Former US President Jimmy Carter made the most important historic breakthrough in the history of the Middle East peace process, by supervising the Camp David negotiations that resulted in the signing of the first peace agreement of its kind in the region between Egypt and Israel in 1979.

But after several months, Carter lost the presidential election to his Republican rival, Ronald Reagan, by a large margin, and only got 18% of the electoral college votes.

Reagan’s victory was mainly due to his adoption of the principle of limiting the role of the federal government in Americans ’lives and reducing taxes, which was widely appreciated by independent voters and an increasing number of Democrats.

Consequently, Carter's efforts and success in pushing the larger Arab country to sign a peace agreement with Israel did not succeed in winning the American vote.

After 40 years, the question is being raised again: Can President Donald Trump benefit from the signing of the UAE-Bahrain peace agreement with Israel?

Will he succeed in bridging the big gap between him and the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden?

If we go back to the opinion polls to answer this question, they still give Biden a clear edge on the national level and on the level of various issues.

Biblical justifications

For many decades, American support for the Israeli side relied mainly on geo-strategic foundations, especially during the Cold War period, but with the arrival of Trump to power, the basis for supporting Israel became due to biblical, evangelical and electoral religious justifications.

Trump garnered 81% of the evangelical vote in the 2016 elections, according to polls by the Pew Research Center, so his electoral victory and victory in the White House are due mainly to the votes of evangelicals.

Hence, it was not surprising that there were dozens of evangelical priests to attend the ceremony for Trump's announcement of his plans for peace in the Middle East, known as the Deal of the Century last January.

Although foreign policy does not receive much attention from the majority of American voters, Trump is keen to complete peace agreements between Israel and the Arab countries to invest them in his favor, as stated by Stephen Rogers, a member of the House of Councilors in the president's campaign.

Rogers said - in his speech to Al Jazeera Net - that the peace agreements are pushing towards independent and unaffiliated voters who have not yet decided who will vote, "and many of them will decide to vote for Trump."

Foreign policy is ineffective

In this context, a recent opinion poll conducted by "CNBC" (CNBC) revealed that none of the foreign policy issues are among the priorities of the American voter when deciding to vote.

54% of the participants believed that maintaining social security benefits was their most important issue, followed by health care and facing the Corona virus by 29%, and then raising the minimum wage.

Meanwhile, two polls conducted last month by the Pew Research Center and the Wall Street Journal revealed that the economy is the number one focal issue for most voters, followed by health insurance and facing the Corona virus, and foreign policy has not been a priority for the vast majority of American voters from both Bipartisan.

Drake Hunter, a former congressional official close to the Republican Party, said that the voter does not care about foreign affairs "unless it involves military action or a war in which America is participating."

He said during an interview with Al-Jazeera Net, "Normalization and peace treaties between Israel and Arab countries are good news, but most Americans do not pay attention to foreign policy, unfortunately. More people are concerned about their safety from the Corona virus and their economic well-being than anything else."

Whom do the voices of the Jews pour?

As for the conservative Jewish voters, the signing of the normalization agreements represents a message of reassurance and confirmation that voting for Trump in 2016 was a good option, which prompts them to vote for him in the 2020 elections.

Here, we recall that Trump touched - in front of an election crowd in Nevada two days ago - to the peace agreement, and said, "Look at what we did with Israel, the Emirates and Bahrain, over the course of 72 years nothing happened, we did it very quickly, and other countries will join them."

Despite this, a recent poll of American Jews revealed that 67% of them would vote for the rival candidate, compared to 30% for the current president.

And American Jewish media reports stated that Haim Saban, the American-Israeli billionaire - who widely supports the strength of US relations with Tel Aviv, especially with regard to the efforts of normalization - will host a fundraising ceremony with a cost of one million dollars to attend, in favor of Biden's presidential campaign.

Hunter returned to Al Jazeera Net, "American Jews vote for Democrats, even though the Democratic Party largely stands by the opposition to Israel, especially under his current leadership."

"The majority of American Jews, especially New York and Florida, see themselves as progressives and will vote Democrats no matter what," he added.

Jewish support for the Democrats did not decrease - Hunter says - after the party endorsed anti-Semitic comments from some Democratic congressmen, "and their priorities are not expected to change because of peace deals."

But Rogers reiterated that "the peace accords will increase the vote for Trump from all groups, because everyone wants peace."
