Glittering Stars in a Dark Landscape : Early Auguries of the 2020 Arab "Normalization" with Israel Paperback / softback
by Raphael Israeli
Paperback / softback
Description
Noted scholar Raphael Israeli describes the surprising "normalization" process that occurred during the pandemic year 2020, in his latest book, Glittering Stars in a Dark Landscape: Early Auguries of the 2020 Arab "Normalization" with Israel.
He explains how the 2020 explosion of the "normalization" between Israel and some Arab Gulf States was the fruit of a long process of Arab self-reckoning.
Its fruition was crowned, thanks to the efforts of President Donald Trump and his Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, with counsel from presidential advisor Jared Kushner.
The process marks a revolution, insofar as it not only reverses the negative position taken by some Arab States that refused to deal with Israel as long as the Palestinian issue is not resolved, but in view of the Gulf States' wealth and influence, this reversal will encourage others to follow in their footsteps.
Great economic and political benefits will also accrue to Israel as a result.
