President Donald J. Trump, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, and

region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three
leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a
new path that will unlock the great potential in the region. All three
countries lace many common challenges and will mutually benefit from today's
historic achievement.

Delegations from Israel and the United Arab Emirates will meet in the coming
weeks to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct
flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare,
culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and
other areas of mutual benefit. Opening direct tics between two of the Middle
East's most dynamic societies and advanced economics will transform the
region by spurring economic growth, enhancing technological innovation, and
forging closer people-to-people relations.

As a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President

declaring sovereignty over areas outlined in the President's Vision for
Peace and focus its efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in
the Arab and Muslim world. The United States, Israel and the United Arab

nations are possible, and will work together to achieve this goal.

The United Arab Emirates and Israel will immediately expand and accelerate
cooperation regarding the treatment of and the development of a vaccine for
the coronavirus. Working together, these efforts will help save Muslim,
Jewish, and Christian lives throughout the region.

This normalization of relations and peaceful diplomacy will bring together
two of America's most reliable and capable regional partners. Israel and the
United Arab Emirates will join with the United States to launch a Strategic
Agenda for the Middle East to expand diplomatic, trade, and security
cooperation. Along with the United States, Israel and the United Arab
Emirates share a similar outlook regarding the threats and opportunities in
the region, as well as a shared commitment to promoting stability through
diplomatic engagement, increased economic integration, and closer security
coordination. Today's agreement will lead to better lives for the peoples of
the United Arab Emirates, Israel, and the region.

The United States and Israel recall with gratitude the appearance of the
United Arab Emirates at the White House reception held on January 28, 2020,
at which President Trump presented his Vision for Peace, and express their
appreciation for United Arab Emirates' related supportive statements. The
parties will continue their efforts in this regard to achieve a just,
comprehensive and enduring resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
As set forth in the Vision for Peace, all Muslims who come in peace may
visit and pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque, and Jerusalem's other holy sites
should remain open for peaceful worshippers of all faiths.

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al
Nahyan express their deep appreciation to President Trump for his dedication
to peace in the region and to the pragmatic and unique approach he has taken
to achieve it.
