Don’t you just hate it when politicians and the media start talking about crap that most of us don’t understand?
Let’s be honest: debating the merits of police reform, taxes, or healthcare is pretty easy – even for the dumbest of Americans. But the Middle East? Who the hell understands the Middle East?
Oh sure, we all know that there are a bunch of Muslims and Jews over there who are pissed at each other, but digging into the history of why and what to do about it isn’t most people’s strong suit.

Here’s the gist of what you need to know about President Trump’s historic peace agreement between the UAE and Israel:
- Israel and the United Arab Emirates will develop diplomatic ties in numerous areas including investment, security, tourism, technology, and energy.
- Israel and the UAE will establish formal embassies in each other’s countries.
- Israel will “suspend declaring sovereignty over” parts of the West Bank that it had previously expressed intentions to annex.
- Basically, Benjamin Netanyahu wanted some land that the Palestinians want too. This deal means Benji backs off on those plans.
- In exchange for Benji backing down, the UAE will officially treat Israel as it would any other country it has friendly relations with. In other words, it’s mostly about trade.
- This deal makes the UAE only the third Arab country to have such open relations with Jerusalem.
- And, unfortunately for Joey Befuddled and Bewildered Biden, this deal is a MAJOR win for the Trump administration. #Trump2020
President Trump put his Twitter account to good use for once and shared the joint statement between the U.S., UAE, and the State of Israel with the world.
The Joint Statement Reads in Part:
“This historic diplomatic breakthrough will advance peace in the Middle East region and is a testament to the bold diplomacy and vision of the three leaders and the courage of the United Arab Emirates and Israel to chart a new path that will unlock the great potential in the region.”
According to Vox, “Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and UAE leader Mohammed Bin Zayed, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, finalized the terms of the agreement — to be known as the “Abraham Accords” in a nod to the patriarch of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths — during a Thursday phone call.”
Historic indeed. Well done, President Trump.
Hoo-boy, Democrats are really going to be pissed…
