The Palestinians have aspirations that have not been realized, including self-determination, improving their standard of living, social improvement and a respected place in the region and among the nations of the world. Many Palestinians want peace and recognize the enormous economic and social opportunities they expect if relations with the State of Israel can be normalized. Gaza is a very complicated situation. It is under the control of Hamas, a terrorist organization, and is approaching a humanitarian crisis as a result of Hamas` policies. It is time to help the Palestinians have a hopeful and prosperous future and to enable them to join the community of nations. China has expressed satisfaction with attempts to reduce hostilities in the Middle East through the agreement and hopes it will resume Israeli-Palestinian dialogue, adding that it will continue to support the Palestinian people. [126] South Korea welcomed the agreement and added that it hopes it will contribute to peace and stability in the region. [127] On August 16, 2020, Israel and the United Arab Emirates opened direct telephone services.

In Bahrain, the first Gulf Arab state to speak publicly about the agreement as a step towards peace,[38] fear of government repression prevented activists from voicising their criticisms. [45] On the 26th The King of Bahrain, Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, told US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the Gulf State was committed to creating a Palestinian state and implicitly refused to normalize relations with Israel. [56] However, the country later agreed to a normalization of relations with Israel, announced by US President Donald Trump on September 12. [57] Kushner`s Palestinian peace proposal, released earlier this year, was widely seen as a culmination of several years of government favor granted to Israel, from the relocation of the U.S. embassy to the controversial city of Jerusalem to limiting aid to the Palestinians and giving the green light to the annexation of the Golan Heights.
The deal itself called on Israel to annex up to 30 percent of the occupied West Bank and is already backed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
