Wonder what territory Israel had to give up to get this agreement.

What’s the benefit to Israel?

Benefit? The UAE is rich, technologically advanced, and a center of trade and investment for an area stretching from India to North Africa and northwards to Russia. Strategically, assuming there’s a military component to the agreement, it could put Israeli assets a few nautical miles from Iran’s left flank and oil fields.

They normalize relations with a Mideast neighbor. That's preferable to hostile relations with a neighboring nation. And they didn't have to give up an inch of territory.
