It’s a great first step if it holds up. However, there’s no such thing as world peace. Never has been and never will be.

"W" and Condi also brokered similar "peace deal" between Israel and Palestinians which forced Israel to pull Jewish settlers out of occupied territories in Gaza and to allow Arabs to to have elections which put Hamas, a terrorist organization, in power as a legal authority. It was all downhill from there with Hamas moving into the areas abandoned my Jews and start lobbing rockets into Israel.

Similarly, something smells about this new 'deal' because it also forces Israel to give up a lot while getting nothing in return. Arabs come out winners in both cases.

Holds up in what sense? What is the difference between it holding up and not holding up? If it does not hold up, Israel can continue with their settlement plans. Other than that, I'm not sure what else it in the deal.

In practical terms there’s no real difference as the two countries were not in a state of war prior to this. Since they don’t border one another, the likelihood of them entering into a direct confrontation is nearly nonexistent.
What it does do, is set the stage, for economic ties in the future. It may lead to other Arab nations to consider the move.

In other words, it does nothing but force Israel's hand in regards to the settlements.

I hate peace, peace is bad! Us Dems have always been against peace deals right? Yeah that’s the ticket.

Again, not a peace deal. Again, still good - just not earth-shattering despite what some Trump sycophants would have you believe.

I don’t seem to remember the UAE ever doing much aggression towards Israel. It’s a tiny country. Holler when a country that matters signs up.

I see the Evil Witch, Susan Rice, hiding in the picture as if still saying "Our men died in Bengazi because of a Evil Film about the Prophet Mohammad" Stupid idiot didn't even think that it occurred on 9/11.
Truth is treason to these lying scumbags. The left turned into the party of war. Sleazy.

If you don't please provide evidence UAE IS a threat to Israel--being non-nuclear, having no standing army of Jihadists, and being more than 2500 km's away from Israel.
Than why was Iran a treat to 'Murica?

His base was smart enough to get him elected. You lost, get over it.
