TIL Desk/World/Washington/ In a major diplomatic breakthrough, the United Arab Emirates on Thursday became the first Gulf country and the third in the Arab world to establish diplomatic relations with Israel as part of a deal to halt the controversial annexation of parts of the West Bank that Palestinians see as a part of their future state.
United States President Donald Trump took to Twitter to break the news saying, “Huge breakthrough today. Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates!”.
A White House announcement said that the leaders of the US, Israel and the UAE “spoke today and agreed to the full normalisation of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates”.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has often boasted about Israel’s close relations with states in the Arab world under his leadership, even without normalised ties, tweeted minutes later simply saying, “Yom Histori” (Historic Day) in Hebrew.
