Israel, UAE, Bahrain Set to Sign Milestone Abraham Accords at White House
Epoch Times ^ | 09/15/2020 | Zachary Steiber

Israel and two other Middle Eastern countries are set to sign milestone deals in the White House on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump will be joined by H.E. Shaikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Bin Mohamed Al Khalifa, Bahrain’s minister of foreign affairs, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates’ foreign minister.

The so-called Abraham Accords lay out what the countries agreed to in recent days: the normalization of relations between them.

Israel before the agreements was only recognized by two other countries in the Middle East.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Israel first announced the normalization on Aug. 13, shocking foreign policy observers who long thought such a deal was impossible. Leaders of both countries thanked Trump for his help.

The two countries agreed to cooperate on the development of a vaccine for the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19; open mutual embassies; and send flights between the two countries.

Bahrain’s announcement came last week.

“There’s no more powerful response to the hatred that spawned 9/11 than this agreement,” Trump told reporters at the White House, referring to the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks against the United States.

Netanyahu said in an address following Bahrain’s announcement, “It took us 26 years to get from the second peace agreement with an Arab state to the third peace agreement, and it took us not 26 years but 29 days to reach the peace agreement between the third Arab state and the fourth Arab state, and there will be more.”

You would think our peace prize president would have done things like this.

For years the previous administrations worked with the Palestinians for an agreement......Trump didn’t put up with their stubborn games, withdrew financial support and ran another route to the Arab nations willing to work with this Administration for Peace. ....a very wise move.

Probably only three ( guess who will be by-passed by the committee ).

Trump said other Arab nations would have also been there today if they wanted but believed the first to sign should be given special honor.

Trumps approach to the Opec nations was such a wise move rather than go to the Palentinians and put up with their nonsense.

Does that mean Oman is next to recognize Israel?

The one country they(the MSM)will not be able to ignore is Saudi Arabia.

Then the Arab League will form a NATO like alliance with Israel to protect each other from Iran.

Israel maintains full diplomatic relations with only two of its Arab neighbors, Egypt and Jordan.
............
The UN states that do not recognize Israel: Algeria, Comoros, Djibouti, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mali, Niger and Pakistan.
.........
There are a number of countries about to fully endorse: Turkey, Oman, Azerbaijan, Kosovo.
........
It should be understood that the Saudi’s would have to be in agreement if Bahrain is on board. It is just a matter of time.
