What's the real aim of the disastrous UAE-Israel deal

By J. Michael Springmann

Israel and the United Arab Emirates have announced an agreement leading to full diplomatic relations -- with the help of US President Donald Trump (who has a Zionist daughter and son-in-law Jared Kushner). Sealed after a long-running series of negotiations and confirmed in a phone call on August 13 among Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli co-prime minister, Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed, and Donald Trump, the US president, the participants will formally sign the accord at the White House in coming weeks.

Trump's comment? “HUGE breakthrough today! Historic Peace Agreement between our two GREAT friends, Israel and the United Arab Emirates,” he wrote on Twitter. 

But is it?

• Israel will suspend "applying sovereignty to the West Bank"--which it already controls.
• It will give Muslims greater access to the Haram al-Sharif by permitting them to fly from Abu Dhabi to Tel Aviv -- but what happens when the Muslims seek access to the Dome of the Rock?
• Trump's senior adviser Jared Kushner, the US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Middle East envoy Avi Berkowitz, Zionists all,  were deeply involved in negotiating the deal.

What's the real aim of the agreement?  It's glaringly obvious. It is directed at splitting the Arab world, and engaging the Zionist entity with the repressive, authoritarian, and medieval Persian Gulf statelets. In pontificating on the agreement, Trump said, "Now that the ice has been broken, I expect more Arab and Muslim countries will follow the United Arab Emirates’ lead .... and normalize relations with Israel.” It's also aimed at Iran.  "Brian Hook, the [outgoing] US State Department’s lead official on Iran, said the agreement amounted to a 'nightmare' for Iran in its efforts against Israel in the region."

Trump and his anti-Arab, anti- Muslims advisers apparently see this as a continuation of the Camp David Accords, normalizing relations between Israel and Egypt in 1978. That pact has been more than 40 years of abject failure.

What's worse is that this agreement is one between the only two nuclear states in the region, unless you count Iran's power station at Bushehr.  Israel has atomic, possibly hydrogen, bombs, and reactors.  The UAE has four nuclear power stations, one now operating and three nearly completed. How fast could that country produce enough fissionable material to build one, two, many bombs to use against Yemen?

But, there is Saudi Arabia. According to the Times of Israel (13 August 2020), in discussing the Kingdom's interest in nuclear power, “This is not an entirely hypothetical question. Riyadh is reportedly taking steps to advance its nuclear program in ways experts worry could indicate the future pursuit of uranium enrichment capability — in other words, the kingdom may be inching toward an atomic bomb." Where would a Saudi bomb be used?  Yemen or elsewhere?

So, Donald Trump's "Historic Peace Agreement" has pushed the Middle East farther towards instability, nuclear energy, and general war. It has enabled the dangerous rogue entity of Israel to increase the division of the Arab and Muslims worlds. It's like Churchill's comment on the Treaty of Versailles ending the First World War: "They sought peace. They shall have war."
