Bahrain and Israel to normalize relations

More #Winning from President Donald J. Trump. And on September 11, no less. 

From the Jerusalem Post:

Bahrain has joined the United Arab Emirates in striking an agreement to normalize relations with Israel, President Donald Trump said on Friday, a dramatic move aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East. 

Trump tweeted out the news after he spoke by phone to both Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House said. 

Trump also tweeted: "Another HISTORIC breakthrough today! Our two GREAT friends Israel and the Kingdom of Bahrain agree to a Peace Deal – the second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days!" 

"This is a historic breakthrough to further peace in the Middle East," the United States, Bahrain and Israel said in a joint statement.
