Israel signs deal establishing formal ties with two Arab states at the White House
September 15, 2020 at 12:38 p.m. CDT
President Trump presided over a White House signing ceremony Tuesday of agreements establishing formal ties between Israel and two Arab states, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, saying the accords would “change the course of history.”
With trumpet flourishes and speeches under the flags of all four nations, Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the UAE and Bahraini foreign ministers addressed an invited crowd seated in seasonably cool sunshine on the South Lawn.
The agreements mark the third and fourth Arab nations to normalize relations with Israel — and the first since Jordan took the step in 1994, following Egypt in 1979. Trump took full credit for setting the path and encouraging them to take it. A White House statement attributed the success to his “foreign policy vision and his acumen as a dealmaker.”
