The United Arab Emirates, sometimes simply called the Emirates, is a sovereign state in Western Asia at the northeast end of the Arabian Peninsula on the Persian Gulf, bordering Oman to the east and Saudi Arabia to the south and west, as well as sharing maritime borders with Qatar to the west and Iran to the north. It's a federation of seven emirates along the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. An emirate is a political territory that is ruled by a dynastic Arabic or Islamic monarch-styled emir.
The largest of these emirates, Abu Dhabi (Abū Ẓaby), which comprises more than three-fourths of the federation’s total land area, is the centre of its oil industry and borders Saudi Arabia on the federation’s southern and eastern borders.
Historically the domain of individual Arab clans and families, the region now comprising the emirates also has been influenced by Persian culture (IRAN)owing to its close proximity to Iran, and its porous maritime borders have for centuries invited migrants and traders from elsewhere.
The states gained autonomy following World War II (1939–45), when the states of Bahrain and Qatar declared independent statehood. The rest were formally united in 1971, with the city of Abu Dhabi serving as the capital.

| Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan 2nd President of UAE The President of the United Arab Emirates, or the Raʾīs (Arabic: رَئِـيْـس), is the head of state of the United Arab Emirates. The President and Vice-President are elected every 5 years by the Federal Supreme Council; while the Prime Minister is formally appointed by the President, every UAE Vice-President simultaneously serves as Prime Minister as well. Usually, a sheikh from the Emirate of Abu Dhabi holds the presidency, and a sheikh from the Emirate of Dubai the premiership. Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan is the UAE's founding father and widely accredited for unifying the seven emirates into one country. He was the UAE's first President, from the nation's founding until his death on 2 November 2004. On the following day the Federal Supreme Council elected his son, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to the post. The President is also the Commander-in-Chief of the UAE Armed Forces. |

The Emirati company APEX National Investment and Israel's Tera Group signed an agreement to partner in research on COVID-19, making it the first business deal signed between companies of the two nations since normalization of ties. The director of the Mossad Yossi Cohen arrived in the UAE on 18 August to discuss security cooperation, regional developments as well as issues that concerned both countries with the National Security Advisor Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan. This marked the first visit of an Israeli official since the announcement of the deal.
On August 17, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that Israel was working to start direct flights to the UAE using Saudi Arabia's airspace. Netanyahu's office and other officials later denied reports of approving the United States' sales of F-35 warplanes to the UAE following the deal, after reports emerged about the same earlier. Emirati foreign minister Anwar Gargash said in an interview with the Atlantic Council on August 20 the peace deal would remove any obstructions in acquiring the jets, though the UAE had not made a new request for them after the deal.
