Netanyahu who has always sought to build colonies on Palestinian lands which would allow him to annex large sides of the occupied West Bank, ceded his dream in favor of a “historical agreement” of normalization of relations with the United Arab Emirates. In any case, this is the strongest point which emerges from this agreement announced by President Trump. So conclusion: normalization of relations with one of the most important Arab countries against the suspension of annexation plans.
The information was confirmed this Thursday, August 13, by several global press agencies on Thursday, August 13, including Reuters who cites US officials who confirmed that these plans were indeed suspended.
The first Israeli newspaper Haaretz, who also quotes officials within the White House, says that Israel has agreed to suspend his annexation plans against this normalization of relations.
According to the White House, this agreement also provides investments, economic and cultural exchange programs but also direct air links and tourist agreements. The “historic” agreement also stipulates medical cooperation to combat the coronavirus.
For the Palestinians, who have long been on Arab support in their struggle for independence, this announcement was both a victory and a setback. While Thursday’s agreement ends or suspends Israeli annexation plans, the Palestinians have repeatedly exhorted Arab governments not to normalize their relations with Israel.
Israeli officials have announced that this first step could open the door to other Arab countries to normalize their relations with Israel.
