Brief Analysis After the signing of the Abraham Accords, Morocco stands uniquely positioned to help with any negotiations between Hamas and Israel. The latest bout of violence between Israeli troops and Hamas in the Gaza Strip between May 10 and 21, 2021 caused dozens of deaths on both sides, including some 59 children, and involved a level of intensity not seen for two years. It stands as one of the most dramatic recent episodes in a more than 60-year conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. However, though part of a long-lasting trend of tensions and tragedy, this episode arrived in a unique regional context. This latest confrontation between Hamas and Israel marks the first such event after the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020. The accords, which represent a newly formed economic and, in some cases, strategic set of relationships between Israel and Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan and Morocco, under U.S. support, have therefore faced an initial trial in the form of May’s clashes. Nonetheless, while critics may regard this violence as a mark against the Abraham Accords and their signatories, this latest fighting between Palestinians and Israelis has brought the importance of a sustainable two-state solution into the limelight, and participants in the accords, like Morocco, stand poised to make meaningful contributions towards that end.
