I remember hearing about peace negotiations going on behind closed doors weeks ago. This is huge! I wonder if it's a prelude to Daniel 9:27?

They are calling t the Abraham Accord. Could this be the foreshadowing of the covenant with the many?
From the video: "Abraham, as many of you know, was the father of all 3 great faiths. . . . No person better symbolizes the potential for unity among all these 3 great faiths than Abraham, and that's why the accord was given this name."

Can't say for sure, but this statement is very very interesting.

Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Five countries that could be next to make peace with Israel
Five countries that could be next to make peace with Israel
In the wake of the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, there are rumors that several other states could be next to sign an agreement with Israel. While there are hurdles to normalizing relations with some states in the Middle East, there are others who view the UAE decision as a trial balloon and will react positively based on how the next weeks and months play out between Jerusalem and Abu Dhabi.

This will be the first commercial flight in history from Israel to a gulf Arab country (the UAE), and may be the start of a significant peace movement in the region. The plane was equipped with extra security as a precaution just encase, as many are obviously not on board with the idea. In the video Kushner mentions that he prayed for Arabs and Muslims throughout the world to watch this flight, recognizing that we are all "children of God", and that the future doesn't have to be predetermined by the past. He also mentions that this is a very hopeful time, and that peace and prosperity is possible in the middle east and throughout the world.

Palestinians set to soften stance on UAE-Israel normalization - statement
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas also issued instructions on Tuesday banning any offensive statements or actions towards Arab leaders, including UAE rulers.

Announced on Aug. 13, the accord was the first such accommodation between an Arab country and Israel in more than 20 years, and was forged largely through shared fears of Iran.

Turkey and Iran seek ‘strong foundation’ for partnership - analysis
Turkey and Iran seek ‘strong foundation’ for partnership - analysis
Iran and Turkey, along with Russia, have worked closely together in Syria, even though Turkey ostensibly backs the opposition Syrian rebels against the Russian-backed Syrian regime. Iran, Turkey and Russia all oppose the US presence in Syria and have worked to undermine America’s role. Iran and Turkey also oppose Israel and support Hamas. Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh recently met Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon. It’s unclear if Turkey or its Qatari ally will also support Hezbollah as part of the Iranian alliance.
