Media and retards on Twitter: “this is no big deal. this is happening despite Trump.”

There are only 3 that matter, Qatar, Iran, and KSA, the rest are just fools gold.
Egypt would be a biggie but they have been unofficially in bed together with Israel for a while now.

Egypt has officially been at peace with Israel since the late 70s. They got tired of getting their arse kicked repeatedly.

TRUMP has the best peace deal to war ratio in American history

KSA is lowkey ally of Israel.

They should rename the Nobel Peace Prize the Trump Peace Prize.

This isn't really true. The UAE is a big deal, Bahrain is actually a huge deal because that means that KSA is onboard with it. Bahrain is the KSA's bitch and they don't do anything without their approval. Bahrain's economy depends on the USA and KSA.
Iran will never be onboard unless they have another revolution.

These moves make it so when Saudi Arabia normalizes with Israel, it doesn’t look so controversial. Baby steps lead to big steps. And trust me, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Oman are way more worried about Iran than Israel now and for the foreseeable future. They will normalize because they want the aid of the Israeli military and intel network to help them curb Iran.

Post ISIS the Sunni/Shia divide is much more divisive than the Israel/Arab divide. Iran is the only Shia country worth a damn. The Arab Sunnis are teaming with Israel to tighten the screws on the Iran shits they all hate.

I'm still reeling from the stock market crash and nuclear war with Korea that Trump caused upon his election to pay attention to all this turmoil in the ME!

Those times are a changing.
KSA is starting to liberalize a bit and Bahrain will suffer due to that, also in case you did not know it the causeway has been closed for 6 months, the US is the only game in town right now.
KSA has had no issues with Israel privately for a while now, getting a public commitment out of them is going to be tough though, too much internal political resitance.

A bit is an understatement, but yes they are i guess. They still aren't going to offer hookers and booze the Saudi's get from Bahrain any time in the foreseeable future.

No hadn't heard that. I've been out of Bahrain for awhile with no intention of ever returning. But it doesn't surprise me all that much. But i don't see the two having a meaningful breakup.

All of the Middle East has under the table relations with Israel, just not much out in the open. And I agree it's going to take a lot to get the KSA to publicly formalize relations. But if Iran keeps increasing it's belligerence towards the KSA i could see it happening. And as someone else stated once all the minor players are onboard the KSA can slide in without too much hate.

Correct and thank you for sharing

Amazing how much hate Trump gets but pulls these kinds of things off. Kind of a big deal, right??
Posted on 8/14/20 at 5:16 am to cave canem
Yes KSA is liberalizing but it will be years before any changes will effect Bahrain. Bahrain is different in that the ruling elites are Sunni but the majority of the population is Shia. An official peace deal between Isreal and Bah may lead to issues.
The causeway just opened up for select groups of people and its definitely noticable. Once fully opened, Manama will be a mad house.

Meanwhile this is from a 2021 NYC council questionnaire.

This is from @nycDSA questionnaire for 2021 City Council candidates. It asks them to pledge not to travel to Israel.

Trump is getting the Arab world to normalize relations with Israel.
Truly remarkable.
