The White House witnessed the holding of a ceremony for the signing of the agreements to normalize the UAE and Bahrain with Israel, in the presence of US President Donald Trump, the Bahraini and Emirati foreign ministers, the Israeli prime minister, in addition to US administration officials.
In his speech, the US President congratulated the peoples of the three countries, and said that cooperation would be resolved instead of hostility, while the Emirati Foreign Minister said that the agreement would open up broader prospects for a comprehensive peace in the region, and that it would allow us to stand more by the Palestinian people.
As for the Bahraini Foreign Minister, he praised the steps that he said Israel had taken to achieve peace, and that today's agreement is an important step.
For his part, Netanyahu praised the two accords of normalization, and said that other countries would catch up and sign peace agreements, and that the economic benefits of peace agreements would be tangible soon.
This signature came weeks after the Emirati-Israeli agreement was revealed, before Bahrain joined last Friday with the White House announcing its accession to the agreements and the signing ceremony.
