states,golf arab bahrain, and the united arab emirates, to within weeks apart to normalize ties with israel, recognizes a significant economic and geopolitical shift in the region. in conversations and interviews i have had with democratic members in intelligence and the international community that worked in the obama administration, as well as interviews i conducted this morning with ambassador friedman, as well as former acting director canel, all of them suggest the arab state aposition in iran has been unifying measure for the gulf arab states to work together to normalize ties with israel. for the israelis, this represented opportunity both on the economic front as well as on the security front, to forge new ties in the region. for uae, it represented opportunity to get f-35 jets from the americans. from a broader geopolitical standpoint, it is also a missed opportunity for china, which now has closer ties in the region, suggests that israel is looking to serve in a more economic front with where the chinese now have lost a foothold. however, thison, comes at a political time f

united arab. emirates. i know others call an election for. sitting in for richard and you are watching the listening post working from home here are the media stories we're covering this week the abraham accords behind all the talk about peace between israel and the gulf states there is a lot of posturing and even more p.r. . in the united states an affiliate of the under network 80 plus is ordered to register as a foreign agent. we've reported on mounting crises a chronically corrupt government a collapsing state and then came the blast what's it like to be a journalist in lebanon today. and a saudi musician teams up with an israeli one to create one of the many many more the videos that have come in the wake of the abraham accords. the talk in the middle east these days is of normalization between gulf states and israel just this past week the united arab emirates and the kingdom of bahrain formally signed what was being sold as historic peace deals with israel what these deals do is make official an open secret that for years there's been

the 1st ever commercial flight from tel aviv to abu dhabi comes after the united arab emirates as the 1st gulf country and only the 3rd arab nation normalized its relations with israel in the flight as part of a new pact brokered by the us over the last years people have spoken about all of the bad things that have happened in the middle east and all the conflict in the chaos of the division that's existed for the last decades but i do believe that this is ushering in a new hopefulness amongst all 'd people that peace is possible and that there is a new chapter that could be read it. in another historic breakthrough the israeli plane also received permission to cross saudi arabian airspace this is the 1st public sign of saudi cooperation with israel after years of behind the scenes dealings and it goes against the longstanding palestinian position that relations with the arab countries should only occur if israel withdraws from occupied territory and accept palestinian statehood a clear touchdown for israel and for the trumpet ministration in the middle east and that with just months
