Andrea Mitchell, NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent, insisted in her report on Tuesday evening that the Abraham agreements signed by Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain were not the same as “Middle East peace”.
President Trump was joined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa to sign the Abraham Accords, which the president called the new Middle East. “
On NBC Knightley News, however, anchor Lester Holt began the segment hinting at Mitchell’s reporting, saying that while the agreement would “normalize nations and bring them closer together,” “Middle East peace is still an insidious goal.”

“In mood and circumstance, the president has been announcing the first Arab nations to recognize Israel since 1994,” reports Mitchell. “Both countries have dealt peacefully with Israel for years, sharing intelligence against a common enemy, Iran.”
“But today’s agreements open the door to trade, travel and tourism. But it’s not Middle East peace,” she added.
He went on to describe how the Palestinians were “abandoned by their Arab neighbors” and how they remained “powerless to do anything but protest”.
Michelle called Trump and Netanyahu, who she described as “two winning political leaders” from the deal.
“And the president can present himself as a peacemaker, saying he deserves the Nobel Prize 49 days before the election,” Mitchell said in his report.

NBC News is not the only news to downplay the importance of the BC Historic Agreement. CNN focused most of its programming on the potential health risks of the White House incident, which was held to commemorate the dialogues between the epidemics.
The anti-Trump network blamed the Trump administration for the “big crowd” and “a little social distance” suggesting the incident could be a super-spreader of the coronavirus.
