A Big International story were following tonight another arab nation is moving to normalize relations with israel the second such a nation to do so in just a month both deals brokered in part by the Trump Administration Catherine Heenan the host of inside bay area politics is here with more catherine. Pam and can it really is another sign of shifting middle east dynamics, the island kingdom of bahrain is going to normalize relations with israel a similar move remember made by the United Arab Emirates that was just last month. President trump announced details in the oval office today. In the spirit of peace and cooperation both leaders also agreed that bahrain will fully normalizing diplomatic relations with israel. They will exchange embassies and ambassadors begin direct flights between their countries. With the election approaching President Trump has been positioning himself as a maker of historic peace deals. I got reaction from our political analysts. While these agreements may be historic they are not game changing. Only peace with the palestinians will achieve that and its more about coalescing support against iran in the middle east than it is about any hostility to israel mean these countries never went to war with them. But this does have domestic implications that shores up pro israel voters, including among evangelicals, but may be too little too late people are voting now in the end this election is going to be a referendum on trump in foreign policy, always plays a very distant second to domestic concerns like the pandemic. The middle east peace deal makes President Trump the most successful american president in history with respect to the middle east. It also demonstrates very clearly that middle Eastern Countries want no part of a policy that would reinvigorate iran and not the first to the fact that joe biden wants to put them back in business with an oil peace deal. Thanks for watching. The rain is only the 4th arab country in the middle east thats after the u a jipped jordan to recognize israel since its founding in 1948.
