Abraham Accord

'The Government of the United Arab Emirates and the Government of the State of Israel...' reads the historic peace agreement declaration that both states singed with US President Donald Trump as a witness.

The deal was signed last month at the White House, wherein the US President and Israeli Prime Minister were joined by foreign ministers of the UAE and Bahrain to commemorate the historic normalisation agreements inked between Israel and the two Arab countries.

The Agreement recalls the reception held on January 28, 2020, wherein the US President first presented his 'Vision for Peace' and commitment to continue collective effort to achieve a 'just, comprehensive, realistic and enduring' solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. The 7-page long document emphasised the belief that the normalisation of Israeli and Emirati relations is in the interest of people on both sides and contributes to the cause of peace in the Middle East.
