One Year Ago The Abraham Accords Were Announced. Biden Stopped Their Growth

https://lidblog.com/abraham-accords/

On September 13, 2020, just one year ago,  President Trump announced the first of the Abraham Accords deals. The UAE agreed to recognize Israel, exchange diplomats, and begin economic cooperation. Over the next four months,  Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan were added to the list of countries making peace with the Jewish State, and we were told that other countries wanted to hop on the peace train.  But on January 20th, 2021, as soon as Donald Trump left the White House, the process ended.

To make the deals the Trump administration mediated were the product of thinking outside of the box. The Biden Administration has crawled back into the box.
...
The Abraham Accords were the result of a Trump strategy that most still don’t understand.

Step One: In January 2020, the President introduced the “deal of the century,” A plan designed to make peace between Israel and the Palestinians. It was more than a peace plan because, in a way, it “set up” the Palestinians. Trump understood the deal would have one of two results:

The Palestinians will work with the administration and eventually adopt it with changes, which means there will be peace.

The Palestinians will choose to not even participate in the creation of the deal. The patience of moderate Arab states, already strained because the Palestinians refusal to compromise in previous deals would have their patience strained even further if Abbas declined to work with Trump on a peace proposal. Opening them up to make individual peace deals.
...
Step Two: The Arab counties working with Israel behind the scenes were the Sunni-led states such as the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan (and the Saudis). They were working with Israel (quietly) because they believed that  Shia Iran was an existential threat. By pulling out of the Iran nuke deal (the JCPOA) and pressuring Iran with increased sanctions, Trump proved to the Sunni countries who see Iran as an existential threat that, unlike Obama, he had their backs against Iran.
