The UAE-Israel peace deal is monumental and certain to pay dividends over the years as this new era of possibilities creates ripples of growth on the economic front
The deal is monumental, far-thinking and certain to pay dividends over the years as this new era of possibilities creates ripples of growth on the economic front. It also acts as a spur to enriching the cultural experience. The two countries have already opened communication links and soon we will have direct flights, something that was unthinkable until now. The Abraham Accord, coupled with a host of other developments such as the building of the Abrahamic House of Fraternity in Abu Dhabi, signals a win for UAE's quiet diplomacy that sees peace in interfaith harmony and reason in dialogue.
The UAE is the third Arab country to pursue normal relations with Israel but it could well be the most significant one. It is a nod to voices of reason that believe peace and development logically follow trade and commerce.
