WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump presidde over the signing of historic diplomatic deals between Israel and two Gulf Arab nations that could herald a dramatic shift in Middle East power dynamics.

The Tuesday ceremony at the White House aimed at showcasing presidential statesmanship ahead of November's election.

Trump hosted more than 700 guests on the South Lawn to witness the sealing of the agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and between Israel and Bahrain.

The agreement formalized the normalization of the Jewish state's already warming relations with the two countries — and may pave the way for a broader Arab-Israeli rapprochement after decades of enmity.
