The Abraham Accords, signed in 2020, represent a shift in Middle Eastern diplomacy by normalizing relations between Israel and several Arab states—initially the UAE and Bahrain, later Morocco and Sudan—without requiring Israeli-Palestinian peace as a precondition. The agreements have reshaped regional alliances around shared economic and security interests, but their popularity among ordinary Arabs remains contested, with public opinion divided between those who see pragmatic benefits and those who view normalization as abandoning Palestinian causes. Understanding Arab public sentiment on this issue is crucial for assessing the accords' long-term viability and their impact on regional stability.
