Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain entered a new era of peace and understanding, brokered by President Donald Trump's US Administration and signed at the White House. The speed by which the peoples of Israel and the UAE are realising the opportunities made possible by diplomacy is quite breathtaking. Expressions of religious similarity and mutual understanding, physical and economic links and recognition of multiple opportunities deliver hourly headlines across the world. Including this interview, recorded just as the Israeli Knesset ratified the treaties. And so it is to this prestigious episode which wouldn't have been possible even a month ago. But what of the Palestinians? What difference to their future can normalization provide? Can this peace create positive leverage in the face of Palestinian rejectionism?
