As per news report of PTI, President Trump helped broker a historic agreement between the UAE and Israel to normalise relations in August. Last week, Trump announced that Bahrain had also reached a deal with Israel to normalise relations. The event, the president says, would usher in a new era towards peace in the region.

So, the Emiratis and the Israelis will be signing their own document, as will the Bahrainis and the Israelis will be signing their own document. Then there's also going to be, sort of, something that everybody is signing, a senior administration official told reporters during a conference call on the eve of the historic agreements, in which President's advisor and son-in-law Jarred Kushner has played a key role.
