Accords

One of the accomplishment of the Trump administration was the Abraham Accords where the US coordinated a series of treaties between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco to normalize relations. They then joined Egypt and Jordan who already had friendly relations with Israel and the next step was to bring Saudi Arabia on board. This plan was ignored by Biden when he came into office and it sat on the back burner for three years. Now that war has broken out this plan is important. The Saudis want to join because it will bring with it the protection of the US and they fear that Iran will take over their oil fields. On the surface this looks just like another anti Trump action or in this case lack of action. Many have suggested that Iran pushed Hamas to attack Israel to derail the deal with the Saudies. There is evidence to suggest that this war could have been avoided if the Saudies had joined the Accords.
