UAE-Israel peace deal
It should be noted that a 'peace agreement' was signed between the United Arab Emirates and Israel last week under which diplomatic relations between the two countries will be restored.
Reports of the deal said Israel would delay its plan for unilateral annexation of parts of the occupied West Bank, but the Israeli prime minister later rejected such reports, saying the annexation plan was still under consideration.
Announcing the agreement, the US president said that the Israeli and UAE delegations would sign bilateral agreements in the coming weeks on investment, tourism, direct flights, security and the establishment of mutual embassies.
The US President had predicted that other countries in the region would follow in the footsteps of the UAE.
It should be noted that Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 6-day Arab-Israeli War of 1967 and later annexed it, which was never recognized by the international community.
Israel makes the entire city its capital, while the Palestinians see East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.

The peace talks between Israel and Palestine ended in 2014, while Palestine rejected the peace plan before it was presented by Trump.
Palestine and the international community have declared Israeli settlements illegal under the 1949 Geneva Convention, which deals with land occupied during the war, while Israel has Jerusalem as its capital.
It should be noted that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had announced several times that the plan to expand Israel to the Free Palestinian Territories and its integration into the state of Israel would begin in the cabinet on July 1, but it was postponed.
It should be noted that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas had said on April 23 that if the occupied West Bank was integrated into Israel, the agreement reached between the Palestinian Authority and Israel and the United States would be considered completely canceled.
