Omar Ghobash, acting Minister of Public and Cultural Diplomacy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said the Trump administration has made significant progress in brokering a peace deal designed to normalize relations between Israel and other Middle Eastern countries.
Ghoghash’s praise came on Monday’s “Special Report,” where Fox News host Brett Byrne asked about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, denying the president’s achievement in reaching a number of peace agreements.
Pelosi told CNN last week that Trump’s peace deals are distracted by the effects of COVID-19. “It’s good for him to disrupt the day when the number of people affected and the number of people dying from the virus only increases,” he said on Friday.
While Ghobash did not address Pelosi directly, he did emphasize the importance of this achievement. “How much credit do you give President Trump for this peaceful deal?” Bayer asked.

Ghobash replied: “It is indeed a remarkable achievement – for us, too, the citizens of the Arab world are looking for it. It is a remarkable achievement and it comes in a certain context, which is very important – we are trying to communicate in the emirate. , Push for an engagement, dialogue, tolerance agenda. “
“And in the wake of the terror that is wreaking havoc throughout the region. And so, for the U.S. administration to find a way that will lead us to that and help us come to peace with the Israelis, this is the first peace between the Arabs and the state.” Over the years. It is a significant achievement for both the administration and the American people and for which I think we are very grateful, “he added.
His remarks came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to sign agreements with the leaders of Bahrain and the UAE on Tuesday to normalize relations between the two nations.
Earlier in the interview, Ghobash called the agreements “extremely significant” and predicted that the Palestinian people would eventually make further progress towards the agreement.

“I think it’s very significant,” he told Bayer. “It’s really boring from all the struggles in the field and that’s it [been] Ever since I was a kid there, so we’ve been talking for decades. And we really want to go to a stage where instead of resorting to violence and conflict, but we can really resolve conflicts through cooperation and discussion and engagement with each other. “
He added that he thinks “there have been some structural changes, especially in the last 20 years in the Gulf states, and the Palestinian leadership is not fully aware of those structural changes. And over time, we think Palestine will come ’round’. It is a tremendous opportunity to rejoin the peace process and to remember that we are all standing with them on a two-state solution. Therefore, we are very hopeful that they will do so. “
