Diplomatic recognition of Israel, is a clear statement in support of Israel’s right to exist, and its right to pursue policies to protect itself, and, by extension, the entire region.
Seen through the lens of the Sunni-Shi’ite conflict, and especially the threat (to Sunni Arabs) of Iran and its proxy, Hezbollah, the move by moderate Sunni Arab states to reconcile with Israel is inevitable and wise. It is motivated by fear of Iran. In this context, therefore, hatred toward Israel and support for the Palestinian cause (eliminating Israel) are relatively minor concerns. The reason for recognizing and establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel is existential, not emotional – and it has global consequences.
Former US president Barack Obama’s deal with Iran, including sending planeloads of cash to Iran, and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s promise to renew this policy of appeasement empowers Iran and directly threatens Sunni Arab states. President Donald Trump’s reelection, therefore, is essential to protect them from Iranian aggression. In addition, Russian and Chinese support for Iran is seen by Sunni Arab states as a threat to their existence.
