Paradoxically, many American and Israeli Jews have joined this very of self-humiliation.
Today, however, history is being made in Washington, and only for the Middle East. What we are witnessing is the structure of a bridge between the 3 Mohese religions.
Like it or not, Israel, the Jewish state, is nevertheless incorporated into the positive narrative of the region, with genuine smiles and handshakes, has become an identified state of the Middle East, component of the landscape of its deserts, mountains, villages and Mediterranean coasts.
Planes will fly freely between Tel Aviv, Abu Dhabi and Manama. The citizens of those countries come and go. Water will flow, innovation in medicine, higher generation and agriculture will be shared, it is a miracle of Rosh Hashaná, after all, the Messiah is coming.
“Hope and Change,” the empty crusade slogan used by former US President Barack Obama, does not do justice to what we have before our eyes. The fact that Saudi Arabia allows its airspace to be used for flights between Israel and the Arab world is just one example.
Oman also welcomed the normalization between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as did Egypt, and Kuwait observes cautiously. Even Qatar, a friend and best friend of Iran and Hamas, is looking to place their bets, because existing agreements have shuffled all the cards.
Other Arab countries that are expected to normalize relations with Israel in the short to long term are Saudi Arabia, Oman, Morocco, as well as Sudan, Chad and even Kosovo, a Muslim country, which needs to open an embassy in Jerusalem.
All the official statements that welcome the agreements express the hope that the Palestinians will eventually become a component of the game again. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, on the Abrahamic Agreement after Jerusalem and Washington agreed to suspend, at least temporarily, the application of Israeli sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and parts of the West Bank as envisaged in the Trump “Peace to Prosperity” plan.
While the crown prince can expect some gratitude from the leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, the latter does not comply, who prefers to speak of Arab “betrayal” and “abandonment”, in concert with Iran, Hezbollah, Turkey and any other proverbial arsonist. who likes to fan the flames of war.
Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh visited Lebanon this month to meet with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and talk about a multi-front terrorist war opposed to Israel. During his stay, he announced Hamas’ plan to build wise ballistic missiles on site. his comments as an attempt to “destroy Lebanon” making it the basis of a war his citizens do not want.
Many say it is “not too late for the Palestinians” to oppose their rejection. Some say it’s not in their DNA to come out of their disastrous zone of convenience, a domain that not only turned them into veto masters in then-Islamist nationalism. The Middle East, but also made them protagonists of both, who are now in decline.
That’s the end. The Middle East has lived with myths and finishes, but pan-Arabism, tribal and sectarian tensions, corruption, violence, and Islamism (which used to replace the defeated pan-Arabist) have now ended up in much of the world.
The total castle was struck through a resounding wave of enthusiasm for a long general journey with – and greater wisdom of – this “Martian” of the planet “Evil”, whom Israel had in the Arab-Muslim collective imagination.
Now, on the one hand, is normalization, which has been identified through new Asian and African leaders (even among Palestinians, according to expert Khaled Abu Toameh, courageous voices are emerging that despise corruption and incitement to terrorism); on the other, there is the Tehran-Ankara axis and its friends, infants and agents in a position of war. Their aspirations have nothing to do with fighting on behalf of the Palestinians. They’re trapped in an old terrorist ideological spiral.
Europeans deserve to have learned from history how to distinguish peace from war. Choosing the former is obviously the most productive form, unless death and destruction have a charm that magnetices more than peace and prosperity.
