On the recordSeptember 23, 2020
The Post and Courier of Charleston on September 19 editorialized ``Good news at last from the Middle East.'' ``A series of friendship treaties between Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates with Israel, midwifed by his (Trump's) unorthodox Middle East diplomatic team, provides constructive news from a region that sorely needs it.'' ``With strong support from his first United Nations ambassador, Nikki Haley, Mr. Trump rejected his predecessor's ambiguous stance toward Israel and strongly supported the Jewish nation. With worries increasing about Iranian aggression and power, some Arab nations began looking at Israel as a potential ally rather than an enemy.'' ``But Mr. Trump has been constructive in limiting Iranian interference in Iraq and promoting friendship between Israel and major Sunni Arab nations . . . he deserves credit for seizing the moment to take an important step toward creating a more peaceful region.'' In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
