A plan to pave the way for diplomatic accords between the US and Saudi Arabia is emerging — with Pres. Biden in the middle.
It’s been three years since the signing of the Abraham Accords — the groundbreaking peace agreement that established diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco. Since then, all eyes have been on the richest prize of all — extending the accords to include Saudi Arabia. Now, this “crown jewel,” as Israeli officials describe it, appears to be gaining momentum in the form of a trilateral agreement that includes the United States.
Case in point, Iran. Secretary of State Antony Blinken often talks about a renewed nuclear deal to “put Iran in the box.” Instead, the US appears to be getting a water-down agreement with the Iranians to pause its uranium enrichment program in exchange for sanctions relief.
Instead, the US is striking its own deal with Saudi Arabia aimed at lowering the cost of oil and keeping it priced in US dollars, rather than Chinese yuan. There is nothing wrong with that on its own; Americans deserve for their government to make energy more affordable while weakening China’s influence in the Middle East.
A key component of a potential Israel-Saudi deal brokered by the US is the containment of Iran and the nuclear ambitions of its president Ebrahim Raisi.Pres. Biden and Mohammed bin Salman continued the long-standing warmth between the US and Saudi Arabia, helping to fuel Biden’s desire for a peace plan with Israel during the current election cycle.While the US may be focused on its own benefits, Israel and Saudi Arabia clearly have much to gain from a successful peace agreement.
