“In danger” … a resolution threatening peace agreements between Israel and Arab countries

Outgoing US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman revealed in a press release on the “Israel Today” website on Saturday that peace agreements between Israel and Arab countries “are in danger.”

Recent peace accords are under threat

In a press interview, Friedman said: “Any decision by President Joe Biden to cancel sanctions and rapprochement with Iran will jeopardize recent peace agreements between Israel and Arab countries.”

“The agreements signed with UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco are extremely important for regional stability,” he said.

Stressing that he believes that “these agreements have the power to change the Middle East in the next hundred years”, but “it is still in its infancy, given that the agreements are new and their importance should not be underestimated, ”according to Friedman.

Empower Iran

Friedman stressed in his interview with the press the danger of a rapprochement with Iran, saying: “It is clear that the greatest danger facing these agreements is the empowerment of Iran, and I think that this will remove the United States as a reliable player in this region, and that’s very dangerous. “

“If the United States were to restore power to Iran, then Washington would not be able to move forward with these agreements, because it would lose its credibility,” said the American ambassador.

And he thought that if the Biden administration proceeded to give the Iranians a way to acquire a nuclear weapon, “it will threaten America’s credibility in this region. I think we’re not in a worse situation, for reasons that I can’t discuss some of them. We will be in a much better condition if we maintain the sanctions against Iran. “

Friedman also indicated that he is not suggesting that America should not try to strike a deal with Iran, “but if the deal is done, we have to make sure there is no chance that Tehran acquires nuclear weapons “.

It should be noted that US Ambassador Friedman had previously expressed concern over President Joe Biden’s appointments, stating: “The important foreign policy appointments of President-elect Joe Biden are a cause for concern regarding the Iranian nuclear threat. “
