I've Been Thinking:
The framework for the Abraham Accords has been made public and the parties are sitting down to iron out the details. Responses and reaction is flooding in, most of it expected.
These responses leave no doubt as to where people and countries stand on the issues of Israel and real peace.
Many voices are saying the best part of the deal is Israel’s tabling of their plan to annex parts of the West Bank.
When Turkey came out blasting the deal saying that it was a stab in the back and that peoples of the region "will never forget and will never forgive this hypocritical behavior", many were taken aback.
Not me. It is exactly the response I expected from Erdogan.
The response is, never the less, insightful. It demonstrates how far Turkey has moved in the past few years. Once a friend of Israel, Turkey cannot now even see the benefit other states can receive by normalizing with Israel.
Not a surprise, but still a shame.
