Donald Trump has been President of the United States for four years, and each of his meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ended in a historic breakthrough. In 2017, it was the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In 2018, after hearing from Netanyahu about the theft of the Iranian nuclear archive, Trump decided to withdraw The nuclear. In 2019, with Netanyahu by his side, he recognized the Golan Heights. And in 2020, Trump made Israel the best peace plan ever.
However, as if all this were not enough, today Trump will break another record.
In his shift, as a result of his bold policy promoted by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel will simultaneously sign two peace agreements with two Arab countries.
There has never been such a thing in the history of the State of Israel.
Such a doubt it will be.
The Trump-Netanyahu duo has changed the face of the Middle East forever, and for the better.
They will enter the annals of history without anyone being able to challenge their immense share in bringing peace to the world, to Israel and its neighbors.
True, the Arab principalities are in a hurry to sign agreements with Israel as well to help Trump win the election.
They know what's good for them.
Until last night, coordination between the countries involved in the historical status continued.
This is a four-party wedding that needs to agree on both the content, the ceremony procedures and the corona practices.
So the weather is likely to be bright, sunny but not too hot or humid, but the operation is not simple.
Somewhat amusingly, the Israelis and their new friends are on the same side regarding the epidemic.
Unlike the Trump administration, which contented itself with a "recommendation" to wear masks, Middle Eastern countries demanded stricter procedures from their guests.
"We have never seen anything like this before in which two countries sign a peace agreement with Israel at the same time," said a senior member of Netanyahu's entourage.
"So on the one hand, there is great excitement, both in them and in ours but," he added, "because these are four countries that are partners in the event, there are sensitivities."
"This moment is coming"
Because of the sensitivities, the Israeli or American entourage refused to disclose even a hint of the contents of the agreements to be signed today.
"I hold the draft historic peace treaty between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the historic peace declaration between Israel and Bahrain. We have been working on it for many, many years. This moment is coming," the prime minister said in a video he recorded in front of the White House.
And although the draft was in his hands, he or his entourage in the entourage refused to disclose what was said in it, and in particular what the references were to the controversial Palestinian issue.

What is known?
Netanyahu's entourage denied MK Nitzan Horowitz's remarks, as if in exchange for agreements with the Gulf principalities there is an Israeli commitment to freeze construction in Judea and Samaria.
The credibility of this commitment, it must be said, will become clear within a week or two, since construction plans have not been approved in Judea and Samaria since February and it is no longer possible to wait.
Even before the ceremony, Netanyahu will meet with Trump this morning, as will the foreign ministers of the Emirates and Bahrain, Abdullah Ben-Zayed and Dr. Abdel-Latif al-Ziani, respectively. The first square meeting between the four leaders may already be there in the Oval Office. Shortly afterwards, at 7:00 PM Israel time, on the southern lawn of the White House, President Trump, the Prime Minister of Israel and the Foreign Ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will stand side by side to sign the peace agreements. In the history of Israel.
