President Trump Announces 'Historic Peace Agreement' Between Israel, UAE





Daily Mail: Donald Trump unveils Middle East 'peace deal' with Israel gaining diplomatic relations with UAE in return for abandoning Jared Kushner's 'deal of the century' and not annexing swathes of West Bank

* President Donald Trump said the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish full diplomatic ties
* It's part of a deal to halt the annexation of occupied land sought by the Palestinians for their future state
* Recognition grants a rare diplomatic win to Trump ahead of November election
* But it's a departure from the 'deal of a century' his administration unveiled in January - a plan put together by Senior Adviser Jared Kushner

President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United Arab Emirates and Israel have agreed to establish full diplomatic ties as part of a deal to halt the Israeli annexation of occupied land sought by the Palestinians for their future state.

The announcement makes the UAE only the third Arab nation to have active diplomatic ties to Israel, after Egypt and Jordan, and, in with it, Israel forgoes plans to annex occupied West Bank territory in order to focus on improving its relationship with the rest of the Arab world.

In a surprise announcement, Trump tweeted a statement from the countries, acknowledging the deal.

I like Trump but it feels like the typical stunt he and Benjamin do together for PR reasons ahead of an election.. they've done it a few times now before general and midterm election and other crucial votes on both sides

And he better focus on America's needs right now, no one cares about what two waring nations do, have done for decades. It's up to them to grow up

I see it as a stunt. Democrat stuns have more real world consequences. They destroy cities.

Ahead of every election it is OWS, BLM or something.

WNU yesterday posted.

WNU Editor: "This happens on every US Presidential election cycle. Two to three months before the election US military forces are deployed throughout the world."

So every election we can expect military assets to be deployed to dissuade foes and for the Democrats to burn & loot cities.

I said above that i thought it was a nothing agreement. But on the other side of the coin, it does possibly set up UAE to draw the wrath of other Muslim countries and groups. That would make it something not a nothing.

The UAE isn't exactly toothless. It plays in Yemen and Syria. It has floated Egypt monetarily. UAE is a country on the smallish side geographically but to underrate it would be huge mistake.

"in 2015 the UAE joined the Saudi-led coalition intervention in Yemen by sending 30 UAEAF F16 Desert Falcons to Yemen. The intervention was followed by Emirati ground troops deployment in Southern Yemen mainly focusing on targeting terrorist cells such as the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula and the Islamic State."

"The UAE took part in the 2014 American-led intervention in Syria against ISIL.[6] It later broke with Saudi Arabia by supporting the 2015 Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War, maintaining it was against a "common enemy".[7] It also reportedly provided funding for the moderate Southern Front, through an Amman-based Military Operations Center, although this Center has been inactive since 2017.[8][9] Alongside the United States, it has been involved in supporting and training the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from 2017 onwards.[3][10][11] Along with Egypt and Russia, it also supports the Syria's Tomorrow Movement, which has a military wing, the Elite Forces, that is part of the SDF"

"Jewish Democrats used to hold public office because they were elected by Jewish voters. That’s no longer true in New York.

It’s still true in Florida and a few other states. But not for long."

"The relationship between Jewish communities and elected officials is being broken. And that has implications well beyond Israel, BDS, or Iran. It means that Jews are no longer a Democrat constituency. That’s a reality that is quietly sinking in for many Jewish Democrat professionals, especially after the purge of Rep. Elliot Engel by a radical backed not only by AOC, but Obama.

According to Jamaal Bowman, Obama decided to endorse him after reading his response to a liberal Jewish clergyman rejecting his call to fight BDS and bashing Israel's military.

Obama hates someone's son. You know the son that served in the IDF. Still that someone would happily voter for Obama again or gleefully vote for whoever Obama endorses. Obama could endorse Adolf and, stupid would vote for Adolf/

Most Jewish Democrat voters are steadily refusing to pay attention to this phenomenon."

"As Senator Kamala Harris hits the campaign trail, look for her to tout her Jewish husband, and to endlessly retell the same story about her mother-in-law. Politics is built on lame ethnic pandering, but these tired routines are obscuring something much more deeply disturbing.

Obama and Harris both signed off on Iran’s nuclear program and the flow of money to terrorists. And they’ve covered that disturbing fact over with happy talk about all their Jewish friends."

Bird Brains like happy talk.
