How did Trump manage to get 3 Arab countries to normalize with “Israel”?

Did Trump Achieve Election Gains Through The Normalization Process?

Trump used normalization to promote during his election campaign.

Are there other countries moving to standardization?

Trump announced that normalization will not be limited to Sudan, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

At the end of his first term, US President Donald Trump was able to do what previous US presidents had not done for a few months before him, concluding normalization agreements between three Arab countries and the state. occupation, which gave him electoral gains from these agreements.

Trump has recently made unprecedented strides in the history of Arab relations with “Israel.” The UAE, Bahrain and Sudan have announced a peace deal with them, amid talks about other Arab countries’ willingness to follow suit, including Saudi Arabia.

Throughout the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, the United States has managed to conclude only two peace agreements with Arab countries. The first was between Egypt and “Israel” in 1979, which is known as the “Camp David” agreement, and the second with Jordan in 1994, “the Wadi Araba Agreement”.

The inability of Arab countries to normalize with the occupation in recent years is due to a number of reasons, including the apparent; It is the Arab League’s obligation for its members to establish relations with “Israel”, the latter’s withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967, allowing the Palestinians to establish their independent state on the 1967 borders and to resolve the refugee problem.

Trump’s choice to announce the successive agreements between the three Arab countries and the Israeli occupation came shortly before the US presidential elections, to be held on November 3, in a bid to secure the votes of the electorate. American, especially Jews.

American coercion

Trump said in one of his speeches last September: “These pioneering agreements represent the start of a new dawn in the Middle East, because we have achieved different results, which are much better than their predecessors, and this news method has proven itself. “

The US president said that many countries in the Middle East will follow the normalization process, “knowing that it will serve their interests and that of the world.”

Emirati dissident Abdul Rahman Belhaj confirms normalization has been in place for more than 20 years, that is, before Trump came to the White House, but what he has done is compel these countries to establish relations with “Israel” after it involves them to play a role beyond their capacities. At the Arab and Gulf level.

According to Hajj Online, the reasons that prompted Trump to normalize these countries are because they received orders from them that they “would lose the protection of the strategic coalition in the Middle East on which they depend to maintain their tyrannical regimes and fight political Islam ”.

And these regimes have put, as Belhaj says, “all the eggs in Trump’s basket, and his loss has become a threat to their regimes, especially after learning about the Democratic Party’s directions towards the Arab Gulf.”

According to Hajj, three geopolitical projects are in competition in the region: It is the Iranian, Turkish and Israeli project, behind the United States of America and the European Union.

He added: “Mohammed bin Zayed and the countries of the counterrevolution have chosen the Zionist camp, which was formed on the basis of the vision of US President Trump called the Middle East Strategic Alliance Project.”

According to Hajj, this alliance consists of the Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt to confront the Turkish and Iranian project and the political Islamist groups which threaten American interests in the region, the “Zionist project”.

Trump’s success in the success of the deal between the UAE and “Israel”, as Hajj explains, is due to the panic that gripped bin Zayed over the possibility of defeating the current US president in the upcoming elections, especially with opinion polls showing progress. of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

On the beneficiary of the normalization agreements alongside Trump, the UAE opposition claims that the occupying state is the most important beneficiary because this makes it officially present in the Arab Gulf region, rich in oil and gas, and opens the door for Israeli businesses in the UAE and the region.

According to Hajj, the Trump-sponsored agreements will only help drag the region into devastation and devastation, as Arab countries whose governments have signed peace agreements with the occupying Power have failed, so the UAE and Bahrain will not be better off than Egypt and Jordan.

Election gains

According to observers, the way he announced the three normalization agreements is Trump’s exploitation of the central Arab issue by attracting 3 Arab countries to normalization and arguing that he offered “Israel” what no previous president offered to earn more. Jewish votes before the elections.

In this context, Khalil Jahshan, executive director of the Washington Arab Center, considers that the announcement by the White House of the peace agreement between “Israel” and the United Arab Emirates was made in the form of a ” election declaration ”aimed at strengthening President Trump’s position ahead of the third election in November.

Jahshan confirms in a report published by the British site “Middle East Eye” last August that the two parties have agreed on nothing but to use this declaration as an electoral card to save Trump.

According to Jahshan, Trump has attempted, through the Israeli-UAE peace accord, to revive his electoral fortunes, while saving Netanyahu, who faces unprecedented protests and accusations of corruption.

Thomas Friedman, writer for the “New York Times” newspaper, described the recent Arab normalization with “Israel” as a “geopolitical earthquake” that would benefit the pro-American camp and supporters of moderate Islam, and that it ‘was “Trump’s first absolute diplomatic success.”

Trump used during his announcement of an agreement between Sudan and “Israel” to normalize relations between them in tripartite contact with the head of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council and the Israeli prime minister, this agreement to achieve gains election against Biden.

Trump intended to show that if Biden were president he wouldn’t be able to make these deals by asking Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “Do you think a sleepy atmosphere could have made such a deal?”

Apart from Trump’s statements, his administration also used normalization as election propaganda, when US envoy to the Middle East Avi Berkowitz warned that the victory of Democratic candidate Biden could undermine normalization agreements between Arab countries and “Israel”.

The Israeli newspaper “Jerusalem Post”, Friday October 23, quoted Berkowitz as saying: “Biden could change the American position on Iran, which will affect the agreements of normalization”.
