world\u2019s hopes for peace in the \u200cMiddle East are sometimes\u2063 a step or two forward, sometimes a step\u200d or \u200dtwo backward, or maybe a\u200d time \u2063of \u2062equilibrium \u2014 a seething equilibrium, but \u2064at least a period\u2062 of overall external peace.<\/p>\n<p>Wars that break out from time to time change everything.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what\u2019s happening now in the days-old Israeli-Hamas war.<\/p>\n<p>Since these\u2064 things don\u2019t \u200chappen \u200din a vacuum, when <a

Israel - Situation appears dire\">open conflict arises<\/a>, things change throughout the region.<\/p>\n<p>The war has disrupted relations among the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Israel and undercut the nation-by-nation\u200d attempts of the Trump administration\u2019s Abraham Accords to \u2063develop peace in\u2064 the area.<\/p>\n<p>The weekend <a

have been designed to disrupt U.S. efforts to fashion some harmony between\u2062 the Saudis and the\u200d Israelis, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said,\u2062 according to <a

appears to be successful. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/10\/08\/us\/politics\/saudi-arabia-israel-palestinians-hamas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The \u2062New York Times<\/a> reported Sunday that Dennis Ross, who was involved with Middle East policy under several U.S. presidents, said\u200b in an interview that a Saudi official had told him that \u200d\u201cfor the moment, it is all on hold.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hammering out the Israel-Saudi link could have been a crowning achievement for President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister <a

Salman, according to the AP.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, Biden and Netanyahu, meeting in New York, basked in the ramifications of such an agreement, with the U.S. president noting that a \u200cdecade ago it would not\u2062 have been \u200dpossible.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/new-force-begins-rapid-mobilization-israel-things-soon-get-much-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\"

off the table,\u201d geopolitical consultant Ian Bremmer of the Eurasia Group said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/potentially-historic-deal-normalize-saudi-190527759.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fortune<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Bremmer described Hamas\u2019 attack on civilians \u2014 which left <a

9\/11.\u201d They \u200bwere \u201cthe first attacks deep into Israel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel voiced shock at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cover-mortar-barrage-second-infiltration-israel-kicks-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hamas attack<\/a>, but some say there should be no surprise given the ongoing stumbling block of Palestinian demands for\u2064 statehood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been telling you\u2063 guys over and over again that if you ignore the\u2063 Palestine issue the region\u2019s going to explode,\u201d said Yousef Munayyer of the Palestine-Israel Program at Washington\u2019s Arab Center,\u2062 according\u2064 to <a

officials have\u200c privately pushed for concessions to Palestinians, the Post reported, but Netanyahu has clearly stated a Palestinian state is not acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>For \u200cits part, Saudi Arabia\u200d put out a statement blaming Israeli policies for the\u2063 attack,\u200c according\u2064 to Fortune.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts by the U.S. to develop \u2062some\u2063 kind of peace between Israel and its neighbors have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/desantis-vetoes-alimony-bill-voicing-concern-at-retrospective-elements\/\" title=\"DeSantis Vetoes Alimony Bill, Voicing Concern at Retrospective Elements\">long history dating back<\/a> to President\u2064 Jimmy Carter\u2019s work with Egypt in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n<p>King Abdullah \u2064II of Jordan \u2013 whose country reached an agreement with Israel about three decades ago \u2013 has said a pact between\u2064 Israel and Saudi\u200b Arabia \u200dgave no promise of stability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis belief,\u200d by some in the region, that you can parachute over Palestine, deal\u200b with the Arabs and work your way back \u2014\u2064 that \u2063does not work,\u201d Abdullah said last month, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd even those countries that have Abraham Accords \u200dwith Israel have difficulty moving publicly on those issues when Israelis and Palestinians are dying,\u201d the king said. \u201cSo \u2064unless we solve this problem, there will never\u2062 be a \u2062true peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard\u2062 to measure it \u2013 in steps backward or in time, as in moving to the past.
