Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Israel to sign peace deal with UAE and Bahrain” – below is their description.
The signing ceremony of the much-touted peace agreement between Israel, the UAE and Bahrain will take place at the White House on Tuesday.
The deal seeks to create new diplomatic and economic links between the countries.
But as Al Jazeera’s Mike Hanna reports, this is a very different agreement from those reached between Israel and its neighbours in the past.
