Israel-Bahrain Normalization of Diplomatic Relations President Trump Emphasizes Achievements September 12, 12:34
Israel and Bahrain in the Middle East, which have been in conflict for many years, have agreed to normalize diplomatic relations through the mediation of the United States.
President Trump is planning to hold a signing ceremony in Washington, DC next week, and is expected to aim to showcase his diplomatic achievements ahead of the fall presidential election.
President Trump announced on the 11th that Israel and Bahrain, which have been in conflict for many years through the mediation of the United States, have agreed to normalize diplomatic relations.
Last month, the Trump administration also mediated an agreement between Israel and the UAE to normalize diplomatic relations in the United Arab Emirates.
"In the last 72 years, two countries have signed peace treaties with Israel. We have achieved two agreements in the past month," Trump said, emphasizing diplomatic achievements.
It is believed that the Christian evangelicals, which are their support base, are behind President Trump's efforts to improve relations between Israel and the Arab countries.
This is because normalizing diplomatic relations with the hostile Arab countries will improve Israeli security and help retain evangelical support for support for Israel.
President Trump has decided to invite representatives of the three countries to the capital city of Washington on the 15th of this month to sign the agreement, and it seems that he aims to appeal the diplomatic achievements before the autumn presidential election.
Also, in order to realize peace in the Middle East, which I call the "ultimate deal," I would like to draw concessions on the Palestinian side by advancing the improvement of relations between the Arab countries and Israel, which have supported the Palestinian side.
