The Abraham Accords continue to break new barriers. One of the latest developments took place during the Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah.
In a scene once thought impossible by many even a few months ago, a delegation of Bahrainis and Emiratis came to Jerusalem and helped with the lighting of the Hanukkah candles at Jerusalem’s Western Wall. Hanukkah is the celebration of a great Jewish victory more than two thousand years ago.
“It is my first time in Israel and I believe it is a historic time to be in Israel - an amazing place, a great nation, and the most important thing is: (there are) a lot of lovely people who want peace,” said Majid al-Sarrah, a member of the Emirati delegation.
