Deep dives
Intel report warned Abraham Accords would fuel violence
A recently obtained intelligence report revealed that the Abraham Accords, a diplomatic program that normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, would increase the risk of terrorist attacks in the Middle East and against Americans. The report, issued by the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration, highlighted concerns that the Accord's exclusion of Palestinians and the marginalization of their grievances would lead to rising tensions and potential violence. The report specifically warned of the threat of anti-Semitic violence against US Jews as a consequence of the Accord. The Biden administration has continued to pursue normalization and is even seeking to include Saudi Arabia, despite similar concerns of increased conflict and terrorist activity. The findings of the intelligence report further emphasize the complex dynamics and potential repercussions of the Abraham Accords.
