"Everybody thought this would be impossible, After 49 years Israel and United Arab Emirates will fully normalise their diplomatic relations.They will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the board and on a broad range of areas including tourism, healthcare, education,trade and security".
President Trump described the pact as a "peace agreement" as his adviser who is also his son-in-law, Jared Kushner was asked who they think might be next in line to establish a diplomatic relation.
"We have a couple who are upset upset that they weren't first, I do think that it makes it more inevitable,.but it's going to take trust being built and dialogue facing being facilated in order for people to cross that line as well. So hopefully this makes it easier for others, many are watching to how this goes.
The Palestinian politician Hanan Ashrawi accused the UAE of abandoning the Palestinians and siding with Israel.
The Palestinian had relied on Arab, in backing their struggles to gain independence from Israel. The new agreement between Israel and United Arab Emirates will be a major setback to their international pressure they had been putting on Israel till a full peace deal has been agreed.
