Recent attacks on Qatar and Gaza City have heightened unease among Arab nations that maintain ties with Israel. Countries that entered the Abraham Accords or pursued quiet cooperation with Israel are now finding themselves caught between political agreements and the anger of their own citizens.
The bombardment of Gaza, coupled with strikes raising tensions in Qatar, fuels the perception that normalization with Israel has come at the cost of ignoring Palestinian suffering. Popular anger in Bahrain, Morocco, and the UAE is growing, threatening to undermine fragile arrangements that were touted as steps toward stability. Instead, Israel’s escalating violence deepens regional instability and erodes trust.
Arab leaders who once hoped engagement might encourage moderation now face a dangerous backlash. They must decide whether to continue down the path of normalization or to stand with their citizens in demanding accountability for Israel’s actions. The choice they make will determine whether the Middle East moves toward greater justice and peace—or further conflict.
