He says that although many talk about the Iranian context as the main motivation for the alliance created with Israel, and it is certainly possible that there is something to that, "but the Iranian interest is expressed in something much bigger," he says, explaining that the UAE as well as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia desperately want Trump re-elected next November "because if the Democrats return to power it will be a disaster for them. They will strengthen Iran, bring back the nuclear deal, and lift the sanctions. They're willing to give a lot for Trump to win.
"They know most Jews don't vote for Trump, but if they sign an agreement on the White House lawn a week before the election many Jews will switch their vote from Democrats to Trump," says Dr. Kedar, noting that many countries have known over the years that the road to Washington passes through Jerusalem. Among other reasons, because of the personal relations of prime ministers with American presidents, these countries are well aware of the power of Jews in the media and in the business world as well among top decision-makers in the White House.
"This is a period of final alignment if we want to make an impact," says Kedar, referring to the expected timing of the signing ceremony of the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates. "The signing will be towards the end of October. Trump will try to include Bahrain, Oman, and maybe even the diamond in the crown, Saudi Arabia. I'm sure the ambassadors of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman will sit in the audience. Trump will seat them in the front row. Maybe there'll be ambassadors or even the foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan. Trump will want to do the biggest TV production to portray himself as a peacemaker, beyond influencing the Jews. -Full Report
