The president also used his address at the iftar to highlight his administration’s efforts to bring an end to the war in Gaza. His team helped to broker a ceasefire in January, although Israel resumed attacks on Gaza last week. “My administration is engaged in relentless diplomacy to forging lasting peace in the Middle East, building on the historic Abraham Accords, which everybody said would be impossible, and now we’re going to start filling them out,” he said. The Abraham Accords were a series of normalization agreements reached during Trump’s first term between Israel and Arab countries the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
