'It's off the table now, but it's not off the table permanently,' said David Friedman, the U.S. ambassador to Israel. The announcement makes the UAE only the third Arab nation to have active diplomatic ties to Israel, after Egypt and Jordan. It will also allow direct flights between Israel and the UAE and set up reciprocal embassies in each other's nation. Egypt made a peace deal with Israel in 1979, followed by Jordan in 1994. President Trump joked he wanted to call the deal 'the Donald J. Trump accord but Id didn't think the press would understand.'
