Gaza War

A brief history of the Middle East war and why it ended. It begins with the major achievement of Trump’s first term, the Abraham Accords. This was an agreement between Israel and four Arab countries, UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco to normalize relations with Israel. In the fall of 2020 Saudi Arabia was considering the possibilities of these Accords as a force united against Iran. As relations warmed with the Saudis, Iran became increasing concerned. Many feel this was the reason that Iran gave the go ahead to Hamas to attack Israel. In October of 2023 Hamas attacked Israel and this led to a series of events that ended in the destruction of Hamas. In Sept 2024 Hezbollah was destroyed by bombs in telephones. On December 2024 the Syrian government collapsed cutting off the access road to both Hezbollah and Hamas. In June of 2025 the US bombed the nuclear sites in Iran and along with the sanctions left Iran in disarray. At this point Israel went all in on destroying Hamas. Last week 30 countries, including nine Arab countries, met in Egypt to set up plans to bring peace to the Middle East. The plan is to rebuild Palestine.
