The Abraham Accords, hailed as a historic step toward peace between Israel and several Arab nations, are now under renewed scrutiny as more countries consider joining. The article compares the potential impact of the Accords to the Magna Carta, emphasizing their significance in shaping regional and global relations. However, it highlights foundational contradictions between Western legal principles and Islamic law, raising questions about the durability and sincerity of the agreements. The lack of a unified, consistently signed document and the persistence of anti-Israel sentiments among some signatories cast doubt on the Accords' effectiveness. The author proposes revising the Accords to include explicit commitments to international law, mutual recognition, and genuine acceptance of Israel's sovereignty, suggesting that such reforms could make the Abraham Accords a modern equivalent of the Magna Carta in promoting peace and human rights.
