Pompeo, Netanyahu Praise Israel-UAE Deal

VOA News

   U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Monday he is hopeful other
   Arab nations will follow the United Arab Emirates in establishing
   diplomatic relations with Israel.

   Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in
   Jerusalem, Pompeo said if more nations take that step, it will both
   increase stability in the Middle East and improve the lives of people
   in those countries.

   The United States helped broker the Israel-UAE deal earlier this month,
   a pact that Netanyahu said Thursday heralds a new era for the region.
