Announcement Details
Speaking at the America Business Forum in Miami, Witkoff stated,
“I'm flying back to Washington tonight because we're going to announce, tonight, another country coming into the Abraham Accords.”
Background on the Abraham Accords
During President Trump's first term, the Abraham Accords normalized ties between Israel and several Arab countries in 2020. This agreement significantly shifted regional dynamics by breaking a long-held Arab consensus that recognition of Israel should be conditional on progress in the peace process.
Impact on Palestinian Relations
- Palestinians, enduring Israeli occupation for years, view the accords as a betrayal by Arab nations.
- The accords have deepened Palestinian isolation by weakening their position diplomatically.
- Arab countries had previously pledged to support Palestinian independence and push Israel to withdraw from territories occupied after 1948.
“The deal is seen by Palestinians as a stab in the back by Arab countries who vowed to support Palestinian independence and press on Tel Aviv to withdraw from post-1948 lands.”
Author’s summary: The Abraham Accords continue to reshape Middle East diplomacy as a new country prepares to formalize relations with Israel, deepening Palestinian isolation in the process.
