US President Donald Trump has reached four peace accords, including what seemed difficult to achieve even to the most optimistic analysts and observers.
Weeks after completing his first presidential term, US President Donald Trump achieved four peace agreements, including what seemed difficult to achieve even to the most optimistic analysts and observers.
By announcing the signing of the peace accord between Israel and Bahrain, Trump has achieved one of the goals of his regional strategy to normalize relations between Israel and Washington’s allies in the Middle East to besiege Iran.
Bahrain in the footsteps of the Emirates
Bahrain and Israel agreed on Friday to establish “full diplomatic relations,” according to a tripartite statement issued by them and the United States, in a historic step that is the second in less than a month after a similar agreement between the United Arab Emirates and Israel. .
The statement said US President Donald Trump contacted the Bahraini monarch, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “during which they agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain “.
Bahrain accepted Trump’s invitation to attend the historic signing ceremony with Israel and the United Arab Emirates, on September 15, 2020, at the White House, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister of Bahrain’s Abdul Latif Al-Zayani will attend and sign the peace agreement between the two countries, according to the joint statement.
Emirates .. Third Arab for peace with Israel
The United Arab Emirates has become the third Arab country to establish peace relations with Israel after Egypt and Jordan, after the “Abraham Agreement”, which was overseen by Trump and which was announced on August 13.
The United States, Israel and the United Arab Emirates announced that the peace agreement provided “a historic opportunity to establish normal relations between the United Arab Emirates and Israel, which led to the suspension of plans to annex the Palestinian territories.”
And last week, the first direct commercial flight between Israel and the United Arab Emirates landed at the Abu Dhabi airport, with an American-Israeli delegation, led by the White House’s top adviser, Jared Kushner.
Kosovo and Serbia … a thorny European record
Days ago, Trump announced that Serbia and Kosovo had agreed to “economic normalization” after two days of talks at the White House, in an agreement that would help settle one of the thorniest files in Europe.
“This is a historic act,” he added, in the presence of Serbian President Alexander Vucic and Kosovo Prime Minister Abdullah Hoti.
Vucic said Trump “did an excellent job” inviting him to visit Serbia.
The two Serbian and Kosovar leaders met in Washington under the mediation of Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, and the US envoy, Richard Grenell.
Serbia refuses to recognize the independence of Kosovo, which was declared in 2008, after a war that left 13,000 dead in the late 1990s.
And Serbia enjoys in this position the support of Russia and China, while the United States was one of the first countries to recognize this independence.
The Washington summit was unfamiliar, because Europeans tend to handle this file.
Kosovo and Israel
A few days after the agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, Trump returned again with a tweet announcing another historic peace agreement between Kosovo and Israel.
“Another great day for peace with the Middle East, Kosovo and Israel, a Muslim majority, agreed to normalize relations and establish diplomatic relations,” Trump said in a tweet.
The announcement came about three weeks after an agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Kosovo would establish diplomatic relations with Israel and also open an embassy in Jerusalem.
On Thursday, Trump announced his expectations that “another country” would join the peace agreement with Israel and “initiate a dialogue” with Saudi Arabia to persuade it to join the agreement.
