Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ) is calling for the Abraham Accords to become the "Abraham Alliance" in a recent op-ed for the Jerusalem Post.
In the article, Rep. Hamadeh describes this proposed alliance as "a permanent strategic coalition between America, Israel, and Gulf partners like Saudi Arabia, the UAE [United Arab Emirates], Qatar, and Bahrain. Not simply diplomatic ties, but integrated economic, technological, intelligence, military, cybersecurity, energy, and infrastructure cooperation designed to shape the 21st century."
The main goal, no doubt, is to continue keeping Iran in check as the Trump White House continues seeking a means of preventing the regime from pursuing nuclear weapons.
In addition, Rep. Hamadeh suggests that "the center of geopolitical gravity is shifting," and that "The old transatlantic consensus that dominated the post-Cold War era is weakening, while a new strategic and economic corridor is emerging across the Middle East. The countries that embrace innovation, sovereignty, security, and economic modernization will define the next generation of global influence."
After all, he points out that Israel and other Gulf states are or are becoming technological powerhouses, and the United States remains the only country powerful enough to provide the bedrock for this new geopolitical relationship.
"The Abraham Alliance would also represent something larger than economics or military coordination," the Arizona Congressman continued, "It would be a civilizational partnership rooted in stability, religious coexistence, entrepreneurship, and national strength against the forces of extremism and decline."
Hamadeh has been a strong supporter of the Accords, previously introducing legislation last April that would require the institutionalization of training on the Abraham Accords and other normalization agreements for future American diplomats heading to the Middle East.
In September, Hamadeh celebrated the fifth anniversary of the Accords, saying, "President Trump and his team proved that peace in the Middle East could be achieved without firing a single bullet."
