It is impossible to strengthen or expand the "Abraham Accords" through normalization with Saudi Arabia, according to US Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who said this at a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. This is especially true given the tense conditions in Israeli society, settlement expansion, and the escalation of what he called "violence" in the occupied West Bank.
In a recent phone call, Cohen and Blinken discussed Israeli-American efforts to widen the "peace" circle and set a new date for the Negev summit, which has been postponed numerous times. At the time, Morocco had announced the summit's postponement in light of the occupation's announcement to construct new illegal outposts in the occupied West Bank.
