Israel and the UAE agreed Thursday to normalise relations in a landmark US-brokered deal, only the third such accord the Jewish state has struck with an Arab nation.

The agreement, first announced by US President Donald Trump on Twitter, will see Israel halt its plan to annex large parts of the occupied West Bank, according to the UAE.

The deal would make the United Arab Emirates only the third Arab country Israel has diplomatic relations with after its peace deals with Egypt and Jordan. "During a call with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, an agreement was reached to stop further Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories," Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan wrote on his verified Twitter account.

"The United States hopes that this brave step will be the first in a series of agreements that ends 72 years of hostilities in the region," Pompeo said. In a joint statement, Trump, Netanyahu and Prince Mohammed said they had spoken on Thursday"and agreed to the full normalisation of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates".
