- This historic breakthrough was made possible by President Trump’s leadership and expertise as a dealmaker.

- This deal provides a foundation for further advances toward regional peace in the future.*
- The United States believes that more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates’ lead and normalize relations with Israel.
BUILDING A MORE PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS REGION: This agreement will help put the region on a truly transformative path: one with stability, security, and opportunity.
- This agreement is a major breakthrough for Muslims throughout the world who wish to come in peace to pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque, as they will now be able to fly to Tel Aviv through Abu Dhabi to do so and will be welcomed.
- By encouraging more visits, it will help counter the extremists who use the false narrative that the Al Aqsa Mosque is under attack and that Muslims cannot pray at this holy site.
- Expanded business and financial ties between these two thriving economies will also accelerate growth and economic opportunity across the Middle East.
- This agreement will allow further advancement of the President’s vision for finding a comprehensive, fair, realistic, and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians and in the region.
Expanded business and financial ties between these two thriving economies will also accelerate growth and economic opportunity across the Middle East. This was the only reason for this fake peace deal.
Haven’t heard anything innane from you in awhile cupcake, you must be having a bad day. See, I don’t bother to jump on you when you act sensibly and civilly every time you sit in front of the key board, but in this case you must have forgotten to take your medication. So according to you, as I really haven’t seen any other real reference to your assertion that this is only a business and financial deal, no peace intended. Maybe you would like to expand on why this was a “fake” peace deal. Seems like it appears to be a whole lot more, but then again your past assertions seldom seem to measure up with reality. So there you are cupcake, time to measure up, if you can. In the mean time the rest of the world would like to believe that the Middle East has made progress from the seventh century prison it seems to wish to inflict on the region. Something positive maybe. Astonishing….
