Yesterday marks an historic turning point for the Middle East and north Africa. For the first time, Arab nations have pursued peace with the Jewish state with the motive of friendly relations with Israel--no land for peace, no confidence-building measures, simply peace in exchange for peace for the very first time. I was grateful to be at the White House for the signing of the landmark agreements brokered by President Donald Trump between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Israel. Seeing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu alongside UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan and Bahraini Foreign Minister Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani was inspiring. Under the leadership of President Trump, the Middle East is a new chapter, an opportunity for peace and prosperity. Thank you to President Trump, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Jared Kushner, and all others who achieved this historic advance for peace. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
