Today the White House announced that another Trump-brokered Middle East peace deal has been reached and will be signed in the coming days:
BREAKING: President @realDonaldTrump announces Sudan will join the Abraham Accords, formally normalizing relations between Israel.
This is another step toward a future of peace and prosperity in the Middle East made possible by this President ?? ?? ??

HUGE win today for the United States and for peace in the world. Sudan has agreed to a peace and normalization agreement with Israel! With the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, that’s THREE Arab countries to have done so in only a matter of weeks. More will follow! pic.twitter.com/UHB8H6oaZc

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes followed that up with the progressive hot take of the day:
It's kind of hilarious that in end, the one thing Jared Kushner actually did get done was brokering a bunch of (incredibly cynical and transactional) middle east deals.

Richard Grenell is first up to swat down that particular take:
criticism from the sidelines from someone who has actually never done diplomacy.
Peace isn’t partisan. https://t.co/OjmG1Ck5IX

No pallets of cash were sent to despotic regimes in the process so perhaps Obama superfans are having trouble fully grasping these peace deals.
"Here's why peace deals in the Middle East are actually bad" is a take that only makes sense in 2020. https://t.co/tC4PdANjfI

The peakest of peak 2020!
According to progressives, only pallets of cash to a terror state is real diplomacy. https://t.co/71dDXtWo9K

Middle East peace is now bad because Trump did it is a helluva take https://t.co/icjqawp0vA

It's of hilarious that the biggest triumph in Middle Eastern peacemaking in nearly 30 years is being mocked as "cynical and transactional" because it fell on the wrong president's watch. https://t.co/bcJbrd5FP7

This shows what a joke the Left is.
The Iran nuke deal was, literally, a cynical and transactional Middle East deal.
There was fundamentally ZERO accomplished outside of Iranian demanded transactions. https://t.co/Joey0MQCjb

It's hysterical that a presidential adviser achieved more than our last president. https://t.co/CKhveco1sf

It’s called diplomacy which is the definition of cynical and transactional.
The opposite is dead serious war.
Trump>Obama
Which is why you can’t stomach it. https://t.co/1pvmohGz8X

Almost everything is cynical and transactional to most of the rulers running these countries in the Middle East & the rest of that region. I think most people probably prefer a cynical and transactional peace there over the possibility of cynical and transactional war. https://t.co/t5Dr6VRLsz

If Obama did this, Chris Hayes would be calling it his best day ever. https://t.co/e70ZQggKYh

And there’s very little doubt about that.
