Rule number 1 of any treaty:
The accepted representAtives of all parties must sign off on the terms of a treaty, unless your name is Douglas MacArthur and you’ve brought the legal representatives of the Japanese government to the deck of the USS Missouri to sign the terms of an unconditional surrender. But even then, MacArthur observed protocol by ensuring all legal representatives of the parties were ther.
The AA's were a trilateral deal between Israel, UAE and Bahrain.
The Palestinians were left out because they weren't serious. About anything.
The Abraham Accords was a meaningless piece of paper, good only for papering over the absence of the very people who were “the problem”.
Yeah, not so much. Neither of those two countries had ever recognized Israel's sovereignty before. You may call that "useless" but in diplo circles and in international relations that's a massive deal, opening the door to trade agreements and other functions.
And its worthlessness became glaringly evident three years later on October 7th, when Hamas impressed the message in an orgy of violence, “Hey, remember us?”
Again, not so much. Nobody told Hamas to r@pe and murder their way across southern Israel and take captives - many of whom are still not accounted for.
The Gazans have no one to blame but themselves.
