Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that he will bring diplomatic accords with the UAE before the Israeli parliament (Knesset) on October 12.

Israel and the UAE signed agreements in Washington in September to normalise diplomatic ties and to forge a broad new relationship.

Netanyahu said he intends to get cabinet and parliamentary ratification for the deal, which marks a strategic realignment of Middle East countries.
