Trump Dreams of Abraham Accords Expansion While Gaza Burns
The former president, ever the dealmaker, ignores the inconvenient truth that Israel's actions have unleashed 'widespread regional anger.' This isn't groundbreaking; the original accords sidelined Palestinian rights for state-to-state recognition. Saudi Arabia's inclusion, according to Trump, would be 'phenomenal,' presumably for Riyadh's geo-political standing, not for the dignity of millions of
Palestinians. It’s the same old playbook: normalize occupation, bypass justice, and call it 'peace in our time.' Remember, the first Abraham Accords were brokered by a president whose son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had significant business ties in these regions, making the 'peace' feel less like diplomacy and more like a real estate transaction. Meanwhile, the region watches Netanyahu's government,
which receives billions in US military aid annually (OpenSecrets.org data shows over $3.8 billion yearly pledges), continue its assault on Gaza. How many 'peace deals' do we need to endure before acknowledging the fundamental issue: Palestinian self-determination?
