A new Middle East is being born, US President Donald Trump said at the White House opening ceremony of the signing ceremony of the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain. According to the president, “a series of lies, betrayals, a vicious cycle of terror have hampered the reconciliation process in the Middle East for decades.” He affirmed that today the world sees that it prefers understanding and cooperation in the region.
It is “an incredible and very important day” for the whole world, said Donald Trump.
The ceremony was held in the Rose Garden of the White House. The president of the United States and the politicians who signed the document made their speeches on the balcony. The agreements, including the establishment of a diplomatic relationship, were signed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Abdallah bin Zajid Al Nahayan, Foreign Minister of the United Arab Emirates, and Abdel-Latif, head of diplomacy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. .
Donald Trump called the conclusion of agreements like the Abrahamic Convention a “great step” by which “people of multiple beliefs and origins can live together in peace and prosperity.” “This convention shows that the nations of the region are breaking with their failed approaches of the past. The peoples of the Middle East can no longer hate Israel as a reference to radicalism or extremism, ”the president stressed.
Under the Abrahamic Convention, both the Emirates and Bahrain establish diplomatic relations with Israel. They open an embassy in the Jewish state and promote economic and political cooperation. At the same time, Israel suspends the annexation of the Palestinian territories in the West Bank.
Before the ceremony, the US president received the Israeli prime minister and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain separately at the White House. In his conversations with Netanyahu, the US president noted that “at least five or six countries” have already indicated that they will soon join the convention. He did not speak of which countries he was from.
