UAE-Israel discuss key details under Abraham Accords

After successful implementation of diplomatic ties between the United Arab Emirates and Israel after the signing of Abraham Accords, key negotiators join a virtual call to discuss further matters between the two as they call the treaty 'diplomatic win’. 

The Abraham Accords was the result of expert negotiators coming to terms with the needs and requirements of the two countries and coming up with a proposal that benefits both the parties. 

The virtual event was hosted by the Emirates Diplomatic Academy in Abu Dhabi and deep insight about how the deal was reached came into the knowledge of people. The assistant of the US president, who is also the special representative for the international negotiations, Avi Berkowitz, conducted the meeting along with Yousef Al Otaiba, UAE ambassador to the US and Minister of State, explained how the deal was reached behind the scenes. 

Berkowitz said, “There were a lot of countries that were thinking of ways to improve their relationship with Israel, but there are a lot of risks in that and it takes a lot of courage. The UAE and the leaders of the UAE took courage in taking that step, which inspired other countries also to show courage.”

This statement came as he took part in the EDA Next 50 Talks’ series titled ‘The Abraham Accords and US Foreign Policy’. He said that one must remember what brings value to their country at the time of negotiations. 

He explained how to carry out such negotiations by saying that we need to be comfortable about being uncomfortable for a long period of time. “Keep in mind that you might not get a resolution for something, even though your intentions are in the right place,” he said as he answered queries of EDA’s professors, researchers and future diplomats.

He also asserted that the deal will be a big game changer for the region as he expressed how proud he is to be working with the UAE as a Jewish American. He further said that after this deal, people are approaching the UAE in a different light. 

Al Otaiba also spoke on the same lines as Berkowitz. He said that through Abraham Accords, a chain of reaction of events have unfolded that will exhibit the full outcome. He also credited diplomacy for achieving something that the region needs.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
