A researcher at the pro-Israel Truth for the Middle East says the Abraham Accords are in jeopardy because of instability in Israel and America and Washington's waning interest in the Middle East.
Joseph Epstein, a researcher at the foundation, said in an article in Newsweek that the current US administration and Israel are no longer about expanding these agreements, but about making sure that they do not disintegrate.
Epstein, who in the article called the Abraham Accords "America's greatest political achievement in the region," explained that the main motivation for agreeing to these agreements in some Arab countries is the exaggerated belief that the road to America passes through Israel.
Seeking guarantees of stability
However, US President Joe Biden's administration has shown that it is more interested in pursuing a policy of increasing non-interference in the Middle East, prompting countries in the region to seek guarantees of stability from other world powers such as China and Russia, and to consider scaling back their ties with Israel.
Instability within Israel, weak governments, and the erosion of social cohesion have alarmed some Arab signatories to the Abraham Accords.
He said that the Netanyahu government's granting too much power to ideologically motivated extremists and Netanyahu's lack of response to inflammatory comments made by MK Bezalel Smotrich were factors that raised concerns among signatories to the Abraham Accords about Netanyahu's credibility as a partner.
Gulf Arab states are becoming increasingly wary of democracies they consider incapable of guaranteeing their commitments and their longevity is uncertain, he said, "These countries value stability and strength. Israel does not expect that at the moment."
