Shifting Sands of American-Israeli Diplomacy - Abrahamic Accords in Rear View

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), May 26, 2021 at 08:53

These latest rounds of rocket fire are the source of consternation in the loss of any future participation towards stabilization of relations with the Middle East and a sovereign Israel. While it might be said that Israel had the upper hand in demolishing Gaza/Hamas infrastructure and rocket-launching camp sites, the ulterior and subliminal motives of the Iranian Islamic Regime's desire for unrest was achieved. There may be some new relationships with the UAE and other Gulf states members with Israel, but the 'Palestinian's' can still make any peace prospect look like a Tom Clancy plot with a bad outcome.
After totally demonstrating that a two state solution is NOT what the 'Palestinian' leadership desire in all of this, it appears that the American 46th Administrative Chief Executive is poised to backtrack and at least discuss things from a tow state posture, that as this is being written, the American representative Blinken is in Egypt to get their take on all of this; important since Egypt is more than peripherally involved. They have their border to protect from the Gaza/Hamas complex as well.
A number of transitions are occurring at the same time, that after the 46th American Administration passed its 100 days and Israel cannot seem to find a compatible government, and let us not forget further exasperation led by the Iranian Islamic Regime's search for a new president, Israel has got her hands full. This latest round of hostilities did what it was supposed to do, chilling the Abrahamic Accords; now Israel has to regroup, again.
This time, the Americans will not be watching out for peace, merely acting out as referees and limiting resources from its own reluctant desire to see Israel succeed. Too much attention is being paid (along with billions) to the Iranian Islamic Regime and the other complicit actors from around the world.
And still to be seen; the reckoning that beckons while the world has a coliseum view of Israel's game of thrones. 40 years in the Sinai would seem like a cake walk now,
