If anybody tells you that there will never be peace in the Middle East, then tell them to watch this video. This is not as exceptional as one may think. There are actually hundreds of thousands of Arabs within the State of Israel who would agree with every word that the former Miss Iraq says. True, they are not a majority. But, in the Middle East, the unexpected often becomes a reality.
Good to finally say these things on Major Arab news channels, Thanks to the Abraham Accords! in the few countries that signed the peace deal I am:

1- able to travel to them
2- able speak my mind and not be persecuted or tried for treason.

If anybody had said a mere 5 years ago that Israel would sign economic agreements and peace agreements with numerous Arab countries in the Middle East within one year, it would have been dismissed as a pipe dream. But in truth, there were several moderate Arab countries who care much more about prosperity than they do about the Arab-Israeli conflict. More importantly, they have a common enemy – radical Islam. When they had to choose between eradicating the radical Islamic threat in their country or fanning the flames of hatred towards Israel, they were much more inclined to fighting radical Islam. Once the economic incentives were brought into the picture via the leadership of the Trump administration, they buckled and signed agreements. This has created a positive snowball effect, and now other countries are following suit. Hopefully, the former Miss Iraq will continue to bring many others to follow in her footsteps too.
