Among other gainers, budget airliner Air Arabia soared 7.2% - its biggest single-day rise in over three years if the gains persist. Israel has agreed to Trump's proposal for a ceasefire with Iran after it achieved its goal of removing Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile threat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement posted by his office on Tuesday. In Abu Dhabi, the index gained 2.2%, led by a 8.3% leap in Aldar Properties. The benchmark index in Qatar climbed more than 2%, with Qatar Islamic Bank rising 2.2%.
