never wars there was never any misunderstanding or political disagreement direct between us and the united arab emirates or anybody in the gulf for that reason so i'm really optimistic if you arab countries have signaled that they might consider following the u.n. this move it could affect if the map off the line says in the region. reports if the flight indicates a new opening full israel and its arab neighbors. well that's that's certainly what israelis are hoping for and now the flight from tel aviv flight 971 from tel aviv to abu dhabi has safely landed shortly before for local time in the united arab emirates and you know some reporters there have to scribe really something very special also have said it's a historic day also because this flight crossed saudi arabia as aspace as the 1st saudi arabia allowed us national airline. to cross our space making this flight much shorter than it would have been and that is actually what is already so hoping for an opening to go east certainly this 1st visit to start is symbolic but they would be also talking not about business civil matters economic

call it a step in the back of the palestinian people now what's interesting to see is that the united arab emirates official staff have actually emphasized the fact that this is actually that israel agreed to suspend an exaggeration possibly in a message to the palestinian but also to other arab nation but it will be very difficult for palestinians to accept. that an arab nation will make peace when the core issues of this conflict have not been solved. jerusalem thank you. we'll take a quick look now at some of the other stories making news around the world lebanon's parliament has approved a 2 week state of emergency for beirut in its 1st meeting you have to be. the 4th catastrophic explosion of grants the military broad powers such as prohibiting gatherings and declaring curfews protesters and rights groups fear it could lead to a crackdown on civil liberties. protesters in bulgaria have marched on the german embassy in the capital saffir calling on germany to use its presidency of the e.u. council to take action against bulgarian government bulgaria has seen more than a month of protes

crown prince of the united arab emirates and he actually emphasized that. this deal would suspend the annexation of parts of the occupied west bank and that is a kind of message you could say to the palestinians because for the palestinians it will be very difficult to see that an arab nation will. start diplomatic relations if it comes to that as long as the conflict is not being solved. thank you for the time you're cramming in jerusalem. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in lebanon where parliament has approved a 2 week state of emergency for bay roots and its 1st meeting after august the 4th catastrophic explosion that grants the military broad powers like a prohibiting the gatherings and declaring curfews protesters and rights groups fear it could lead to a crackdown on civil liberties. the u.s. military has released footage claiming to show iranian navy commandos seizing an oil tanker any of the strait of hormuz u.s. officials say the ship was held for several hours before being released without

united arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of palestinians given the historic. relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. according to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved in the past the mission is not result the palestinian authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the united arab emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal we're starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u.a.e. israel in the united states there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversations surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is in rome as well as nightmare no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines are very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is that the iranian regime it clings to power on the b

hello in a surprise announcement israel and the united arab emirates have struck a deal to normalize relations the move which u.s. president trump helped to broker will lead to full diplomatic contacts between the 2 now the agreement includes a halt to israel's plans to annex areas of the west bank which were part of the white house proposal announced earlier this year but benjamin netanyahu says onyx ation is still on the table it is the 1st time israel has normalized relations with an arab country since making peace with egypt in 1979 and jordan in 1994 but has been criticized by the palestinians who say it rewards israel's occupation of the west bank and does nothing to further the palestinian cause or that deal was announced by donald trump from the oval office. just a few moments ago i was still a very special corps were 2 for a primary. benjamin netanyahu of israel and crown prince mohammed bin in the united arab emirates where they agreed to finalize a historical peace agreement. everybody said this would be impossible. and as you know mohamed is one of the great leaders of th

and israel actually targets another regional player is kind of more pain explains israel and the united arab emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging to a corporation in the middle east donald trump supporters say he deserves the nobel peace prize for arranging this but the palestinians aren't exactly thrilled with this new arrangement the deal between united arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historical. relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. according to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved and the palestinian issue is not resolved the palestinian authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the united arab emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal we're starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u.a.e. is

first the united arab emirates and israel have agreed to normalizize ties in a landmark deal brokered by the united states. the two sideses will be signing the agagreement at the white hoe in the coming weeks. the u.a.e. is the third arab cocountry to establish formal diplomatic ties with israel. the palestinian leadership has rejected the deal saying it signifies a betrayal to their cause. for momore, we bring in rob parsons. why has the united arab emirates agreed to this deal? >> i it's a goodd question. first of all, this is a really big deal for the united arab emirates to take this step to become only the third arab state to do this. effectively it smashes whatever unity was left in the arab world towards israel really is a huge, huge step. having said that, however, there is no doubt that in one sense this only puts formality to a relationship which p pretty muc existed in any case, although nobody spoke openly about it. i think the key issues probably for the united arab emirates were iran, shared concern with israel, and also saudi arabia, of course, on the position of iran.

of the united arab emirates where they. agreed to finalize a historical peace agreement. everybody said this would be impossible. and as you know mohamed is one of the great leaders of the middle east after 49 years israel and the united arab emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations they will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the board and order a broad range of areas including tourism education health care trade and security. straight to washington that's where we joined v.w. so bureau chief eunice pole welcome to this what will you tell us about this deal. right this was really a surprising statement of mr trump saying that israel and the usa will sign a string actually of bilateral agreements on investment tourism security technology and a g. in other areas and that they also would set up embassies in each other's nation. we don't know much more the only thing we know that this is happening just a little bit more than 80 days before the election and that donald trump would love to name the steel after himself so as you say

shortly probably within the next few minutes he said that the announcement had been made that the united arab emirates and israel were normalizing relations that they were going to sign some sort of treaty and that other arab countries would follow he said there are things happening that he couldn't talk about at this point though clearly this is something that will please trumpet ministration it is a big foreign policy when he was saying there has been the creation of peace plan for the middle east which is still going absolutely nowhere that was revealed several months ago and has absolutely done nothing since that point and so there will be questions though about why the united arab emirates and israel if there was something as significant and as fundamental as a peace deal to be announced between these 2 countries why the leaders themselves wouldn't say why they would allow donald trump to do that from the oval office is this perhaps a sign that both countries would like to donald trump's reelection effort in some way we know that israel are very close is very close to donald trump they b

by historic agreement the united arab emirates and israel 2 countries that never had any diplomatic relations until thursday's deal and idea was very clear that israel would commit a. phone call with the united states to stopping and exceed suspending it. at the same time we will be able to also i know that we will begin what will what i would call a normal relationship with israel in the various various areas israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu greeted the deal as a huge step towards peace in the region well today we are sure in a new era of peace between israel and we are ruled this is the greatest advancement toward peace between israel and the our world in the last 26 years. but nixonian was specified that his an accession plans have not been outright cancelled present only put on a temporary hold. the agreement brokered by u.s. president donald trump over months of discussions is seen as an unprecedented reshaping of the political order in the middle east it comes as a diplomatic win for trump just as the election campaign in the u.s. starts to heat up by uniting 2 of america's clo
