Nytt israeliskt-emiratiskt handelsavtal skrivet

På tisdagen skrev Israel på ett frihandelsavtal med Förenade Arabemiraten – landets första stora avtal med en arabstat, rapporterar Reuters.

– Tillsammans kommer vi riva ner barriärer och främja omfattande handel och ny teknologi, säger den israeliska finansministern Orna Barbivai.

Avtalet skrevs på i Dubai efter månader av förhandlingar.

Den 13 augusti 2020 skrev USA, Israel och Förenade Arabemiraten under de så kallade Abrahamavtalen. Det normaliserade relationerna mellan Israel och Förenade Arabemiraten, som i årtionden krävt en palestinsk stat innan så kan ske.

The Abraham Accords are a joint statement between the State of Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States, reached on August 13, 2020. Subsequently, the term was used to refer collectively to agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (the Israel–United Arab Emirates normalization agreement) and Bahrain (the Bahrain–Israel normalization agreement).The statement marked the first public normalization of relations between an Arab country and Israel since that of Jordan in 1994. The original Abraham Accords were signed by the Emirati foreign minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Bahraini foreign minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and U.S. president Donald Trump on September 15, 2020, at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C. The accords were negotiated by Trump son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner and Kushner assistant Avi Berkowitz.The agreement with the UAE was officially titled the Abraham Accords Peace Agreement: Treaty of Peace, Diplomatic Relations and Full Normalization Between the United Arab Emirates and the State of Israel. The agreement between Bahrain and Israel was officially titled the Abraham Accords: Declaration of Peace, Cooperation, and Constructive Diplomatic and Friendly Relations, and was announced by the United States on September 11, 2020.The accords are named after Abraham to emphasize the shared origin of belief between Judaism and Islam, both of which are Abrahamic religions that strictly espouse the monotheistic worship of the God of Abraham.
