office saying in a statement, quote, "Saudia Arabia's joining of the Abraham Accords would
“be a historically forward-for-peace in the Middle East."”

Midfielders, Fabian Ruiz and Gavi then returned to their hometown lost Palacios, renowned for tomato production. It's become a tradition there to reward quote outstanding athletes, with crates of tomatoes
that total their body weight. So, at a townhaw event, Ruiz and Gavi were weighed. Coming in at a combined 335 pounds, that's roughly 1,000 medium sized tomatoes.
