Washington:
Israel and the United Arab Emirates will sign a US-brokered agreement normalizing their relations at the White House on September 15, a US official said Tuesday.
It is Israel's first such agreement with a Gulf nation and only its third with an Arab state, after Egypt and Jordan.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Jewish state and US allies in the Middle East, including the Gulf monarchies, is a key part of US President Donald Trump's strategy in the region to contain Iran.
