Expanding the Abraham Accords assumes two essential issues: the first is a ceasefire and the release of Israeli prisoners, and the second is the vague “talk” about a Palestinian state without “talk” about ending the occupation. Therefore, you find the American president intervening in a strange way, which does not occur in relations between countries, in order to exonerate Netanyahu and remove the stigma from him, to qualify him once again to run in new elections and obtain a new mandate from the Israeli public. We do not know Abraham. We know the Prophet Abraham, who exposed the falsehood of an entire city and destroyed its idols while he was still a young man with tender skin. They sentenced him to be burned alive, but God Almighty saved him, and he became a story that time will not erase. However, the experiences of the great prophet did not end with him shaking the foundations of an entire pagan city. Rather, he searched for the meaning of God with his mind, and revelation came to him in a story that reflected man’s constant anxiety and his search for the Creator of creation as the One who must exist. The biography of the Prophet Abraham and his unparalleled spiritual journey did not stop, as the revelation commanded him in a dream to slaughter his son as proof of his faith, patience, and submission. No sooner had he done so than the newborn Prophet was redeemed by a great sacrifice from heaven, a unique human experience that presented to the entire human race the essence of the relationship between man and his Creator. Abraham, in his inspiring spiritual journey that presents the complete model of the searching, thinking and contemplating human being, ended up asking about the manner of creation. The final divine answer was given: the soul returns to its Creator with love, choice, submission and obedience. For this, Abraham was given scrolls as a reward for his research, faith and patience. This is the Prophet Abraham that we know: a prophet, a human being, a fighter, and one who sacrificed his body first and then the body of his son for the sake of God’s pleasure and nothing else. Certainly, a prophet like this will not accept injustice, oppression, the denial of rights or the loss of homelands. He who destroyed the idols of the city one day will not accept to erect new idols.
Expanding the Abraham Accords aims to integrate Israel into the region, accept it, deal with it, and cooperate with it without regard for the rights of an entire people who are being ignored, oppressed, besieged, and stripped of all human rights, even the bare minimum. We are not here to offer lessons or advice to anyone, but we warn that a poor arrangement leads to poor results. It is clear that there are international and regional movements for a solution with a broad framework in which regional countries also participate, in order to reshape the Arab and Islamic region through what is now called peace through force. That is, after 21 months of a fierce war waged by Israel on eight fronts, not seven, Israel, supported by the United States of America, wants to reap this politically, by expanding the circle of normalization with Arabs and Muslims. To achieve this, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict must be settled with false promises, tough security arrangements, and international and regional participation that guarantees supervision, oversight, and participation in a process of massive change in the social and political structure, awareness, and trends. This means that the so-called expansion of the Abraham Accords presupposes a qualitative change in Palestinian society, including the restoration of political options and calm. Security, control of funding sources, and re-prioritization through a different programming of awareness. Detailing this statement would mean overturning everything that has been achieved so far: no state, no end to the occupation, and no geographical contiguity. This is accompanied by regional interference, annexation, expulsion, and a new demographic and geographic engineering, through new settlements and a road network that serves colonial goals.
The expansion of the Abraham Accords assumes that Netanyahu will remain in power until 2028, that he will eliminate the extreme right and the ultra-Orthodox right, that he will first be exonerated and then bring security and peace together, and that he will then become the first Israeli prime minister to do what even Ben-Gurion himself failed to do.
Why is Trump intervening on behalf of Netanyahu in such a modern and stubborn manner, even to the point of threatening funding or military support?! What drives the president of a superpower to such a strange position?! Is it personal ambition to be a global peacemaker? Or is it pressure from Jewish and Zionist lobbies? Or are they religious motives behind which Trump sees himself as a pivotal biblical figure in the history of a "holy people," as he claims? Or are they purely economic motives through which he wants to make our region a tranquil zone to quietly exploit and drain its resources, and transform it into a global communications hub that changes global trade routes? Or are the motives all of the above?
I personally believe that a partial settlement in the Gaza Strip is ripening, and all parties want it. Trump wants it to complete his diplomatic successes in India, Pakistan, Iran, Congo, and Rwanda. The Israeli public and opposition want it, and even members of Netanyahu's government want it. It seems that the military level is also paving the way for a settlement by saying that the goals of the Gideon Wagons operation have been achieved by occupying three-quarters of the Strip, and that continuing this campaign will harm the prisoners, as if they have discovered this by now. Is the attempt to exonerate Netanyahu a prize offered to him in order to accept this very bitter settlement?
Whatever the reasons, we, the Palestinian people, will not be the losers in any regional deal reached. We may be wronged, we may be excluded, and our rights may be denied, but we certainly believe in the Prophet Abraham, who said to the stubborn, infidel king, “God brings the sun from the east, so bring it from the west.” Just like today, my people are oppressed and subjugated, but they will survive.
