ATLANTA — Dr. Michael Youssef releases the following statement after the announcement Thursday that Israel and the United Arab Emirates have reached a historic peace agreement: “I am so thankful for the amazing diplomatic skills of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The ‘Abraham Accord’ is a stroke of diplomatic genius. The leaders of UAE and Israel are to be highly commended for their courage, and for taking such a bold step forward for the cause of peace in the Middle East. Many, like myself, are old enough to remember Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat’s courageous trip to Israel in November 1977 which brought about peace between Egypt and Israel. Similarly, this agreement will go down in history as one of those history-altering events.”  Leading The Way is the media outreach of Dr. Michael Youssef, broadcasting television and radio programs in 26 languages to audiences across six continents through dual-language programs on THE KINGDOM SAT, Leading The Way’s satellite television channel, and solar-powered Leading The Way Navigators.
