Israel e EAU estabelecem acordo histórico

By Jordi Bou

August 14, 2020 - Israel e os Emiratos Árabes Unidos estabeleceram um acordo de paz
histórico que normaliza as relações diplomáticas entre os dois países.

The historic deal delivered a key foreign policy victory to President Donald Trump as he seeks re-election and reflected a changing Middle East in which shared concerns about archenemy Iran have largely overtaken traditional Arab support for the Palestinians.

A spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said the deal amounts to “treason,” and should be reversed.

The agreement makes the UAE the third Arab country, after Egypt and Jordan, to have full diplomatic ties with Israel. They announced it in a joint statement, saying deals between Israel and the UAE were expected in the coming weeks in such areas as tourism, direct flights and embassies.

The deal required Israel to halt its contentious plan to annex occupied West Bank land sought by the Palestinians.

But Netanyahu said the annexation plan was on “temporary hold,” appearing to contradict statements from Emirati officials who said it was off the table.
