The notion that no Arab or Muslim country should ever make peace with Israel until there’s a final Israeli-Palestinian peace has never made sense to me. Why should Israel’s relations with every Arab and Muslim country be held hostage by a single conflict especially when the greatest stumbling block to solving the conflict are terrorist organizations like Hamas and terror attacks like October 7th? Why should Hamas, and by extension, the Islamic Republic have veto power over broader Israeli-Arab peace? Why must peace between Israel and Egypt be seen as a betrayal of Palestinians? Thank God for the Abraham Accords, which represents a Copernican revolution in American thinking about peace in the Middle East.
