This is good news not only for Israel, but also for the Middle East, the United States, and much of the world, and sends a transparent message to aging Palestinian leaders who refuse to come down to negotiate a just and equitable peace with Israel: -Israeli peace will no longer be held hostage to the incredibly unreal and uncompromising Palestinian demands that no Israeli government can ever accept.
PALESTINIANS REVIEW ARAB LEAGUE STRATEGY AMID HISTORICAL TREATIES WITH ISRAEL
Palestinian terrorists in Gaza have expressed their views on peace agreements by launching rockets at southern Israel and sending Israeli civilians to anti-aircraft shelters. Initial reports say at least two others were injured. Israeli defense forces responded Wednesday morning with airstrikes opposed to Israel’s 10 targets. the terrorist group Hamas, adding an educational base and a munitions factory, reported the Jerusalem Post.
The first peace treaty and status quo of standardized relations between Israel and an Arab country took a position in 1979 with Egypt; followed in 1994 with Jordan. It would be another 26 years, until Tuesday, for more nations to join us, with the signing of agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
There is a palpable sense of momentum that the agreements signed on Tuesday will be the first in a series.
And it gained little attention in the US media, another positive step was the resolution taken last week through Kosovo, a Muslim state in Europe, not only to identify relations with Israel, but also to establish its embassy in Jerusalem, the eternal capital. of the other Jewish people and the Jewish state.
Unfortunately, of all the European nations that have continued to teach the United States to do more to bring peace to the Middle East, Hungary has deigned to send a senior representative to the White House rite that brought together President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin. Netanyahu and the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
And, unfortunately, several left-wing Israeli politicians and their chorus of protesters poured bloodwater on the signature, deploring the abandonment of the Palestinian issue.
It should be noted that one of the main drivers of the resolution of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and, hopefully, other Arab countries to normalize their relations with Israel is the risk that the Arab world sees in Iran.
They were joined in their misfortune in Washington through several news commentators and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat for California, who downplayed the agreements signed at the White House as “a distraction” through Trump’s coronavirus pandemic and complained that the Palestinian factor had been addressed.
This is an absurd argument that does recognize the old importance of the agreements signed on Tuesday to advance the long-sought-after purpose of peace between Israel and its neighbors. While much remains to be done, agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain are very important.
Indeed, the true abandonment of the other Palestinian people came here by their own leaders, who refuse to make a peace with Israel that would lead to abundant improvement in the lives of Palestinians with new opportunities for trade, employment and regional cooperation.
Two years ago, Critics of Trump also criticized his resolve to move the U. S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which would end any chance of peace. The United Arab Emirates and Bahrain have made a mistake.
At the heart of the European diplomatic complaint, the contempt of the US left and the symbolic but irrelevant launch of missiles through terrorists in Gaza were the conviction that the Palestinian factor agreement is a precondition for advancing regional peace.
But four peace treaties reveal an absolutely different pattern: President Trump understands, so he sought peace between Arab nations and Israel that would give the Palestinians a permanent veto over all efforts to end 72 years of Arab hostility toward the Jewish state.
It is vital to note that one of the main drivers of the resolution of the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and, hopefully, more Arab countries to normalize their relations with Israel is the risk that the Arab world sees of Iran, which is hostile not only to Israel and the United States, but also to the Sunni Muslim Arab states. It makes sense for Arab nations to join Israel and the United States as allies opposed to Iranian risk.
To his merit, President Trump has revived U. S. tension over Iran by fleeing the deeply nuclear agreement signed through the Obama administration. As a result, the Allies are once again convinced that the United States appreciates the indispensable nature of its power. It was inevitable for other nations for the United States to enter an era of internal convulsion, looking inward.
The propensity since World War II of Washington’s elites had been to ask our allies to surrender to restrict and subordinate their bilateral intermediation to the American one and submit to the leadership of our diplomats. .

Trump’s management has let down the deal. Now we’re asking our allies to take their fair percentage of defense so they can do less. At the same time, the Trump administration has independent allies to protect its interests with less deference to U. S. moderation requests, but in coordination with others.
The result was dramatized through the agreements signed Tuesday between the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Israel: more and more Arab countries know they will have to succeed in Israel and unite to pursue their interests, or even their survival. perceive that they can no longer afford to be held hostage on Palestinian whims.
Once again, Palestinian aspirations have been identified in the agreements signed on Tuesday, adding at least temporarily stopping Israeli plans to annex parts of the West Bank than the Palestinians to their own state. But peace and strategic cooperation have transcended the decades-long Palestinian veto.

The agreements signed on Tuesday are a call for attention for Palestinian leaders: they can no longer dictate to the entire Arab world to block peace and general relations with Israel. Arab nations will rightly pursue their own interests, and this means that cooperation with Israel will inevitably have to update the confrontation.
Indeed, the Palestinians themselves, not the leaders themselves, but those living in contact with Israel, are likely to come to the same conclusion. At some point, even the Palestinian leadership will have to conclude that the endless hostility towards Israel is not in its own interest.
