Years of relative peace in the Middle East went up in flames this week when Hamas, the Islamic terror group elected to represent Palestinian Arabs in 2006, fired rockets into Tel Aviv. Israel retaliated by killing two Hamas intelligence leaders. The violence does not show any signs of stopping. And to think, things had been going so well.
On August 13 of last year, Israel and the United Arab Emirates signed onto the Abraham Accords, the first public normalization of relations between an Arab state and Israel since statements made by Jordan in 1994 and Egypt in 1979. The Trump administration negotiated the deal, which was signed on the South Lawn of the White House. Bahrain signed onto the agreement less than a month later.
