Fox News Cheers Abraham Accords: Because Central Asia is So 'Abrahamic'
Fox News hails Kazakhstan's supposed entry into the Abraham Accords, celebrating an 'expansion of peace' (Fox News). What they omit is any mention of Kazakhstan's geographic distance from the 'Abrahamic' Middle East or the actual purpose of these US-brokered pacts: isolating Iran and normalizing relations with Israel, often at the expense of Palestinian rights. This 'peace' is more about strategic
alignment than resolving core conflicts – especially when the 'peace partners' share no land borders, historical disputes, or even immediate cultural ties with Israel. The focus isn't on a just peace, but on building a transactional bloc. One might wonder how many more countries in Central Asia need to 'join' the Abraham Accords before the mainstream media acknowledges these are less about
regional harmony and more about a US-led geopolitical chess match, heavily influenced by pro-Israel lobbying. The 'Accords' offer benefits like advanced US weaponry or diplomatic sweeteners, making the deals less about spontaneous desire for 'peace' and more about calculated self-interest for the signatories. It's a 'peace' that conveniently ignores the most pressing conflict in the region,
prioritizing US foreign policy goals over genuine, inclusive resolution.
