IT’S YUGE:
Three Ways Trump’s Israel-UAE Peace Breakthrough Transformed the Middle East This Week.
President Trump’s Israel-United Arab Emirates
diplomatic breakthrough continues rippling out across the world.
Saudi Arabia and Bahrain both announced Wednesday they will now allow flights from Israel to use their airspace en route to other destinations, according to the
Times of Israel:
The Win/Win deal knocks down a barrier to Israeli airlines that had been in place for 72 years. It directly helps Israeli airlines.
Allowing the use of Saudi and Bahraini airspace makes direct flights between Tel Aviv and the Emirates viable by cutting flying time from some seven hours to only three and a half hours.
Authorities in Abu Dhabi sent a memo Tuesday instructing all hotels in the city to offer kosher food and beverage options, anticipating a surge in Israeli and Jewish travelers following the
landmark peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Kosher foods in an Arab capital. Who saw that coming?
The most significant outcome from the Israel-UAE deal to date is what the Arab League did, or rather did not do, this week. The Palestinians, whose leaders have denounced the rapprochement between Israel and the UAE, attempted to get the Arab League to condemn the deal.
The
Jerusalem Post reports that they flopped.
Guess who loses in this scenario (besides the Palestinians, if they continue to reject peace). Trump’s Israel-UAE deal establishes a foundation for real peace, helps our allies diplomatically and economically, all at the expense of Iran, Hizballah, and Hamas.
Contrast this with the disastrous Obama-Biden Iran capitulation, which sent billions in cash to the autocratic mullahs and allowed Iran to take steps to get closer to nuclear weapons capability.
