U.A.E.-Israel And the Middle Eastern Conflict
United Arab Emirates and Israel signed a treaty, where U.A.E. recognized Israel as a country, and Israel backed from its plan of annexing West Bank and the disputed territory.
The two country will set up formal diplomatic relationships, and sign bilateral treaties regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, healthcare, culture, environment.
U.A.E. is the third Arab country and first gulf country to recognize Israel. In 1978, Egypt being the first, and 1994 Jordan being second.
Wars Israel fought
1948(just after its formation) Egypt, Syria, Iraq attacked Israel.
1956 Suez Conflict
1967 Six Day War Israel captured Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, West Bank , Golan Heights.
1973 Yom Kippur War
After the 1967 War, Muslim countries met and declared their famous 3 No's. No Peace, No talks, No Recognition.
US Elections and the Middle East
Interestingly, if a Democrat leader wins US Election, (Mr.Trump is an Republican) he/she will most probably restore the Iran Nuclear Deal. In that situation Israel and Arab countries would have to live with an empowered Iran. This UAE Israel deal will prepare both the countries to live in this situation.
