On Tuesday, Senate Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) up revived the old, flimsy conventional policy of seeking a Palestinian position before another peace agreements between Israel and its Muslim companions.
Secretary of State John Kerry, who vehemently defended the position in 2016, who insisted that” there could never be a distinct peace between Israel and the Egyptian world” before first negotiating with the Palestinians.
There will be no distinct peace between Israel and the Arab world, declared John Kerry in 2016. That is very important to me and I want to make that clear to you all. photograph. twitter.com/qsNO7CVhx Q

In 2020, President Donald Trump demonstrated the same by initiating the Abraham Accords between Israel and a number of Sunni Arab nations. The agreements were reached quickly after he denied the Palestinians a filibuster of another peace agreements.
President Joe Biden and his experts appear to have abandoned the previous strategy, claiming that under Trump, there had never been four decades of tranquility and peace.
In a reading of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Blinken and Van Hollen, a vocal critic of Israel, repeated the old adage, “failed phrase.
Van Hollen: … it’s in our federal safety interest to have a tough end to the conflict in Gaza, and to the larger Jewish- Palestinian conflict. And that we can just reach security, self-determination, respect, and justice for Israelis and Palestinians everywhere by ensuring standardization of relations with Israel, Saudi Arabia, and different states, as well as a clear plan to establish a Palestinian state, as I believe you have said, a time-bound plan. Am I paraphrasing that pretty?
Blinken: That’s accurate.
Van Hollen: Do you agree that it’s impossible to put an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by jumping over the injustices of the Israeli citizens, is that straight?
Blinken: Totally not. That’s unattainable, it would be personal- defeating.
Van Hollen: I want to illustrate that point. Because you know, Mr. Secretary, you’ve been in Washington for a while, it’s popular in some foreign policy lines to think that you could achieve that by moving over the Arab problem. You have said that the Saudis are persistent on a clear way to a Palestinian state, which I want to stress because of this.
Far from being “impossible”, Trump did it — , against what is “fashionable” in international policy lines. Also, the Saudis have no insisted on a Palestinian state — at least, not equally: the foreign secretary has, but Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman has not.
Notable is that since Biden’s administration in 2021, no Muslim condition has ratified the Abraham Accords and placed the Palestinians back in the top priority list.
