On Thursday, August 13 President Trump announced a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deal “the greatest advancement towards peace between Israel and the Arab world in the last 26 years.”
“I have the great privilege to make the 3rd peace treaty between Israel and an Arab country, UAE,” Netanyahu said in a speech he gave Thursday.
The deal will eventually lead to Israel and the UAE signing bilateral agreements on investment, technology, security and tourism as well as set up embassies and allow direct flights between the two countries.
