FUTURE OF ABRAHAM ACCORDS. UAE HONEYMOON PERIOD WITH ISRAEL IS OVER WHILE RIYADH IS LOOKING FORWORD WITH ITS OWN LEVERAGE. FAR RIGHT COALTION OF BIBI ARE HARDLINERS.

 "But with the current far-right Israeli government, some believe that the accords’ expansion has frozen, at least for now. And three years on, the UAE is facing challenges in working with Israel’s most extreme government ever."

"And it ( UAE) did benefit from the accords, with 450,000 Israelis visiting the UAE between January 2021 and January 2023 and Israeli companies doing business in the Gulf country as well."

"“For Israeli businessmen, too, the Gulf is a new market … For many Israelis unhappy with the economic woes of their country, the UAE became a destination for job seekers,” she added."

"The minority [of Emiratis] who cheered for normalisation are likely doing so as a patriotic duty. The overwhelming majority who silently oppose it choose to simply not legitimise it by engagement. The rapid and exaggerated accommodations made in the name of tolerance is perceived as distasteful to a largely conservative population,” al-Hussein said."

"The biggest prize is Saudi Arabia, which has significant leverage over the future of the Abraham Accords.

"Since 2020, Riyadh has been able to monitor how the accords played out. If it joins, which seems unlikely in the foreseeable future, that would likely facilitate other Arab-Islamic countries following suit."

"The UAE itself now appears to be looking to Saudi Arabia to pick up the task of holding Israel to account."
