Pro-Israel America Executive Director Jeff Mendelsohn issued the following statement:
“Pro-Israel America applauds the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain for signing agreements today toward normalizing diplomatic relations with Israel, ushering in what we hope will be a new era in relations between Israel and the Arab world. With American leadership and a strong, secure Israel, peace is more possible. Today’s monumental diplomatic breakthrough demonstrates yet again the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship in advancing peace in the region, and underscores the importance of Pro-Israel America’s work to work to advance bipartisan support in Congress for America’s critical strategic alliance with Israel.”
We encourage others in the region to follow suit. Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahyan and Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif Al Zayani joining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in this historic U.S.-brokered ceremony represents a significant step taken in the path toward peace, security and economic growth in the Middle East and beyond.”
