
Jordan and Eqypt are pretty much the same
That is a pro-west/ pro Israel ME block. Palestinians have been ignored/marginalized

And of course, this does nothing to solve the issues in the region. The UAE and Israel have had fairly close relationships that have grown over the last decade, so this is simply a culmination of that.

[Jarod]

He brokered that great deal with North Korea.

Fabulous! They’re the easy ones. My nephew dives there, frequently, they say UAE is very open to Westernization.

completely missing the dynamic that Israel is making piecemeal peace with the Arabs.
Jorda/UAE/KSA/Egypt

Syria is a basket case, Iran is pushed back after the killing of Soleimani.

Israel is the new partner for peace in the ME

TRUMP NEEDED HIS BALLS LICKED TODAY ... SO GUESS WHO DROPPED DOWN TO THEIR KNEES FOR A GOOD OLD LICK FEST.

YEP FOLKS, TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT AND PRAISE THE DICK-TATOR

All this is is a chance for Trump to sit at a desk and have a dozen white guys kiss his ..... ring. It's another embarrassing announcement. 'It's such a privilege to work under your Great Leadership'. 'Thank you for the incredible leadership that made this a reality'. Disgusting. Maybe Trump and Jarod ought to focus on the pandemic instead of golfing, kissing ass, and talking to Kanye. How would that be?

[Jarod]

Those white guys really serviced him well!

They should be ignored and marginalized.

They are supported by Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism.

I wonder what Trump had to promise Israel in exchange for agreeing to take part in this charade.

This is obviously timed in order to give Trump's sagging reelection chances a boost and give him something to crow and boast about.

Nothing burger.
