I wonder if it was really the Saudis

Who brokered the deal between Israel and the UAE. They'd be happy with such a deal, and they'd also be happy with Trump being reelected, so they wouldn't mind letting him get the credit.

No one except for a very small group of people gives a rat's ass about this - no matter if it's good or not (I, myself don't know any of the particulars but if it is a good deal - wonderul).

The VAST majority of people in this country are focused on three things. 1) Covid, 2) the economy and 3) Social Justice. That's it.

The majority of Americans often ignore news from outside the USA that's important to the world.

I'm just saying that the vast majority of American's attention is not on what's happening in the Middle East.
