Trump announced the agreement on Friday, following a three-way phone call he had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa. The three leaders also issued a brief six-paragraph joint statement, attesting to the deal.

Oh boo hoo pali wallys, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity... Couldn't even convince the Arab league to issue a condemnation against the UAE deal.
You want peace, let's make peace now. You want to keep this mindset, 'must destroy Israel' - you will lose your last opportunity, your Arab brothers are already forgetting you and you will fade into obscurity...
