Benjamin Netanyahu on the Abraham agreement: He and the Trump team “changed history”

Kushner, Trump and Netanyahu had earlier attended the presentation of the Ibrahim Agreement in the Israeli parliament. The committee, which is made up of more than 100 members, wants to work on measures to expand the Abrahamic Agreement. Overall, the evening’s next event appeared to be there to sing praises to the Trump administration, according to CNN.

In his speech, Netanyahu welcomed the Trump administration’s work, saying he believed he and Kushner, as well as the rest of Trump’s team, “changed history.” Donald Trump himself has previously spoken publicly about the success of the Abraham Agreement and praised himself and Kushner for the “historic peace plan.” Under Trump, American support for the State of Israel has never been more intense. However, some experts doubt that the Ibrahim Agreement will really lead to solutions to the Middle East conflict.

Benjamin Netanyahu is using the event in Jerusalem for his own purposes

In addition to hymns of praise for Trump, former prime minister and opposition leader Netanyahu is said to have used the celebrations in Jerusalem as an election event. Almost every time Netanyahu’s name is mentioned, parts of the audience are said to applaud.
