Agreement Signed between Uae and Israel
Oman`s government has publicly supported the deal (which it has called “historic”). [58] The Grand Mufti of Oman, Ahmed bin Hamad al-Khalili, indirectly criticized the treaty. [59] Iraqi government spokesman Ahmed Mulla Talal said that Iraq would not interfere in the sovereign affairs of other countries, but that its laws did not allow for the normalization of relations with Israel. [60] The commitment to improve economic trade and diplomatic cooperation expressed in the Abraham Accords underscores the beginning of promising development opportunities for Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. With several more announcements and several more bilateral agreements already underway and more to come in the coming months, the international market is eagerly awaiting more information on the combined strategy of countries to develop their relations both politically and across a range of business areas. Added to this is the hope that these clearly positive changes will soon spread further in the Middle East region and beyond. “This is a black day in the history of Palestine,” Ahmad Majdalani, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization`s Executive Committee, said in an interview shortly before the Palestinian ambassador to the EMIRATES was recalled in protest. “This agreement is a complete departure from the Arab consensus. The Palestinian people have not allowed anyone to make concessions to Israel in exchange for anything. The Parties recognize the importance of providing scheduled direct flights between Israel and the United Arab Emirates for passengers and cargo as an essential means of developing and promoting their relations. They mutually recognize the rights, privileges and obligations provided for in multilateral air transport agreements to which they are both parties, their annexes and any amendments thereto applicable to both Parties, in particular the 1944 Convention on International Civil Aviation, opened for signature at Chicago on the seventh day of December 1944; and the International Air Services Transit Agreement, 1944. Accordingly, the Parties shall conclude as soon as possible all necessary civil aviation agreements and arrangements and shall therefore work towards the establishment of an international air corridor between their two States in accordance with international law.
They shall also conclude and make the necessary visa and consular agreements and arrangements to facilitate the movement of citizens of both States. Such agreements concluded before the entry into force of this Treaty shall enter into force upon the entry into force of this Treaty, unless otherwise provided for in this Treaty. The agreed principles for cooperation in specific areas shall be annexed to this Treaty and shall form an integral part of this Treaty. Each Party shall recognize the right of ships of the other Party to move peacefully in its territorial waters in accordance with international law. Each Party shall grant normal access to its ports to ships and cargoes of the other Party, as well as to ships and cargoes to or from the other Party. Such access shall be granted under the same conditions as those generally applicable to ships and cargoes of other nations. The Parties shall, where appropriate, conclude agreements and arrangements in maritime matters. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed the deal as a path to peace in the Middle East and also welcomed the suspension of the annexation of territories in the West Bank.
The Parties recognise the need for mutually beneficial cooperation for the further development of telecommunications, information technology and postal services. . . .
