Will Kuwait Be the Next Country to Sign the Abraham Accords With Israel? White House Announces Surprise Meeting

Chanel Rion of OAN (@ChanelRion) reported:

BREAKING: White House announces surprise meeting with Head of State from Kuwait, 11:45am EST. Followed by Press Briefing from President Trump.

Now, there wasn't any announcement of Kuwait joining the Accords.

Trump gave a medal to him, the Legion of Merit, which is conferred by the president only on foreign heads of state.

The reason for the medal is suggestive: It's for seeking a peace deal with Qatar.

resident Donald Trump has bestowed a top U.S. honor on Kuwait's ruling emir, who has played a central role in resolving a yearslong four-nation boycott of Qatar and is now ill and receiving treatment in the U.S., the White House said Friday.

Trump awarded the Legion of Merit to Kuwait’s Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who, along with Oman, has sought dialog to end the dispute that has torn apart the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have been part of the boycott that’s targeted fellow GCC member Qatar since June 2017. Egypt also joined the boycott, which saw nations close their airspace and borders to Qatar.

"A leader in the Middle East for decades, the emir has been a truly unwavering friend and partner to the United States," the White House said in a statement. "The emir is also an unparalleled diplomat, having served as his nation's foreign minister for 40 years. His tireless mediation of disputes in the Middle East has bridged divides under the most challenging circumstances."

Maybe it's a coincidence that he's praising him for "bridging divides" and "mediating disputes" in the Middle East just as the Accords were signed, and Trump suggested that "five or six" others might sign on.

Maybe it's not a coincidence.

Maybe the medal was given to provide a plausible cover for a visit to the White House that the emir doesn't want the public to know about yet.

Speaking of the Abraham Accords: Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the leftwing rag The Atlantic and the guy we're supposed to believe regarding the absurd claims about Trump insulting dead soldiers from World War One, poor-mouthed the accords, which Obamabots do not like because they firm up the anti-Iran alliance and the Obamabots want to make Iran the regional hegemon, for reasons that they've never been able to -- or perhaps, willing to -- explain.

He then says the Accords are a win for "authoritarians," such as Trump and Binyamin Netanyahu, but a loss for Iran and the Palestinian Authority, which are, apparently, not authoritarian governments.

Who knew?!

Here's Sundown Joe's surrogate John Kerry saying it's a "hard reality" that there could be no possible separate peace between Israel and countries of the Arab world unless you first struck a peace with the Palestinians.

He says this was impossible.

Ed Morrissey noted that John Kerry is therefore crediting Trump as having achieved "the impossible" and having overcome "hard reality" with his bold, outside-the-box thinking:

Call that the "Palestine First" plan -- a plan which has not worked for seventy fucking years.

Trump attempted the "Palestine Last" plan -- get peace deals with other Arab countries first. Those deals will dry up Palestine's terrorist donation pool, and thereby pressure Palestine to finally give up terrorism and strike a deal with Israel.

Will that work?

Well, so far, it's working a lot better than the bullshit that the bipartisan (which means "liberal") foreign policy establishment insists is the only possible plan.

Have you begun to notice that every single fucking thing the bipartisan (which means "liberal") foreign policy establishment tells us is 100% dead wrong?

Oh, speaking of corrupt, stupid liberals who are always wrong about everything:
