When Israel signed peace agreements with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Bahrain last week, skeptics surmised that “peace” was for political gain and nothing more. However, many things have since provided indication that, not only are the peace agreements much more than political tools, they are striking deep chords in the hearts and minds of Israelis and Arabs alike.

One thing I found most interesting is this video of an Arab muscian rendering a beautiful rendition of HaTikvah (“The Hope”), the Israeli national anthem! What a beautiful example of the heartfelt cooperation taking place between Israel and moderate Sunni nations! Enjoy!

Enjoy a peaceful weekend!
