Michael Arria speaks with JVP Action’s Beth Miller about the impact of the Abraham Accords, and recent congressional efforts to enhance them.

Joe Biden’s embrace of the Trump’s administration’s Abraham Accords has included the position that Morocco has sovereignty over Western Sahara.

During their time in The White House the Trump administration helped negotiate a number of arms deals between Israel and other authoritarian governments, while cutting the Palestinians out of the process completely. This is sometimes hilariously referred to as a “peace plan”, but people usually roll with something less Orwellian and call it “The Abraham Accords.”

At the Zionist Organization of America’s annual gala, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared that Israel does not occupy any Palestinian land.

Mainstream media tends to focus on politicians, but the contours of what’s possible are determined outside of Washington. Despite the tragedies of 2021, the movement for Palestinian rights continued to grow in surprising and profound ways.

Barak Ravid’s new book on the Trump administration offers a fascinating look at how the “special relationship” works.

A new market has opened up for Israeli weapons and settlement products — the United Arab Emirates.

It’s clear that the Biden administration isn’t going to roll back a lot of Trump era policies in Israel/Palestine.

A bipartisan group of Senators introduced a bill last week to advance the normalization of ties between Israel and Arab governments. The bill builds on the Trump administration’s cynical business deals with Arab governments to further their interests at the expense of the Palestinian people. It is highly doubtful the Biden administration will oppose it.

The Biden administration may be looking to overturn many of the Trump administration’s policies — but not when it comes to Israel.
