Merry Christmas!

This week's post will be short and sweet. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and to let you know that there won't be any new posts until next year.

I hope that wherever you are, your celebration is beautiful, full of laughter and joy. Have a wonderful Christmas - and new year!

Historic Peace Treaty between Israel & Morocco (& normalization with Bhutan)!

 Did you see the latest news about Israel?

Morocco has become the 4th Arab nation to establish normalization ties with Israel since August! WOW! This includes the establishment of embassies and flights opened to/from these nations. 

Saudi Arabia, while not having a peace deal yet, is allowing Israeli flights over its airspace. Could they become the next one?

And then today, the East Asian nation of Bhutan has also agreed to normalization of relations between itself and Israel. According to the Times of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed the development, calling it an "additional fruit of the peace agreements" and that there are other countries also want to normalize ties with Israel.

WOW!

So, just to sum up... since the establishment of Israel as a nation in 1948, before 2020, only 2 Arab countries had established ties with Israel: Egypt (1967) and Jordan (1994). Since August 2020, 4 other Arab countries have established normalization ties with Israel: UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and now Morocco. 

AMAZING!!! I never thought I'd see something like this. We truly live in historic times!
