DIPLOMATIC TIES
Agreement, which U.S. helped broker, means UAE is to become only third Arab state to have full diplomatic ties with Israel
Delegations from Israel and UAE will meet in coming weeks to sign agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications and other issues

PALESTINIANS
Israel has agreed to “suspend declaring sovereignty” over parts of occupied West Bank. Netanyahu clarified he had “delayed” annexation, but plans remain “on the table” 
Iran and Turkey strongly condemn deal, and Palestinian leaders describe it as a “stab in the back” by Gulf Arab country

Deal is foreign policy victory for U.S. President Donald Trump as he seeks re-election on Nov. 3, and personal boost to Netanyahu, who is on trial for alleged corruption
