Signed normalization of diplomatic relations with Israeli UAE Bahrain US brokerage September 16 5:08
A ceremony was held at the White House in the United States where Israel, the UAE = United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, which have been in conflict for more than 70 years in the Middle East, each signed a document for normalizing diplomatic relations.
President Trump, who acted as an intermediary, emphasized the historical significance of "a new dawn in the Middle East," and strongly emphasized his achievements toward the presidential election.
Israel has been in conflict with Arab countries for more than 70 years since its founding, but has agreed to normalize diplomatic relations with the UAE and Bahrain since last month through US mediation.
At the White House in the United States on the 15th, representatives from each country attended the signing ceremony of the agreement, and President Trump said, "We have reached a new dawn in the Middle East. This signing ceremony paved the way for history. He emphasized the historical significance of the agreement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "This is a turning point in history. This agreement will completely end the conflict between Arab countries and Israel," and expressed hope for further improvement of relations with Arab countries.
It is the first time in 26 years that Arab countries in the Middle East have normalized diplomatic relations with Israel.
Will the situation in the Middle East change Palestinian peace ...
The agreement will change the composition of the long-standing Israeli-Arab conflict over the Palestinian affair, and will isolate Iran, which is hostile to the United States, in the Middle East, which could significantly change the situation in the Middle East.
However, it is unclear whether it will lead to progress because the Palestinian side is strongly repulsing over the Middle East peace with Palestine.
What is President Trump's aim?
As President Trump will strengthen Israel's security through the agreement, it seems that he also aims to appeal diplomatic achievements to conservatives who place importance on Israel ahead of the autumn presidential election.
UAE / Bahrain "Normalization of diplomatic relations contributes to stabilization of the Middle East"
At the signing ceremony, UAE = United Arab Emirates and Bahrain's Foreign Ministers made speeches, appealing that normalization of diplomatic relations with Israel would contribute to the stability of the Middle East, bearing criticism from the Palestinian side.
UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah emphasized the significance of normalizing diplomatic relations, saying in Arabic, "We are witnessing a change in the Middle East today. This change gives hope to the world."
He said to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was present at the ceremony, "I would like to thank you for choosing peace and stopping the annexation of Palestine," and appealed that Israel had stopped the partial annexation of the West Bank.
"The Middle East has been stagnant in conflict and distrust, causing destruction and crushing the potential of the younger generation, but we have had the opportunity to change this," said Bahrain's Foreign Minister Zayani.
He added that "comprehensive and permanent possession of a nation by both Palestine and Israel is the basis of peace," and mentioned the need to establish a Palestinian nation.
It seems that the UAE and Bahrain want to avoid criticism from the Palestinian side by appealing that normalization of diplomatic relations will contribute to the stabilization of the Middle East.
Palestine also launches repulsive rockets
A protest rally was held on the night of the 15th in Ramallah, the central city of the Palestinian Interim Autonomous Region, to coincide with the signing ceremony.
At the rally, Palestinians raised a placard stating, "As long as the occupation continues, diplomatic relations should not be normalized," and voiced opposition to the normalization of diplomatic relations.
A Palestinian man said, "I want to appeal to the world that normalizing diplomatic relations between Israel and the Arab countries will not bring peace to the region. The agreement will only support Israel's annexation and occupation policies such as Aparthate." I was talking.
A Palestinian woman said, "The agreement is a betrayal. I didn't expect the Arab country to normalize diplomatic relations with Israel. I want the Arabs to oppose the agreement."
During the signing ceremony, two rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip, which is effectively controlled by the Islamic fundamentalist organization Hamas, which is intensifying its opposition to the agreement.
One of these was intercepted by the Israeli army, but Israeli police say there were multiple injuries in the central city.
