Israeli-UAE
relations rapidly deepening with Abraham Accord (1)
On August 13, US President
Trump announced a peace agreement between Israel and the UAE[1].
Since then, Israel and the UAE have signed many bilateral agreements. Business
alliances and memorandum of technical cooperation between private companies of
both countries followed governmental agreements. This paper summarizes newly
established projects based on the reports of local newspapers.
First, the UAE lifted the
Israeli boycott on August 30[2].
The Israeli Boycott was started when Israel declared independence in 1948, The
Arab League covering all of Arab countries decided to completely disconnect
from Israel. The boycott covered not only diplomatic, commercial, cultural and sports
activities but also air and shipping access. All of relations with Israel were
cut off. The boycott also targeted US companies of Jewish capital. The import
and sale of Coca-Cola in the Arab world was prohibited at that time.
On August 31, Senior Advisor to
the US President Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and Israeli delegation landed
on Abu Dhabi Airport by the first direct flight from Israel to UAE[3].
After the peace treaty, cooperation
in the area of politics, economy and diplomacy began in concert between Israel,
UAE, and the United States. Some of them had already started before the signing
ceremony.
