Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates formally inked normalization deals with Israel on Tuesday in a signing ceremony hailed by President Donald Trump as one that would “change the course of history.”

“After decades of division and conflict, we mark the dawn of a new Middle East,” Trump said from the White House balcony overlooking the South Lawn.
