Today a major development has occurred in the middle east, with the UAE becoming only the third Arab state to normalise relations with Israel and recognise it, the last being Jordan all the way back in 1994. This is a significant foreign policy victory for the Trump administration in the US which was heavily involved in the process, as well as Benjamin Netanyahu's government in Israel, and a major step towards peace in the middle east.
The normalisation of relations will include mutual civilians flights, opening embassies and co-operation in all fields ranging from cultural to technological and medical. Reportedly in return Israel will cancel its plans to annex parts of Judea and Samaria ("west bank"), which may explain why despite Netanyahu's promises to start the annexation in July nothing had actually happened.
Additionally, the 3 countries (USA, Israel, UAE) plan to launch a mutual "strategic agenda for the middle east".
Could this be the start of a larger move towards normalisation between Israel and the Arab world?
EDIT: Apparently yes! Not even a month later and Bahrain followed suit and also normalised relations with Israel!
