In this time of great chaos, uncertainty, and fear, today's Abraham Accords provide us with a clear path to the normalization of relations between the State of Israel and her regional neighbors, Bahrain and the UAE. Not only was this peace achieved without abandoning or weakening our Israeli ally, but it is a peace that recognizes the ever-present and growing threat posed by militant extremists, including the Islamic Republic of Iran, to all regional neighbors. No longer will Iran take advantage of a region divided against itself. Instead, an increasing number of Arab nations are choosing to join a united front against terror led by the United States and Israel. I was honored to be present for this historic signing ceremony at the White House, and I pray that we can use this unifying moment to recognize that no matter the danger before us, peace will prevail. It is a good illustration of why President Trump is being recognized and considered for the Nobel Peace Prize. ____________________
