Historic UAE -Israel peace deal signed in Washington, USA

The article published in Gulf News was meaningful and thought-provoking one (“UAE-Israel peace deal signing ceremony in pictures”, Gulf News, September 15). The historical signing ceremony was held in the White house. Both leaders, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Israeli Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the deal, and it was an impressive development in the recent months. As the editorial in Gulf news rightly mentioned, decades of conflicts and escalation is not going to solve unless diplomacy can be employed is quite right. With this accord, I am confident that decades of disputes between Israel and Palestine will be amicably solved and the middle east region will have peace and prosperity in the coming days. The initiative of the UAE for this is very much appreciable. Congratulations to both the leaders.
