                           MIDDLE EAST PEACE

  (Mr. YOHO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YOHO. Mr. Speaker, in this time of great chaos, uncertainty, and 
fear, today's Abraham Accords provide us with a clear path to the 
normalization of relations between the State of Israel and her regional 
neighbors, Bahrain and the UAE.
  Not only was this peace achieved without abandoning or weakening our 
Israeli ally, but it is a peace that recognizes the ever-present and 
growing threat posed by militant extremists, including the Islamic 
Republic of Iran, to all regional neighbors. No longer will Iran take 
advantage of a region divided against itself. Instead, an increasing 
number of Arab nations are choosing to join a united front against 
terror led by the United States and Israel.
  I was honored to be present for this historic signing ceremony at the 
White House, and I pray that we can use this unifying moment to 
recognize that no matter the danger before us, peace will prevail. It 
is a good illustration of why President Trump is being recognized and 
considered for the Nobel Peace Prize.
