Abstract

Relations between the UAE and Israel have been frosty for decades, but in the  2010s, informal ties between the two countries improved greatly and began to  engage in extensive informal cooperation based on their shared opposition to  Iran's nuclear program and regional influence. In 2020, the UAE and Israel  finally officially agreed to normalize bilateral relations as embodied in the  Abraham Accords. The text of the UAE-Israel normalization agreement outlines  several areas in which the country is trying to cooperate, including in several  sectors of the economy. The purpose of this study is to determine the dynamics of  normalizing bilateral relations and the influence of the normalization of bilateral  relations between the UAE and Israel on increasing the economies of the two  countries in 2020-2022. The method used in this study is a qualitative explanatory  method. Data collection techniques were obtained by literature study, namely in  the form of books, journals, and other literature related to this research. In  addition, this study uses the concept of bilateral cooperation and the economic  growth approach as a framework for economic analysis. The results of this study  indicate that there has been an economic increase between the UAE and Israel  after the normalization agreement in 2020 which will affect the normalization of  bilateral relations between the UAE and Israel in 2021-2022.
