Amidst the struggle for the Iran nuclear deal, America has officially asked Muslim countries like Saudi, Qatar and Pakistan to join the Abraham Accords. This is a diplomatic agreement, at the center of which is the Jewish state of Israel. In 2020 America muslim countries The Abraham Accords were proposed to normalize the situation between India and Israel. UAE had signed this agreement at that time.
Lindsey Graham, a Republican Party senator and close to President Donald Trump, said that this is necessary to normalize the situation in the Middle East. American outlet Axios did a report on Monday. It was said that Trump had forcibly asked these countries to join it.
First understand what is Abraham Accord?
This agreement (Abraham) has been named after the prophet Abraham, who is considered the ancestor of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The Abraham Accords is a diplomatic agreement that brought changes in the politics of the Middle East. This agreement was initiated by America.
In 2020, UAE was the first to agree to this agreement. After this Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco also joined it. US President Donald Trump had laid the foundation of this agreement during his first term.
This agreement is considered a major diplomatic step in getting recognition of Israel from Arab countries.
Why does it want to include these countries in the agreement?
1. America is working on MESA (Middle East Strategy Affairs) in the Middle East. Through this, its effort is to bring together some countries of the Middle East and Asia. Israel, Saudi, Qatar and Pakistan are necessary for this mission, so that the influence of Russia and China in the Middle East can be completely eliminated in the future.
2. Due to the attack on Palestine, the acceptance of the Jewish country Israel is less among Muslim countries. To increase this, America had prepared the draft of Abraham Agreement. If Saudi, Pakistan and Qatar join the agreement, then their defense and trade relations with Israel will be fine. Israel’s acceptance will increase in the Muslim world.
3. Iran and Taliban are two countries which can pose a threat to America. To keep both under control, there are preparations to include Pakistan in this agreement. Pakistan is the first Muslim country in the world to have nuclear weapons.
4. Vice President of Quincy Institute Trita Parsi According to him, President Trump is trying to be pro-Israel by raising the issue of Abraham Accords. The issues agreed upon between America and Iran are being considered anti-Israel. In such a situation, Trump is trying to keep the Jewish community happy by raising the Abraham issue.
Why is there a religious crisis for Pakistan and Saudi?
Atlantic Council Senior Fellow in South Asia Michael Kugelman According to him, it is not easy for Pakistan to join it. The people of Pakistan will not accept this. The issue of Palestine has always been hot there. Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has said that he will not participate in it, but Khawaja’s opinion is not given priority in Pakistan’s policy matters.
Kugelman further says – This is the risk of working with America. Washington can make a proposal at any time that you cannot even think of. Saudi also has similar tension.
