WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump will host a ceremony Tuesday where Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates normalise relations with Israel, redrawing the Middle East's diplomatic map - and boosting the Republican's reelection hopes.
Feeling increasingly abandoned, Palestinian leaders on Sunday urged demonstrations in the occupied territories and outside embassies of the United States, Israel, Bahrain and the UAE to protest what they called"shameful agreements."SOMETHING FOR EVERYBODY All the four countries celebrating at the White House share a common hostility to Iran, which Trump has put under crippling economic and diplomatic pressure.
After an often bruising, chaotic first term on the diplomatic front, Tuesday's event is seen as a rare piece of good news that even some Democratic critics have applauded. Trump has keenly promoted weapons sales during his government and would clearly be happy to tout job-creating announcements before the election.
Another important element left unclear on the eve of the signing was whether the large crowd expected at the White House would respect anti-coronavirus protocols.Israel is about to enter a new three-week lockdown to combat surging infections.
