As the Israel-Hamas war continues, Donald Trump, who is campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said that when he was president, he brokered a deal to protect Israel.
"With the historic Abraham Accords, I even made peace in the Middle East, we're gonna have peace in the Middle East," Trump said at a Dec. 2 rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. "So, for four straight years, I kept America safe. I kept Israel safe."
Trump has repeatedly said this since Hamas attacked Israel Oct. 7.
"In reality, the accords simply elevated and formalized relations between countries that already maintained backchannel ties," said Omar H. Rahman, a U.S.-based research fellow at the Middle East Council on Global Affairs, a think tank in Qatar. "Moreover, none of the parties to the Abraham Accords were ever engaged in military conflict against each other, so framing normalization as peace is a gross misrepresentation of what the agreements actually achieved."
Seriously! Seriously! This is a classic downplay of your opponents accomplishment. YES, AA did set the stage for Gaza because only Gaza realized that their game is almost up. It is a great testiment to the successful of AA! Unfortunately, got cocky and let their guard down resulting in Oct 7. Saudia Arabia normalizing ties is a hame changer. Honestly, though, Dems pandering to Iran may indirectly bring peace because Saudia and UAE and Egypt and Jordon might make peace with Israel if it makes sense militarily in the face of a strong Iranian threat.
ReplyDeleteAnother pathetic attempt at revising history from people who also insist that Israel stole Arab land.
