Since the signing, Israel has been engaged in numerous business and tourism deals with the UAE and Bahrain, while the U.S. agreed to sell F-35 stealth fighter jets to the UAE. An estimated 200,000 Israeli tourists visited the UAE in the last year, the U.S. government says, and the two countries have exchanged ambassadors.
Although none of the signatories to the Abraham Accords were engaged in war with Israel, they had not recognized the country. It was a major step for them to grant diplomatic recognition to Israel.As some small gulf states normalize relations with Israel, Palestinians see fraying support Yet, no progress — by the U.S. or regional powers — has been made on negotiations with the Palestinians. Washington has not reopened the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem, a de facto embassy for the Palestinians, despite promises to do so. The consulate was subsumed when Trump moved the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018 to criticism from international allies and outcry from the Palestinians, who have shunned the embassy because it broke decades of U.S.
“The Biden administration started out with a clear commitment to the two-state solution,” the official added. “We continue on with that commitment and we seek to advance it as we can, when we can, as best we can.” Some Middle East experts have suggested the Biden administration has remained lukewarm on the Abraham Accords. Why is not clear, they say, noting it could be because it was a Trump achievement or because current officials see only limited progress under it.
