Washington: Israel and the United Arab Emirates will sign their historic deal normalising relations at a White House ceremony on September 15, US officials said Tuesday.

The officials said senior delegations from both countries will likely be led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Emirati Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Zayad, the brother of the UAE crown prince.

The officials, who were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the ceremony would either be on the South Lawn, the Rose Garden or inside depending on weather.

The ceremony will come just a month after the agreement to establish full diplomatic relations was announced on August 13.

The historic deal delivered a key foreign policy victory to President Donald Trump as he seeks reelection, and reflected the changing Middle East in which shared concerns about archenemy Iran have largely overtaken traditional Arab support for the Palestinians.

That announcement has been followed by the first direct commercial flight between the countries, the establishment of telephone links and commitments to cooperate in numerous areas.

Anekal: A recent incident of an Odisha-based man allegedly murdering his wife and later committing suicide by hanging himself has come to light late from Heelalige village under Suryanagar Police Station limits.

The deceased are identified as Deepanth Sabar (31) and his wife Manjula Sabar (27), who were reportedly staying in a rented house since three weeks ago and working in a private company in Bommasandra.

Police have said that the couple fought frequently, adding that Sabar might have murdered his wife Manjula in a fit of anger, before hanging himself to death at home.

Shivakumar, the owner of the house, confirmed that he had rented the house to the couple 20 days ago. On Thursday night, when Shivakumar’s mother Chowdamma checked near the house, she reportedly saw Manjula lying dead on a bed and immediately informed Suryanagar Police.

The probe team is learned to have broken the door open and entered the house, where they found that the husband too had died by hanging. The bodies of the couple were nearly decomposed, and the police have said that they duo might have died two days before.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Mallesh Gowda and Inspector Sanjeev Mahajan reportedly inspected the crime scene.

Sabar is said to have recorded a video of himself sitting crying beside his wife’s corpse. A check of his mobile phone matter shows that he committed suicide soon after. Sabar is also learned to have left behind a death note in Odia.

Sabar and Manjula’s bodies have been handed over to their family members after conducting the post-mortem test at the government hospital.

A police case has been registered and further investigation is underway.
