Biden’s bid to expand on Trump’s Abraham Accords fails: casualties rise, conflict persists.
Joe Biden’s Failed Attempt to Build on Trump’s Successful Abraham Accords
Joe Biden’s dumpster-fire presidency continues to trigger global instability, as the peace that former President Donald Trump engineered in the Middle East through the historic Abraham Accords has collapsed.
On Saturday, war erupted in the Mideast after Iran-backed Hamas terrorists launched more than 3,500 rockets into Israel and militants stormed into the country from the Gaza Strip, slaughtering hundreds of people.
Tellingly, the siege occurred just three weeks after Biden unfroze $6 billion of Iran’s assets as part of a lopsided prisoner-exchange deal that critics warned would incite violence.
The latest terrorist attack is a stark contrast to the tentative peace that had reigned after Trump coordinated the 2020 Abraham Accords, bilateral agreements that normalized Israeli-Arab relations.
Before this weekend’s aggression, Biden had made a concerted effort to build on the success of the Abraham Accords. That obviously backfired in spectacular fashion.
Even some liberals are slamming the 80-year-old Democrat for destabilizing the Mideast.
“The new outbreak of intense violence represents a total failure of the Biden administration’s Middle East policy,” The Intercept columnist Murtaza Hussain wrote Monday.
“The administration has centered its regional policy on the expansion of the ‘Abraham Accords,’ a set of diplomatic normalization agreements between Israel and regional Arab countries,” Hussain wrote. “It is an effort in which President Joe Biden has sunk much resources and political capital.”
Yousef Munayyer, a Palestinian-American political analyst, also blamed Biden for fueling the conflict.
“If you pay attention to their public statements, every government in the Middle East has been saying for years that you need to pay attention to the Palestinian issue and that it cannot be ignored,” Munayyer told the Intercept.
“The Biden administration’s policy has been to simply ignore the tragic situation on the ground, perhaps more than any other administration. It’s deliberate ignorance that has had very devastating consequences.”
On Tuesday, Trump lambasted Biden on Truth Social, contrasting his own presidency to the incumbent’s chaotic tenure.
“When I was your president, we had PEACE through STRENGTH, and now we have weakness, conflict, and chaos!” the leading GOP candidate in the 2024 presidential race wrote.
On Sept. 11 — the day the White House unfroze $6 billion of Iranian assets — Trump warned that Iran would use that money to launch terrorist attacks. And lo and behold, that’s exactly what appears to have happened.
“Can you believe that Crooked Joe Biden is giving $6 Billion to the terrorist regime in Iran?” the former president wrote on Truth Social.
“That money be used for terrorism all over the Middle East, and, indeed, the World.”
On Monday, the Biden administration said it does not plan to refreeze the $6 billion it allowed Iran to access last month.
Even people who hate Trump have to admit that things were better during his presidency than under Biden.
When Trump was in the Oval Office, there were no new foreign wars, the U.S. economy was thriving — until the pandemic erupted — and buying groceries didn’t feel like highway robbery.
Just three years later, the Middle East is on fire, war is raging in Ukraine and the southern U.S. border is under daily invasion by unvetted armies of illegal aliens.
Trump faced down a number of threats in the Mideast, including killing Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian forces.
In contrast, both the United States and the world are increasingly unstable and volatile under the current regime. We are now inching ever closer to World War III.
Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec, a former Navy intelligence officer, succinctly summed up the “Trump Doctrine” in a Monday post on the social media platform X:
“The Trump Doctrine – Peace Through Savagery:
- Constant threats.
- Occasional assassinations.
- Frequent peace deals.

The post Biden’s Attempt to Build on Trump’s Successful Abraham Accords Ends in Failure: Hundreds Dead, War Raging appeared first on The Western Journal.
What was the impact of the unfreezing of Iran’s assets on regional stability, and why did critics warn against it?
Nnot be sidelined,” Munayyer said in an interview with The Western Journal.
It is clear that Biden’s attempt to build on the successful Abraham Accords has resulted in an utter failure, leading to further destabilization in the Middle East. The Abraham Accords, initiated by former President Donald Trump, were a groundbreaking achievement in Israeli-Arab relations, ushering in a period of relative peace and cooperation in the region. However, Biden’s misguided policies and actions have undermined the progress made and contributed to the recent outbreak of violence.
One of the key actions taken by Biden that has had disastrous consequences was the unfreezing of $6 billion of Iran’s assets. This move not only provided a financial boost to a regime known for its support of terrorism but also signaled a willingness to appease Iran, a country that poses a significant threat to stability in the region. Critics had warned that such a move would incite violence, and sadly, their predictions turned out to be true.
The recent wave of attacks by Iran-backed Hamas terrorists and militants from the Gaza Strip further highlights the failure of Biden’s Middle East policy. The violence and loss of life could have been prevented if Biden had pursued a more balanced approach and prioritized the security and well-being of Israel and its allies in the region. Instead, his focus on building on the Abraham Accords and expanding diplomatic normalization agreements has only served to exacerbate tensions and create a power vacuum that extremist groups are quick to exploit.
Even liberals, who are typically supportive of Biden, have criticized his handling of the situation. Murtaza Hussain, writing for The Intercept, described the outbreak of violence as a “total failure” of the Biden administration’s Middle East policy. Hussain pointed out that Biden had invested significant resources and political capital in promoting the Abraham Accords, only to see his efforts result in further instability and violence. This criticism from within his own political camp underscores the magnitude of Biden’s failure.
Yousef Munayyer, a Palestinian-American political analyst, also placed blame on Biden for fueling the conflict. Munayyer highlighted the long-standing demand by governments in the Middle East to address the Palestinian issue and warned that ignoring this issue would inevitably lead to increased tension and violence. Biden’s failure to prioritize the Palestinian issue and instead focus solely on expanding the Abraham Accords demonstrates a shortsightedness and lack of understanding of the complex dynamics at play in the region.
In conclusion, Joe Biden’s attempt to build on the successful Abraham Accords has backfired spectacularly, resulting in the collapse of peace in the Middle East. His unfreezing of Iran’s assets and misguided policies have only contributed to further destabilization and violence in the region. The recent outbreak of attacks by Iran-backed terrorists and militants highlights the failure of Biden’s Middle East policy and the detrimental impact it has had on regional security. It is clear that Biden’s dumpster-fire presidency has had disastrous consequences for global stability and the prospects for peace in the Middle East.
