Arab Normalization and Palestinian Radicalization: The Tug of War over the Middle East Peace Process
(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh - The Palestinian leadership has denounced the Abraham Accords by its longtime Arab allies and financial donors, and is pivoting toward the radical, terror-sponsoring Iranian and Turkish regimes. The Palestinian leadership should honor the Abraham Accords' call for unconditional mutual recognition and normalization of relations with Israel as the keys to opening a viable political and diplomatic agreement that can provide enormous benefits to the Palestinian people. A Palestinian realignment with peaceful Arab states will enable the PA to sit at the negotiating table with its Israeli neighbor without preconditions, accepting the Abraham Accords' principle of normalization, mutual acceptance, and goodwill in order to maximize the prospects for a successful negotiated compromise.
