Abraham Accords under strain as US-Israel-Iran tensions reveal deeper regional power dynamics
Original framing: “How US-Israel war on Iran rocks foundations of the Abraham Accords” — South China Morning Post
The voices of Palestinians, who are excluded from the Abraham Accords, are critical to assessing the agreements' legitimacy and long-term viability. Their perspectives are often marginalized in favor of state-centric narratives that prioritize geopolitical stability.
The Abraham Accords represent a strategic recalibration in Middle Eastern diplomacy, driven by US-Israeli-Iranian tensions and the broader geopolitical contest for influence in the region.
However, their sustainability depends on addressing the structural inequalities and historical grievances that underpin the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By integrating marginalized voices, fostering inclusive dialogue, and promoting cross-cultural understanding, the region can move toward a more equitable and lasting peace. This requires a systemic approach that goes beyond state-centric diplomacy to include civil society, economic equity, and cultural reconciliation.
