Israel, 31st August: Israel holds many secret talks with more Arab states on normalizing ties, and is no longer waiting for Palestinians.
According to the reports from the international media, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has claimed that Israel will hold more secret talks with the Arab states.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu revealed in the wake of the UAE having ended its economic boycott with the Jewish state, that Tel Aviv is in talks with “many” Arab nations that are “inline” to establish relations with Israel.

“There are many more unpublicized meetings with Arab and Muslim leaders to normalize relations with the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said at a joint press conference with US National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien and Jared Kushner, the White House senior adviser.
The UAE’s decision to normalize relations with Israel has deprived Palestine of its “veto” on peace between the Jewish state and the Arab world.
“If we’d have to wait for the Palestinians, we’d have to wait forever. No longer,” he added.
Schedule of first flight from Israel to UAE released
The prime minister has not revealed the names of any particular Arab nations with which Israel is supposedly in talks, but said other Muslim leaders have now lined up to make peace with his country.
The developments come after the UAE’s president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, signed a decree abolishing a 1972 law banning any deals between the Emirates and Israel. The move helped in normalizing the ties between the two nations, mediated by the US earlier this month.

The deal was sharply criticized by Palestinian officials as well as by some other nations, such as Turkey, that accused Abu Dhabi of betraying the Palestinian cause in pursuit of its own interests.
It is to be noted that the first historical commercial flight from Tel Aviv, Israel is soon to land at the Abu Dhabi International Airport. The flight will carry a joint US-Israeli delegation led by Kushner and Israeli National Security Adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat to the Arab state.
An Israeli Defense Ministry delegation is also expected to travel to Abu Dhabi in the coming weeks.
