Senior BJP leader Subramanian Swamy on Saturday lauded US President Donald Trump for cracking the historic peace agreement between Israel and countries like UAE, Sudan, and Bahrain calling him a 'brilliant strategist'. Saying that the US voters were fortunate to have him, Swamy remarked that Trump 'walks the talk'.
Peace in Middle-East
The announcement of the peace agreement between Bahrain and Israel on Septemeber 11 was preceded by a similar agreement brokered by the US last month between the United Arab Emirates and the Jewish state. As per the statement released by the US State Department, Mike Pompeo said that his recent travels in the regions have indicated that there is clear momentum in the Middle East towards peace and prosperity. He added that Donald Trump had kept his promise to the American people and in less than one month has brokered two historic agreements that seek to build new partnerships in pursuit of peace.
The signing ceremony for the agreement normalising relations between Israel and the UAE is scheduled to be held on September 15. The delegations from the two countries will be led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan. The Israeli leader has called the ceremony ‘historic’ and, in a tweet, said that he was ‘proud’ to attend the ceremony.
US President Donald Trump has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, nominated Trump after he successfully brokered the deal for the normalisation of ties between the two Middle East nations.
