Pardon me. I stand corrected. Serbia is not a Muslim country. I have modified the OP accordingly.
There have been three Muslim countries in three separate agreements that have normalized relations with Israel under agreements mediated under President Trump.
I do believe that Palestine has to be involved in any peace deal, although this is a positive it does not amount to "Peace in the Middle East" since neither country was at war.
Who is Israel currently "at war" with? These are countries that denied Israel's right to exist. Boycotted their products and travel between countries. Expressed open hate for Israel.
I know the left will try to minimize this, but these are really big developments going on right now. As I said, Saudi Arabia has agreed to allow Israeli planes to fly in it's airspace. It is only a matter of time before they jump on the bandwagon and recognize Israel's right to exist.
What would you have referred to it as if Obama had helped to mediate these agreement to normalize relations between these adversarial nations in what is largely regarded as the diplomatic tinderbox of the world?
Obama? I'd say the same I am saying now. What kind of 'peace deal' is created between countries which have never been at war with each other? Why would I say something different? I didn't even vote for Obama.

Barack Obama would have very certainly been nominated for another Nobel Peace Prize over this, if he had led such an impressive effort. He deservedly would have been awarded it and received it as well. Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize that he did receive, which was as far as I can see, entirely unwarranted.

I would say Palestine and Iran are the problems as far as Israel, there will be no peace without an agreement without the Palestinians. This would be like having a Camp David Peace Agreement between Israel and the US.
I'm going to wait on where this leads, because as we have seen with North Korea and Iran a celebration is premature. This has a lot to do with Netanyahu, he will do anything to have Trump back in the White House and with 2 months to go it smells like politics.

It would still be called an agreement of normalization to establish diplomatic relations between these countries. It is not a peace agreement as neither the UAE or Bahrain were ever at war with Israel. Indonesia also has not diplomatic ties with Israel and although Indonesia is a Muslim country, it is not an Arab country. So Indonesia were to establish diplomatic ties with Israel, nobody would call it a peace agreement as there was never a war between Indonesia and Israel (which similar to the current situation).

That's the word from Saudi. No Palestinian state, no Mid East accord.
