According to reports, the signing ceremony took place on the South Lawn of the White House.
Witnessed by hundreds of participants, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah and Bahraini Foreign Minister Zayeni signed agreements on the normalization of relations and established diplomatic relations.
Trump participated in the signing ceremony of the agreement.
This is the first time that Arab countries have normalized relations with Israel after Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979.
In his speech before the signing of the agreement, Trump called this "the dawn of the new Middle East" and declared that the three countries "will work together". He also said that at least five other countries will establish diplomatic relations with Israel. .
Netanyahu called this a "historical turning point."
On the same day, Palestinian President Abbas stated that if Israel does not end its occupation of Palestinian territory and does not recognize the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, peace in the Middle East will not be possible.
According to analysis, the agreement does not touch on long-standing practical problems in the Middle East, but is intended to establish Trump's international image.
Because the United States has recently been deeply involved in issues such as the new crown epidemic, racial protests, and weak economic recovery, the Trump administration's initiative in the diplomatic field has not received widespread attention.
