Saudi Arabia and Qatar agree to détente.
White House adviser Jared Kushner confirmed that Saudi Arabia and its allies are expected to sign a deal officially ending a feud with Qatar, in an agreement negotiated by himself and Trump Administration officials.
The agreement for détente will further isolate Iran, and it follows other historic Middle East peace deals brokered by the White House in recent months that normalize relations between Israel and some of its Arab neighbors.
Mr. Kushner flew to Saudi Arabia on Monday to witness the signing at the Gulf Cooperation Council meeting. The deal will set in motion the end of a four-year-old blockade of Qatar by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain, who in 2017 accused Qatar’s leaders of supporting terrorism and aligning itself with Iran.
The U.S.’ largest military base in the region is located in Qatar.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For all officials in the president’s administration working to establish peace and economic accords in the Middle East.
- For God’s hand of protection over America’s military deployed to the region.
