Prime Minister Netanyahu said there was “no change” in plans to cancel parts of the West Bank if approved by the United States, but added that they would be temporarily suspended. [33] Prior to the agreement, the plan to annex the West Bank by 30% had already been frozen, with the majority of Israelis and government coalition partners Benny Gantz rejecting the plan. Hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers live in the territories, in addition to Palestinians who in practice were under Israeli control. [34] These agreements concluded before this treaty enters into force will enter into force on the effective date of this treaty, unless otherwise stated. The principles of cooperation agreed in certain areas are attached to this treaty and are an integral part of this treaty. “The enthusiasm of our people for this peace agreement is immense. It`s real, it`s broad, it`s deep, and it reflects the potential that`s being realized today,” Netanyahu said. Perhaps most strikingly, the agreement deals with international law and UN resolutions on “international agreements.” What about Resolution 2334 on the illegality of Israeli settlements? Or Resolution 478, which asks all countries to transfer their diplomatic representatives outside Jerusalem? What about the UN Charter, which calls on countries to “take effective collective measures to prevent and eliminate threats to peace”? Trump and Netanyahu undermine the whole idea of a rules-based world order. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes in the strategy first described in the 1920s as an “iron wall” between the Jewish state and the Arabs. UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash said on Tuesday that the purchase is part of his country`s effort to modernize its military and that its request for US F-35 war the discussion before the normalization agreement with Israel. For the United Arab Emirates, the agreement is indeed a generous donation to Trump`s campaign, while abu Dhabi has more access to weapons and intelligence at the same time. A simple criticism of the Israeli media will show how enthusiastic security companies are about the deal. On 13 August 2020, uae Foreign Minister Anwar Gargash proclaimed the United Arab Emirates agreement on normalizing relations with Israel and said his country would address threats to the two-state solution, in particular the annexation of the Palestinian territories, and called on the Palestinians and Israelis to return to the negotiating table.

He suggested that he did not think there would be an embassy in Jerusalem until there was a final agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis. [30] According to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Israel and the United Arab Emirates will completely normalize diplomatic relations. They will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin working together in all areas such as tourism, education, health, trade and security. [31] On 16 August 2020, Israel and the United Arab Emirates opened direct telephone services. [15] The emigrating company APEX National Investment and the Israeli group Tera have signed an agreement on partners in research on COVID-19, making it the first commercial contract between the companies of the two countries since the normalization of relations. [137] Mossad Director Yossi Cohen arrived in the United Arab Emirates on 18 August to discuss security policy cooperation, regional developments and issues with national security advisor Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan with National Security Adviser Tayoun al-Zayed Al Nahyan. It was the first visit by an Israeli official since the agreement was announced. [138] The United Arab Emirates officially ended its boycott of Israel on 29 August. [139] Each party recognizes the right of the vessels of the other contracting party to transit innocently in its territorial waters, in accordance with international law.
