The Abraham Accords were created on the basis of peace through strength. The accords countries therefore see an interest in maintaining ties with Israel, as it fights these shared enemies.
On the morning of May 11, 2021, I arrived earlier than usual at my office in the Israeli Regional Cooperation Ministry, at that time located next to the Kirya in Tel Aviv.
I had been working on the implementation and advancement of the Abraham Accords, which had come into being the previous summer. It was the most peaceful time Israel had ever known.
But suddenly that changed.
Hamas started firing hundreds of rockets into Israel. Horrific scenes of arson and violence broke out in mixed cities such as Lod and Acre, which were set on fire by Islamists.
Israel was forced to respond, and the IDF launched Operation Guardian of the Walls, targeting Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
