Abraham Accord Peace Agreement Full Text

We encourage efforts to promote interreligious and intercultural dialogue in order to promote a culture of peace among the three Abrahamic religions and all of humanity. Another way china could benefit from the Abraham Accords is through the balance of power in the Mediterranean. Since Beijing views Turkey`s behavior in Libya as destabilizing (although Beijing and Ankara officially support the libyan government`s civil war), the possibility of a firmer Israeli-Emirati geopolitical partnership that successfully thwarts Turkish ambitions there — and in the gas-rich Eastern Mediterranean — could serve China`s interests to see Ankara return to its “strategic box” and “neo-Ottoman” foreign policy. ». Limit ambitions. [6] However, when Iran-related considerations come into play, China has reason to be nervous. Beijing wants to deepen its diplomatic, economic and military ties with Tehran, which could make the deal between Israel and the UAE more difficult and risky for the Chinese. The Trump administration`s decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and exert “maximum pressure” on Iran in the form of comprehensive and harsh sanctions has had a negative impact on Beijing. The sanctions have forced the Chinese to drastically reduce their purchases of Iranian oil; and their trade relations with Tehran were examined more closely. Beijing fears that the agreement between Israel and the UAE will have implications for the regional order that could be at the expense of the Islamic Republic in a way that is bad for Sino-Iranian relations.

[7] We have a vision of peace, security and prosperity in the Middle East and the world. Chinese interests in the region are focused on acquiring natural resources and promoting the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which depends on regional stability. Simply put, if the agreements lead to a reduction in conflict in the MENA region, China will benefit enormously. But Beijing officials share the concern of many analysts that the Abraham Accord will eventually fuel polarization and radicalization in the region. If so, it will be at the expense of the future success of the BRI. [8] “اتفاق بين إسرائيل والبحري ن وترامب يصفه بالتاريخي” [“An agreement between Israel, Bahrain and Trump describes it as historic”], Alhurra, September 11, 2020, www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wa_Yakm08BU&list=PLlXih_wfMeQC0KnASwYzTBJsQ-5wAkq2E&index=2&t=0s&app=desktop. We, the signatories, recognize the importance of maintaining and strengthening peace in the Middle East and the world on the basis of mutual understanding and coexistence, as well as respect for human dignity and freedom, including religious freedom. The agreements are named after Patriarch Abraham, who is considered a prophet by the religions of Judaism and Islam and is traditionally considered the joint patriarch of the Jewish and Arab peoples (through Isaac and Ishmael).

Thanks to the great courage of the leaders of these three countries, we are taking a great step towards a future in which people of all faiths and backgrounds live together in peace and prosperity. Donald J. TrumpPresident of the United States A day after the first publication of the agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Beijing was “happy” that the two countries are taking steps to reduce tensions in the Middle East. [2] He also said, “We hope that the parties concerned can take concrete steps so that the Palestinian issue can return to equal dialogue and negotiations,” adding that China intends to play “a constructive role” in the realization of a Palestinian state. [3] Beijing is not under pressure to act quickly or courageously on the Abraham Accords.

As in countries around the world, China has not yet fully understood the impact of the agreements. Beijing officials will no doubt closely monitor the impact of the agreements on the region. China`s leaders will do everything in their power to mitigate any perceived risk that formalizing Israel`s relations with Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates poses to Beijing, while trying to take full advantage of the potential opportunities the deal could offer. .
