During a call with President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, an agreement was reached to stop further Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories. The UAE and Israel also agreed to cooperation and setting a roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship.

Coincidence that this gets announced right after Biden announces his VP pick? How long were they sitting on this agreement?

Quote

The White House officials who spoke with Reuters said that agreement was the result of lengthy discussions between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, adding that the talks had been accelerated recently.
But the deal, which will be dubbed the “Abraham Accords”, was only finally sealed on Thursday, in a phone call between President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, crown prince of Abu Dhabi and President of the UAE.

Wonder what Trump promised to get this? He is in panic mode trying to buy ever vote he can for this election.

Or more likely, Israel and the UAE want to help Trump.

True but don't you think they both know they can extract anything from Trump at this point if they can show it will help him?

Bibi probably gets most of the credit for getting the UEA to sign on, but I doubt they would have gone for it if not for Trump showing a willingness to recognize Israel's annexation.

If everything in politics is personal trade-ins than Trump drummed up the annexation talk leading into the Israeli election(s) in exchange for a peace deal to use in the US election.
In any case Trump deserves a HUGE amount of credit for creating a bargaining chip and than using it to get a deal.

And next he will be pompously lecturing to us how he gives credit when it is due.

I know you love that BS but if he actually did something good he will get credit. His past actions say that is not the case. Anyone remember NK?

You make my point. You can call him out when he bungles (NK) and still give him credit when he does something which looks promising (Israel & UAE).

NK is a known at this point. This deal is an unknown so far. Let the details come out and then call me out if I don't give him credit if he deserves it.

This sounds like someone looking to be fair and objective:

Since 2002! Now Biden can take credit because it was under the Obama.... Wait one second, who was president then?

Bibi also could use some help now and wouldn’t mind something to change the subject
